About this property

From 8. July to 25. August arrival and departure day is Saturday.

The pool is open from May to October 24h a day.

The Owners, David and Ariane, invite you to enjoy the charm of our Domaine du Moulin, which dates back to around 1800. The Domaine, its four Gîtes and the large heated swimming pool are located close to Limoux in a picturesque valley. Set in over two hectares (6 acres) of secluded grounds the Domaine enjoys splendid views of the medieval hill-top village of Roquetaillade and surrounding hills. Only 30 minutes from Carcassonne and its airport and about an hour from Toulouse, it is ideally placed to explore the Cathare castles, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean Sea and the most productive wine region in the world - or just relax by the swimming pool and take in the views.

The Bergerie was built of local stone over 200 years ago and has been lovingly transformed into a welcoming holiday home. From the main house, the Bergerie is situated about 30m further up the hill, separated by some trees.

The house comprises of one bedroom and an open-plan, split-level lounge and kitchen, shower room and private terrace.

The living room is furnished with a comfortable sofa, two chairs, a coffee table and reading lamps as well as TV and CD player.

The kitchen is fully equipped with table and chairs, gas hob/oven and dishwasher.

The shower room contains two basins, a toilet and a good size shower.

The kitchen patio door opens onto the private terrace which enjoys stunning views of our valley and overlooks the pool. The terrace is equipped with garden furniture and a gas BBQ for enhanced outdoor living "Mediterranean style".

Please note: Due to its position on a slope the Bergerie is not suitable for people with walking difficulties!

A peaceful location with good views down the valley

A good location, nice stone building, well equipped kitchen and good sized pool. We had a very enjoyable week visiting castles and medieval towns and villages.

Lovely countryside stay

The Bergerie is perfect for one person or cosy for two. Comfortable, with everything you need. Wild orchids in the lawn and lots of quiet. it would be a bit too cold any earlier in the year, but lovely over Spring and Summer. Ariana and Duncan are great hosts, friendly but private. It's a hike up the hill, so you don't want to be lugging up heavy baggage, but it just makes it more private.

A hidden gem!

A really cosy and well-equipped gite in a superb rural location yet just 10 minutes drive from the centre of Limoux. The gite was spotless and occupies an elevated position about 60 meters uphill from the main house with fantastic views up the valley to the village of Roquetaillade. David and Ariane were ideal hosts, friendly and helpful yet unobtrusive. This gite would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues but, as a couple in our late sixties, we had no problem at all and would certainly book again!

Lovely, relaxing, sunny holiday

We had a lovely holiday in the Bergerie. It suited us a couple. it is in a peaceful location and we often had the pool to ourselves. We were greeted by the owners,shown around and able to drive our car up to the property to unload on arrival and load before leaving. The owners were easy to contact and quick to resolve any queries or problems. The gas BBQ was a great and we often used this if we did not fancy the drive to a nearby village or to the nearest town of Limoux. (NB no shop or restaurant in walking distance) sitting on the patio at night the views are stunning and the night sky so clear we could star spot. The Bergerie has everything you need, the only things I would change is add a washing machine (instead of dishwasher) and have a larger Fridge. the bed was very comfortable, the shower powerful and the bathroom a good size with two sinks! The Town of Limoux is about 10-15 minutes away and has 3 or 4 supermarkets, shops, regular markets and places to eat. It is also famous for 'Blanquette' which is fizzy white wine, which is very easy to drink!. Lots of lovely wine to be tried and lots of different places to visit within an hour of the property eg Carcassone, Canal du Midi, Cathar Castles, walks, the coast, rivers, Beautiful villages, markets etc. There is plenty of information at the Bergerie and a good tourist information office in Limoux.

Limoux / Carcassonne area touring base.

A very nice little gite, one of 3 completely separate facilities on site in addition to the Duncan family home, and with a well-maintained shared swimming pool. Located in the hills to the west of Limoux (some 10 minutes drive) and ideally situated for exploring the wider Carcassonne / eastern foothills of the Pyrenees area - the Med is not too far away, either, via the autoroute. A car is required - the gite is well out into the country with no local shops within walking distance, so supplies were collected when returning from day trips. The Bergerie is as shown on the website - a delightful little haven for 2 with all necessary facilities and with a good standard of decoration (fitting the rural ambiance of the property). It is surrounded by hills and with a nice glimpse down the vally of mountains (snow-covered summits in mid-June) visible from the patio/veranda (whilst enjoying an evening bbq!). There are also nice walks, both in the grounds of the property and slightly further afield. Be warned that the property is 30-50m uphill from the car parking area: repeated carrying of luggage and food supplies up to the gite on arrival after a long hot drive was tiring - and I consider myself fit for mid-60s- and slightly less so on departure. But all-in-all a very nice base for a relaxing week's stay in mid-June spent, spent in a beautiful area with always lots to do and see.
