Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Fabulous 3 week stay at this spacious, gorgeous, quirky well equipped home. So peaceful, surrounded with wildlife. Deer and wild boar spotted in the grounds as well as birds. Whether lying out by the pool or having brunch or dinner on the terrace, it was fabulous. We had friends join us for the last week, so a great place to socialise. Patrick looked after us, and we had contact with the owner if needed, it wasn’t. Albi is well worth a visit Carcassonne and Mazamet too. There is a supermarket close by in Saint Pons Du Thomiere. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c2e0120f-76ae-4743-882c-139032fcb87b-1759045028118.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d9341d6e-f322-4519-93cb-c98457e73015-1759045028086.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21aaae1b-91f2-4fdb-9382-a0a0375ffde9-1759045027730.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47ae2bd7-68b2-4f61-8350-b70b0f041982-1759045027587.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Graham C.

Jul 19, 2025 #### Mooi huis in een prachtige omgeving, redelijk comfortabel. Proper en gezellig. ... Mooi huis in een prachtige omgeving, redelijk comfortabel. Proper en gezellig. Faciliteiten oké, alleen jammer dat je maar 1 handdoek per persoon krijgt voor een hele week en zelf je afval 2,5 km verderop moet wegbrengen wat al snel een half uur kost heen en terug. Wel fijn zwembad. Kortbij Pons de Thomière, leuk dorpje met goede restaurants en leuke markt. ##### Sandra G.

Aug 15, 2023 #### Ich habe meine Familie mit Freunden in einem Haus in Frankreich über Belvilla.nl ... Ich habe meine Familie mit Freunden in einem Haus in Frankreich über Belvilla.nl https://nl.belvilla.be/fr/100017667/ besucht. vom 15.07. bis 22.07. Am nächsten Tag erhielten wir eine große Anzahl von Fernsehsendungen. Das Haus kostete uns 2.500 Euro für die erste Woche, und ich hatte nur ein paar Tage Zeit, um mit der Ferse zu rechnen und mir eine gute Hygiene zu leisten (insgesamt nicht konform mit den vorherigen Fotos auf der Website). Der zuständige Dhr Die Eigentümer waren auf unserer Website seit langem dabei, und es war notwendig, dass sie nicht mit einem einzigen Klick gedrückt wurden. Sie haben noch nicht einmal darauf hingewiesen, dass das Haus staatlich anerkannt ist und dass Sie die Urkunde noch nicht einmal mit der gleichen Absicht versehen haben Ich habe nur 45 Minuten gedauert, bis der Dichter mehr als 45 Minuten gedauert hat. Ich habe nur 45 Minuten gedichtet, aber ich habe noch nie so viel gegessen, aber ich habe am 17.07. am 17.07 Van Belvilla möchte alle Bilder vor der Tür haben und auch eine E-Mail senden, um alle erforderlichen Informationen zu erhalten. Ich habe in der Woche viermal einen Mann gesehen, der von einer Belvilla-Reaktion erzählt hat. Wir hatten eine enorme Menge an Gelatine von Belvilla und wussten, dass wir hier nicht auf eine Rechnung stoßen konnten. Elke Voorafgaande Mail und Fotos gingen in den E-Mails von Belvilla verloren und wir sagten, wir könnten sie starten Nur eine Woche geöffnet. Alles war sofort erledigt, es wurden keine Fragen gestellt, der Besitzer und die Autorin hatten ihre Arbeit erledigt. Wir haben uns entschieden, eine Entschädigung für einen Betrag von 160 Euro zu erhalten. Hierop heb ik eine Reaktion auf Rückfragen, als wir uns auf eine Reihe von Fragen geeinigt haben Vor dem Tag müssen Sie eine angemessene Entschädigung erhalten. Das Ergebnis ist eine Entschädigung, die Sie auch wegen des Gewinns verlangen müssen, den Sie auf Belvilla erhalten ##### veronique d. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Jaw-Hotels-Temple-Gardens-Hotel-Spa.h1627315.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d184-tGolfHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Toulouse Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toulouse-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Toulouse-Airport.h2182154.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels.d4115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lily of the Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Maxime-Saint-Tropez-Hotels-Lily-Of-The-Valley.h36418920.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Amsterdam Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Amsterdam-Hotels-Ibis-Amsterdam-Centre.h25525.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Restaurant & Spa Au Tilleul](https://www.expedia.ca/Labaroche-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-Spa-Au-Tilleul.h24067602.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTELAir Paris CDG - Transit Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Mesnil-Amelot-Hotels-YOTELAir-Paris-CDG-Transit-Hotel.h18900469.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Orlando-Airport.h12270.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Club Mougins](https://www.expedia.ca/Mougins-Hotels-Le-Club-Mougins.h1967419.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Loreto](https://www.expedia.ca/Loreto-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d2152-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Jangle Hotel - Paris - Charles de Gaulle - Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Mesnil-Amelot-Hotels-The-Jangle-Hotel-Paris-CDG-Airport.h7980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Sapporo](https://www.expedia.ca/Sapporo-Hotels.d6054145.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to ROM-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rom/toronto-to-rome) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/msp/calgary-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) > > [Flights from Niagara Falls (IAG) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iag/tpa/niagara-falls-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bengaluru (BLR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/blr/toronto-to-bengaluru) > > [Flights from Madrid (MAD) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mad/yvr/madrid-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/man/yyz/manchester-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Tocumen (PTY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/pty/detroit-to-panama-city) > > [Air Canada Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-dubai-intl/ac/yyz/dxb) > > [Flights from Nelson (NSN) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nsn/yvr/nelson-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Qingdao (TAO) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/tao/yyz/qingdao-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Newark (EWR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ewr/vancouver-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yyz/moncton-to-toronto) ### Packages > [Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Forestry-Farm-Park-And-Zoo-Saskatoon.d6323209.Vacation-Attraction)
