Modern, well equipped and immaculately clean. We arrived on a cold day in March and we were greeted by a warm log fire which was very welcome. The view is spectacular and it is the perfect base from which to explore the area. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hartmut K. 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Just an apartment - not a cottage as advertised Overall, the stay was okay; the owners are friendly and helpful. Our expectation (according to the ad: "cottage") was a private house, but in reality, it's just an apartment. Since the apartment above us was occupied by early-rising workers, we missed privacy and peace. In the summer heat and direct sunlight from the afternoon onward, it's almost unbearable both inside and on the terrace without the lack of sun protection. Real sun protection, such as a large parasol and shutters on the terrace window, would be very welcome. Therefore, the apartment heats up considerably in the evenings without sun protection.The steep and bumpy driveway can be challenging (depending on your vehicle).The photos, especially those of the pool, do not convey the actual size. ##### Hartmut K.

L’accès à la maison est malaisé avec un escalier mal entretenu et pouvant même être dangereux à la descente . ##### Geneviève B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike P. 25 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic summer break Wonderful property in beautiful location - thank you Ursula for a lovely stay ##### Mike P.

Habitation très fonctionnelle juste il manquait un peu d'entretien (herbes hautes) pour l'escalier pittoresque d'accès à la maison ##### FOUET S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Galleb R., Netherlands 8 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### One of the greatest relaxing and beautiful vaction we have had in the recent years We have spent a great vacation at Ursula's home. She was a great host. As she is living with her lovely family a husband and 2 nice kids on the back of the vacation apartment. You don't see them or hear them around at all. But when you need them, they are promptly just there to help you. The house is new and modern built on a top of small hill, one neighboring house afront of it. it is situated between pine trees and a wild bush. We had a great panoramic view of the quiet and authentic Durban village from the terrace and during swimming too. The supermarket /tank station/pharmacy/restaurant were just 250 meters from our place. The area where Durba Corbières is situated is full of history, lots of castles, very beautiful old villages and cities all in less than an hour driving to reach. The coast / beaches are very close too, it can be reached in 30-45 minutes. We recommend you visiting Carcassonne / Beziers / Perpignan/ Minerva. Durba Corbières is close to the Spanish border. Barcelona was 2.5 hours driving from there. We have even decided to visit Barcelona for 3 days after our fantastic stay at Ursula’s place. ##### Galleb R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROXANE B. 24 Aug 2018 #### superbe maison et l'accueil très agreable Maison avec tout le confort, décoration très soignée, pleins d'endroits à visiter . Les propriétaires sont adorables Merci encore ##### ROXANE B. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert J. 1 Aug 2018 #### A beautiful house in the lovely town of Durban Corbières. This was our third holiday in Durban Corbières and it was great to find such a beautiful new house only a few hundred meters from heart of the town. Over looking the village, the house is beautiful with everything you need for a lovely relaxing holiday in the sun. It’s setting is ideal, offering easy access to the local bar/restaurant, supermarket and shops with the countryside, vine yards and forrest walks on the doorstep. Only a short drive (30 - 45 mins) to some beautiful beaches, the cities of Carcassonne and Narbonne, Durban Corbières is the ideal location for a holiday at any time of the year. Ursula, her family and neighbours are lovely people and made us feel very welcome. ##### Robert J. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeremy S., Germany 23 Jul 2018 #### Modern, clean and well thought t accomodation. The property is new and modern. The gite is just an apartment on one floor, not the whole house. The owners live next door. Very friendly and supportive owners. The property is new, modern, well-designed and generally appealing. It is at the top of a steep hill which would be difficult to climb for older tenants. The walk into the sleepy but friendly village is ok. A walk around the backside of the hill the house is built on is also nice. Good property, nice but pool smaller than expected and not particularly cheap. ##### Jeremy S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rainer W. 27 May 2018 #### Design-Wohnung im Languedoc Eine außergewöhnliche wunderschöne Wohnung, geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit neuen komfortablen Möbeln. In der Küche sind alle notwendigen Utensilien vorhanden, die Schlafzimmer haben einen ansprechenden, individuellen Touch. Der Außenbereich mit Swimmingpool lädt zum Lesen und Ausspannen ein. Wir haben alles so vorgefunden wie beschrieben und unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Der Kontakt zur freundlichen Vermieterin per E-Mail, SMS bzw. persönlich war problemlos. Die Wohnung ist absolut empfehlenswert! ##### Rainer W.

Très bon accueil d’Ursula. Nous recommandons ce lieu de vacances ##### Michèle B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacques T. 6 Apr 2018 #### Printemps 2018 - Nid d'aigle entre vigne et forêt Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Ursula. Notre hôte et son mari étaient présents à notre arrivée et nous ont très aimablement aidé à décharger nos bagages à cause de la pluie qui avait rendu la pente glissante. Le logement possède une terrasse où la vue est remarquable. Il est très confortable, neuf, propre et tel que décrit sur les photos, rien ne manque, Ursula y veille. Le seul bémol est qu'il faut monter plusieurs escaliers pentus avant d'atteindre la terrasse. Il n'y a pas d'accès direct plat. A partir de ce logement nous avons circulé facilement dans toute la région, de Collioure aux châteaux cathares, de Narbonne à la cathédrale de Maguelone... ##### Jacques T.

Ursula aussi prévenante qu'accueillante avait déjà allumé le poêle à bois avant notre arrivée pour que l'on se sente au mieux. Nous remercions encore Ursula pour sa gentillesse, et son accueil. Nous sommes réellement ravi de notre weekend ! Merci encore pour tout :) Je me répète mais nous avons beaucoup apprécié les échanges avec Urusla avant notre arrivée et son accueil :) Ps : il y a une petit super U très proche mais n'hésitez pas à faire quelques courses avant votre arrivée si vous aimez des produits en particulier :) ##### Francois C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hôtel De Bastard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lectoure-Hotels-Hotel-De-Bastard.h5020884.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Toulouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toulouse-Hotels-Pullman-Toulouse-Airport.h15391.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Solitude](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-La-Solitude.h1367369.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Beau Site](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-Beau-Site.h860534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel ALBA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-ALBA.h860535.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Padoue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-Padoue.h2543215.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel SOCLO](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toulouse-Hotels-SOCLO.h71085831.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping Le Pin Parasol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beziers-Hotels-Camping-Le-Pin-Parasol.h25789623.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Le Donjon - Coeur de la Cité Médiévale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Donjon-Coeur-De-La-Cite-Medievale.h14845.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Port Marine - Sète](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montpellier-Hotels-Hotel-Port-Marine-Sete.h1584237.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Montmorency](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Hotel-Montmorency.h4322726.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe Carcassonne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Tribe-Carcassonne.h558308.Hotel-Information) > > [Whaka Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seissan-Hotels-Whaka-Lodge.h60366351.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Boudoir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lectoure-Hotels-Le-Boudoir.h26785263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Roissy Lourdes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-Roissy-Lourdes.h901141.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-Mediterranee.h788412.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping de Pujol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Argeles-Sur-Mer-Hotels-CAMPING-DE-PUJOL.h51650728.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Pressoir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Chinian-Hotels-Le-Pressoir.h4801090.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Carcassonne la Cite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Mercure-Carcassonne-La-Cite-Hotel.h459.Hotel-Information) > > [ZeroNeuf B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaudies-Hotels-ZeroNeuf-BB.h33313001.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Oceania Le Métropole Montpellier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montpellier-Hotels-Hotel-Oceania-Le-Metropole-Montpellier.h25884.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa 5* Gard | Heated Pool, Absolute Peace, Private Garden - La Cèzenole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mejannes-Le-Clap-Hotels-Villa-4-Heated-Pool-Holiday-Home-In-Gard.h18954635.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Eliseo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-Eliseo.h1289209.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel de la Cité Carcassonne - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Hotel-De-La-Cite-Carcassonne-MGallery-Collection.h438449.Hotel-Information) > > [Plaza Hotel Capitole Toulouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toulouse-Hotels-Plaza-Hotel-Capitole-Toulouse.h23552.Hotel-Information) > > [SOWELL HÔTELS Les Chevaliers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-SOWELL-HOTELS-Les-Chevaliers.h21722825.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Toulouse Centre Compans Caffarelli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toulouse-Hotels-Novotel-Toulouse-Centre-Compans-Caffarelli.h1601.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Castigno - Wine hotel & resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Assignan-Hotels-Village-Castigno-Wine-Hotel-Resort.h25039077.Hotel-Information) > > [SOWELL COLLECTION Hôtel du Roi & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-HAtel-Du-Roi-By-Sowell.h48805980.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden & City Cauterets Balneo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cauterets-Hotels-Garden-City-Cauterets-Balneo.h1237273.Hotel-Information)
