DISASTER OF A PLACE.....GOOD TO AVOID
This gite is in the middle of nowhere. It is only 7 km. from Limoux but because of the nature of the roads it is about a 15 minute trip each way. The only reason to stay here is if you wish to commune with spiders, flies, wasps and mosquitoes -- of which there are many. The facility itself is TINY. Hardly any room to move around. It was stifling hot and opening the windows was an invitation to all the bugs. There was a fan but literally no place to plug it in where it could blow air into the bedroom. When we arrived we decided to have a drink on the advertised terrace, the wasps notwithstanding. We were chastised by the hostess who advised us in no uncertain terms that this was NOT OUR TERRACE, even though it was directly outside our door. Our terrace was 30 meters up the hill and consisted of a wooden platform with a table and two chairs. The table was full of birdshit and had not been cleaned in at least two weeks. There was an ashtray full of cigarette and cigar butts. The gite itself was not as dirty as the terrace...but it was not clean either.
Another 20 meters up the hill was the pool. When we asked about renting or borrowing swim towels we were told by the host: "This is a cheap gite, not a fancy hotel".
We went to Limoux for dinner, found ourselves a very nice 5-room apartment about 200 feet from the center of town with more amenities than most rentals and a very charming host. We went back to sleep one night, which was most uncomfortable, and left the next morning.
We have generally had very good results with VRBO but our advice: AVOID THIS PLACE
