Nov 23, 2016 #### Sous le charme Nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement par Marianne dans son gite qui était à tout point de vue pour nous parfait ! Le village de Montlaur, le style déco de la maison intérieur (très propre) et extérieur (verdure et calme) nous avait déjà séduits sur photos, et nous n'avons pas été déçus! Marianne nous a également bien drivés sur les balades secrètes et activités de la région. C'est un lieu à découvrir. Merci ! ##### Aurore H.

Das Haus ist geräumig und sehr charmant eingerichtet. Die Wohn-Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und gemütlich, wir haben meistens selbst gekocht (tolles Fleisch vom örtlichen Schlachter, Gemüse vom kleinen Wochenmarkt). Das Grundstück ist traumhaft schön, der Pool ist herrlich und perfekt sauber. Der Esstisch unter dem großen Mandelbaum ist morgens und abends ein herrlicher Platz. Marianne ist eine besonders angenehme, diskrete und charmante Gastgeberin. ##### Kai J. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### emmanuel c. May 9, 2015 #### Séjour très agréable Maison très agréable, mobilier raffiné. Location très propre et bien entretenue. Deux vastes chambres, literie très confortable. Accès facile aux abbayes Cisterciennes et châteaux Cathares, proximité de Carcassonne. Petit bémol : une seule (petite) salle de bain incluant les WC ("limite" pour 4 personnes).
