A large house in a village a short distance from Narbonne, just off the main street in a narrow dead end that is a bit awkward to get to (or from) with a car, but ultimately perfectly feasible. You have to park across the street at a short distance (maybe 100m), but there is ample space. Just watch as you cross on foot - the main street has lively traffic. You get a spacious old-fashioned room with equally spacious bathroom, a key to the side door to go in and out as you please, a generally rustic country decor throughout, a wonderful little garden with decorative fish in a little fountain and colourful and chatty lovebirds in a netted enclosure, and a cute little dog named Chou-Chou for company. Wifi works in both the room and the garden. The very welcoming hostess, Marie Pierre, recommended and kindly booked a very good local restaurant a few minutes' walk away along the main street, and in the morning prepared an excellent (typically French) breakfast. It may be a bit remote for a long term base, but for one night while driving around the country it beats staying in town.

Hosts Marie-Pierre and and Phillipe were wonderful. We used this place a a base for a number of day trips in the region and they always had helpful ideas, advice and recommendations. The breakfast each morning was great, freshly squeezed orange juice, home made croissants, jam and sweet breads, and of course coffee. Our room was large, comfortable, with a great bed, overlooking the sensational terraced garden and the pool - what a great place to wake up every morning. We were a bit concerned with the heat of the day and no AC that the room might get hot & stuffy. But with good windows and shutters it was no problem at all...it was cool and great for sleeping. Overall it was a really great stay and we'd happily stay there again when we return to the south of France

The only challenging bit was the parking. Like most small French towns, the lanes and alleys aren't really built to accommodate a lot of vehicles. The good news is that there's a new parking lot being constructed just up the road - which will solve a lot of the parking struggles in the town.

We were served every morning with a selection of breads, fruit, preserves, cheese, fresh juice. We also had some lovely pancakes and scrambled eggs. Our host was so helpful, nothing was a problem. The room was so beautiful looking out on the garden, we woke to the soft sounds of the fountain and birdsong. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

What a wonderful place to stay with all the comforts, advice on where to go for sights, wines and restaurants, and delicious breakfast (homemade juice, jams, lemon cake, and yoghurt as well as fresh croissants and baguette). Big comfortable bed, large airy rooms, and beautiful gardens with a plunge pool. Lovely hosts in Marie-Pierre & Phillipe, along with Lou-Lou, the attentive King Charles Spaniel. We will be back!

We were visiting friends nearby and this was the perfect base. Very welcoming hosts, huge and beautiful room with a view to the lovely garden. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was great - something different and extra every morning. If the weather had been better the garden would have been fantastic to spend time in - a little oasis in the village

no drawers for clothes only a wardrobe, would have preferred kettle in room for tea and coffee but both minor points

Nice old house with beautiful garden. Large room with windows to the garden hence very quiet. Breakfast was typical French (croissant, café) plus a bit such as self-made jam and brioche or cake. No problem to have lunch or dinner in the garden. A small selection of wines is available in the guests's fridge. Good location to explore the various places around. While there is no private parking on the premise there are plenty of options around.

There is a fountain in the garden and doves liked to pay it a visit at least twice a day. Nothing else really.

A warm welcome from the hosts with lots of suggestions for what to do in the area. Excellent breakfast with homemade jams and great selection of sweet or savory goods. spacious, well appointed bedroom and bathroom. Cute garden with dip in pool, perfect to colle off. Ideal location to explore the area, a short drive to Narbonne, the cost, Carcassonne, the wine route, etc

no A/C in the top floor bedroom

The house was lovely and the room was very large and comfortable. Marie Pierre and Philippe were genial hosts and looked after us well. The garden is just as lovely as in the photos and the aviary and fountain made for a most tranquil setting. We enjoyed our breakfasts,and loved the presence of Loulou, the resident Cavalier King Charles spaniel. All in all a delightful stay. We came to the area for a wedding in Paraza.

No complaints.

A lovely town house with very large clean and comfortable room. Great garden. Ideal location to explore Narbonne and Carcassonne. The breakfast was all homemade but poor for us because we don't eat yogurt and eggs, it should have more bread and jam.

The accommodation was wonderful, and our hosts could not have been more accommodating. The home made breakfast was exquisite.

Nothing - just loved it.
