A spacious well appointed 3 bedroomed house with air conditioning in the bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and all the necessary modern appliances. If you decide not to cook at home; then there are plenty of good, reasonably priced restaurants in the area to explore, two nearby with a Michelin star are certainly worth a visit.
The private south facing garden is planted with aromatic herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, bay, mint and lavender; where you can relax on the sunbeds in front of the pool soaking up the sun. Then when the heat becomes too much; you can take a cool dip in the pool. A gas barbecue is available and will be invaluable for entertaining and al-fresco dining.
There are plenty of local markets in the nearby towns of Castelnaudary, Villefranche de Lauragais and Revel; of which Revel is worth a visit on Saturday mornings. The Revel market and the area around here were featured in the television cookery series 'French Leave' with John Burton-Race.
