About this property
A paradise for nature lovers, 20 minutes from Carcassonne
Located in the Lauquet valley on the edge of the village of Greffeil (two listed sites, the 18th century bridge and the 14th century roman church), a bioclimatic house, passive, comfortable, not overlooked, at garden level with swimming pool, with a nice view over the valley where the river offers beautiful swimming spots, adapted for couples (or with small child) nature lovers, people looking for calm or eager to discover good wines. A place to recharge your batteries, discover massages and taste local and organic products. Fans of cultural discoveries will enjoy visiting various tourist sites, for example the City of Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi, both designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Cathar Castles, Rennes - the castle made famous by the Da Vinci Code, Limoux Berceaux de la Blanquette Saint-Hilaire Abbey and its various medieval villages...The site offers, for people interested in hiking, climbing, horse riding, cycling (mountain biking), white water sports (like canyoning, rafting, canoeing, kayaking and swimming in white water), gliding and skiing, various activities on site or a bit further (by car, the Pic de Buggarach (1h), Puivert (1h), the Pyrenees (2h), the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain, 1h) and the sea (1h)...Your host, who likes theatre, will help you find the best programme...Or, at the end of the day, you can relax on the terrace while drinking a good wine, enjoy the last rays of sunshine and breathe...

The property is very comfortable, terraces, swimming pool, garden...Everything is full of details and beauty...The property was built on the hillside, with a terraced arrangement, surrounded by low wall stones, facing south and shaded in summer...really relaxing and far from the noises, this place is perfect to recharge your batteries...
