A real gem
Villa Rani is located in a beautiful and peaceful setting on the edge of a small village. It has a light and airy feel and is decorated, furnished and equipped to a very good standard. Having access to an immaculately maintained swimming pool is a further attraction. The garden around the villa has a natural feel and there are numerous places for sitting and outdoor eating. The friendly and helpful owner was there to welcome us on our arrival and, although ready to provide assistance if needed, left us to ourselves throughout our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Villa Rani and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Delightful Eco Property
Amazing ecological bungalow in its own well laid out gardens. Very spacious, plenty of room to move around in, well planned out. Plenty of cupboard space with hangers. Useful kitchen with fridge, oven with electric hob., microwave electric kettle and toaster etc. We slept well waking up to glorious weather, with only one wet day in four weeks. There is a E.Leclerc supermarket in Limoux which sells just about everything, just a few miles away. Our favourite town was the medieval town of Mirepoix with it’s magnificent Church. The scenery and views are stunning all around the Midi Pyrenees. We enjoyed a lovely relaxing holiday. The owners are great, living nearby and offered us their attention if needed.Thank you Jean Pierre and Basanti. John and Shirley

Rural and peaceful
Very quiet and peaceful. More rural than expected, it is a 20 minute drive to shops on narrow but pretty roads. Practical points - more cutlery and crockery is needed and the lovely pool is the otherside of the owners property. We enjoyed our stay.

Needs some TLC
Excellent location overlooking the village of Donazac. Nice to have seating and tables on 3 sides of the property and the pool area was a delight: clean, well-kept and spacious, even it was some 50 metres from the house and had to be accessed over a neglected area of garden with an uneven surface and some dangerous holes along the way. As for the outside area of the property and the kitchen, they looked loke they needed some tender loving care by the owners: weeds were growing through the gravel areas, plants were overgrown and obstructing the paths, one recliner chair near the house was torn, both recliners around the pool had seen better days. Being warned to be careful when sliding the door of a wardrobe in the hall because they might fall off is not reassuring!! The kitchen equipment and utensils looked like they had been randomly sourced from a charity shop/FRIP. Many were stained so our first job was to make sure they were clean by loading the dishwasher on our first night and wiping down the cupboard doors and worktops. In this age of COVID, surfaces that are sticky to touch provide no reassurance that they have been properly cleaned. There was no welcome-pack. Perhaps all small things but they are not up the the standard that we have come to expect of VRBO properties. The indications are there that more care and attention needs to be taken in maintaining the fabric and the cleanliness of this property.
