J'ai mis un point d'exclamation, car ce gîte manque d'un petit micro-onde qui ne serait pas de trop mais surtout d'une clime, la propriétaire au demeurant très accueillante devrait augmenter de 150 euro la location par semaine pour installer une clim et un volet à la chambre, vous avez une vue sur la vallée de l'Aude et au loin les Pyrénées, très jolie, à part cela nous avons passé un bon séjour mais un peu chaud (il faut une climatisation)

All we hoped for and more.
Dear Paola, you were a wonderful host. You personally added so much to our trip by sharing your knowledge of the area, and including us on some nice walks around the hillsides and vineyards. The views were fabulous. The gite was just right
for us and it had all the amenities and more. I particularly loved the little sun porch which was perfect for sipping our morning coffee and afternoon wine.
We will surely recommend your gite to any of our friends who want to venture to
south western France.

Breathtaking views just North of Olonzac
We spent 4 wonderful days just at the edge of Cesseras surrounded by nature.
The gite was clean and it was well appointed. The owner was very helpful and gave us a lot of information re the area.
The area is great for walking, hiking or bird watching. We used our bicycles and our doggy was very happy here. We recommend this gite to all travellers looking for piece and quiet, but yet just 5 minutes walk down to the bar in Cesseras.
