But it’s still highly original with stone and wood stairs and features such as an amazing old stone sink in the kitchen. The garden is private and it was lovely sitting out in the roofed area which protected us from both the sun and rain! Thank you to Alain who provided a warm welcome when we arrived. We loved the area. The house is located midway between Limoux for wine tasting and Mirepoix for the fabulous Monday market. We also went to Carcassonne which we thought was a bit too ‘Disney ‘. We much preferred Montsegur and Peyrepertuse A highlight was walking up St Barthelemy. An interesting house to stay in and a lovely area with lots to see and do ##### Kay L.

Met veel liefde en met een verbazingwekkend oog voor detail hebben ze het omgetoverd tot een sfeervolle woning, waar het leven van vroeger doorheen schemert maar waar alles gericht is op gezelligheid en sfeer. Er is geen hoekje of er werd over nagedacht bij het restaureren. Overal vind je gezellig plaatsjes met authentieke voorwerpen. Het is gewoonweg wonderbaarlijk hoe dit huis weer tot leven is gekomen. We hebben ons vaak de bedenking gemaakt dat dit een werk van pure liefde is. We hebben dan ook enkele heerlijke weken doorgebracht in dit huis vol verhalen, meer nog, we hebben ons verblijf zelfs verlengd! In het dorp wonen er vriendelijke mensen, die spontaan een praatje beginnen. Het zijn veelal oudere mensen, en het is niet altijd makkelijk om hen te verstaan. Maar dat draagt bij aan de sfeer, en vriendelijkheid kent geen taal. Kortom: Courtauly en dit huis staan voor eeuwig in ons hart gegrift. ##### Marcel C.

L’accueil d’Alain parfait... décontracté, il vous met à l’aise d’emblée et vous fait découvrir cette vielle bâtisse pleine de charme. L’endroit se veut rustique au bon sens du terme mais il ne manque absolument rien. Petits déjeuners et dîners pris tous les soirs sous l’auvent de la cour intérieure; il y fait bon et on y prolonge la soirée avec un verre de vin blanc bien frais jusqu’à ce que les heures de randonnées de la journée vous rappellent qu’il est temps d’aller dormir. La grande chambre est très agréable, la literie est bonne. La salle de douche attenante est également bien agréable . Les villes alentour méritent une visite: Mirepoix et son marché du lundi à ne pas manquer, Limoux, Fonjeaux.... Bref séjour 5 étoiles!!!! ##### xavier P.

The owner, Marc, was incredibly helpful, sending us lots of information about the area before we arrived, and we were given a warm welcome by the keyholder, Alain (who speaks excellent English). Many long evenings were spent outside on the terrace watching swallows and house martins, and we especially enjoyed visiting the local towns of Mirepoix and Limoux, exploring the many châteaux in the area and bathing in nearby lakes. A most memorable holiday - thank you! ##### Sarah L. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 24 Apr 2015 #### Really relaxed four days in the sun! My husband and I had spent some time in the area a few years ago and loved it and so got drawn back. We couldn't have been happier to come back with two of our children, visiting the market town of Mirepoix is a treat, bicyling and walking in the beautiful surroundings was heavenly. Alain and Marc's father were both very helpful when something was needed and we loved the atmosphere of the house. We would come back again! Thank you.

Oui, nous avons passé de belles vacances à Courtauly dans cette belle demeure de caractère . La maison est spacieuse, rénovée avec goût et confortable. Il était agréable de se prélasser dans le petit jardin au soleil ou de diner le soir sous l'auvent autour d'une bonne bouteille de Malepère après une randonnée ou une visite dans une région si diverse. Malgré son emplacement au centre du (si petit...) village, l'endroit est calme et reposant. Nous conseillons vivement à tous d'y séjourner en couple, en famille ou entre amis afin de se ressourcer, de profiter de la nature ou , entre l'Aude et l'Arège, le Razès et les Corbières, de visiter une région vraiment envoûtante. Surtout, faites un tour aux "papillons d'Amarante" au col del Teil vers Lavelanet, cela vaut le détour!!; mais il y a plein d'autres lieux à découvrir entre châteaux, villages, musées, lacs,sentiers vivifiant, endroits mystérieux... Nous vous souhaitons à vous aussi de belles vacances... Jacques et Jean - Paul de Toulouse ##### Jean-Paul C.
