The villa in Occitanie is great for kids – with triple bunk beds, mini trampoline, inflatables & an alarmed pool with cover.
The swimming lakes, cycling and running routes on our doorstep are an ideal training ground for triathletes!
There are several ski resorts ranging from just 45 minutes to 1.5 hours away!
The villa has several different terraces on which to relax, ideal for groups to have their own space.
The night market at Puivert Lake is buzzing with live music, food trucks and artisan food and trinket stalls every Wednesday night during high season.

The Aude region renowned for its natural, architectural and historical heritage. It is beautiful to visit in any season, benefiting from great weather, stunning scenery, historic sites and a range of activities all year round.

Really peaceful place to get away from it all and chill out. The house was spotless and comfortable, and the decor was gorgeous. Definitely a great spot to decompress from city living…

Beautiful location with a good price-for-value. It is quiet and it has amazing views. The host pays attention to detail and welcomed us with great care.
The balcony is a great place to have coffee in the morning. The kitchen had everything we needed & more. We barbecued a few nights in the outdoor kitchen and they had left charcoal for us which was a nice touch!
