Rundum schöner Aufenthalt in einem sehr gepflegten Haus mit gepflegtem Pool und Garten. Umgebung wunderschön. Das Haus erfĂŒllte alle WĂŒnsche in Hinsicht Komfort, Einrichtung und Details.
Wir waren zum zweiten Mal dort und wieder sehr zufrieden. check-in war unkompliziert. Die Lage ist ruhig. Die KĂŒche komplett ausgestattet. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen.Der Pool, super und unser Hund konnte frei laufen. Leider haben uns die BrĂ€nde in der Region etwas verunsichert, aber die Ansprechpartner vor Ort konnten uns "beruhigen". Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war wieder top. Wir wĂŒrden die Bilder im Portal aktualisieren, weil der Garten wirklich schön gewachsen ist.
Das Haus ist ĂŒber einen Feldweg zu erreichen (geht), nahe dem Dorfkern in den Weinbergen. Der Garten um das Haus sieht viel besser aus, als auf den Bildern. Alles ist dicht zugewachsen (vllt neue Bilder?). Der Garten ist komplett umzĂ€unt, gut fĂŒr unseren Hund.
Das Haus ist voll ausgestattet. Da wir uns selber versorgt haben, sehr gut. Neben dem Haus sogar ein grosser Grillplatz und ein separater Grill. Der Pool und die Lounge sehr schön. Es sind genug Liegen vorhanden. Es gibt eine Bouleplatz. Die HausĂŒbergabe und Abreise, sowie die Poolreinigung liefen ohne Probleme ab. Vielen Dank an Jeanne.
Bei den Haus ist zu beachten, dass man auf jeden Fall ein Auto zum einkaufen benötigt. Kleiner Supermarkt ca. 15-20 min und grosse oder Discounter 35-40 min.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
Really nice villa, much more reasonably priced that your average three bed with a pool!
What could be improved; larger beds and better mattresses and a little TlC in the garden, (weeding by poolside and on petanque area).

Lovely relaxing holiday
We arrived home yesterday after a fantastic two weeks in this lovely villa in the Corbiere Hills.
The villa is set in a rural village, reached by some narrow roads with beautiful views.
The location was ideal for us as we were looking for a relaxing holiday spent around a pool with some day trips to the coast and surrounding countryside.
The inside of the villa was lovely. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The shower was powerful, just what we needed after a day by the sea or pool.
The garden is, as it says in the description, still quite new. The patio, pool and seating area were lovely. The main part of the garden is still a work in progress, but my children enjoyed "going on an adventure" where they walked around the stubbly grass.
Although there are no shops in the village we enjoyed walking around, our children enjoyed looking for the donkeys at the entrance to the village each time we left the villa.
The communications from the owner before we went were fantastic, lots of advice about where to visit, places to buy wine and eat etc.

About the host
Hosted by Dariusz Kowalski
We are a Polish-British couple living and working in the UK, France and Poland. We have two gorgeous Golden Retrievers, accompanying us wherever we go. We had spent many great holidays in France before we decided to settle in Embres-Et-Castelmaure. Having explored France we fell in love with the Corbieres hills. We found the smell of the garrigue intoxicating and we love the sun of Languedoc and the Tramontane - a wind that brings a relief on particularly hot days.
Why they chose this property
The property is ideal for those who enjoy a rural French ambiance, lazy summer barbecues and peace, for those who want to experience the real France. But if you fell like visiting places that do not offer this level of peace, get in your car and drive to the coast (only 30 min away).
