La Favette was an ideal house for us- a group of friends. We had a wonderful week of relaxing by the pool, going for walks, eating outside on the terrace and enjoying the weather. We ended up not straying far from the house as the local town had all that we needed to enjoy the holiday. Would love to return to this house as it provided a perfect space for us to enjoy the weather and the peaceful setting. A very memorable and happy holiday for us all!!

La Favette was a great place for our two-week family get-together, housing ten people with ease. The setting among the vineyards was peaceful and quiet, an ideal place to spend many hours fraternising by the pool. There are lots of interesting places to visit within easy distance, Carcassonne with its walled medieval city, Narbonne has Roman ruins and museum, markets, a wonderful food hall, Cathedral( we were lucky to be able to attend a concert there). Celebrations for Bastille Day included a band and dancing outdoors in the Square. Most of our party enjoyed the 2km walk to Coursan, slightly longer if you take the walk along the levee by the river. Most services are available in Coursan. Mark and Julie were extremely helpful and have a good knowledge of the surrounding area . Jim and Gwen Australia PS Bicycles need to be updated.

We had a wonderful holiday! The property fitted the description perfectly. It was clean and ready on our arrival. Mark and Julie were very helpful during our stay and very nice to work with. All our communications with the owner were easy and clear. The position of the house is fabulous among the vines and quiet but easy to get to interesting places and Super U. We spent lots of time just chilling and enjoying the pool but we did visit Carcassonne,, Gurissan, Abbaye Fontfroide and Narbonne and the beach. All good. There was much more that we could have done if we had wanted. We would definitely recommend La Favette and we should add that our two small dogs also loved it!

La Favette is a wonderfully restored farmhouse on a beautiful, quiet terrain with an expansive yard and lovely outdoor pool. The web site pictures are quite accurate; their only fault is that they do not do justice to the impressive landscaping around the pool area! My family and I were able to really unwind here, while taking the occasional day trip ( i.e. wine tasting, visits to local markets, exploring Cathar castles) around Languedoc. Thanks to our long stay (more than two weeks), the property began to feel like a second home – and one we very much look forward to returning to in the future! The house custodians, Julie and Mark, were very welcoming and very helpful with amenity requests and travel and dining suggestions. All in all, a wonderful holiday!

Five of us (4 adults & 1 child) enjoyed 10 days of peace and bliss in wonderful surroundings. The property was spacious, clean and very well equipped. Julie and Mark were most welcoming and helpful. Our greatest difficulty was making ourselves leave the property to go anywhere! We hope to visit again. Mc L. Ireland

I really would like to say how absolutely horrible the place was- to avoid others booking - but I can't because this home is a simply a small slice of heaven in the middle of a French sun soaked vineyard.The house and the facilities were the best. The house was clean and very well equipped. The couple who were the local agents were fantastic- welcoming and helpful and they maintained the property with skill and care.The joy of this home is its privacy and setting yet near to many wonderful sites to visit and long sun soaked beaches- and the local beers and wines were - well simply well tested!A local pizza restaurant - Chez Pierre - will be re-visited next year (booking already made!!!) - and the local Super U provided all we needed. The pool the gardens and the house provided all 8 of us with a great holiday-30+ degrees helped a wonderful tan to develop .This was the best holiday experience our two families have shared over many years! Thank you!

We stayed here for a week in August and had a wonderful time, I can thoroughly recommend this house! The house itself is lovely set in a peaceful, but not remote location, the vineyard views are fantastic. Our kids (4 and 7) loved the pool and pool toys, the table tennis table and pool table – lots to entertain them. We used the bikes at the house for some peaceful rides through the vineyards and along the river. The house is well located for Carcassonne and the coast, we got everywhere we wanted to go in about 30 mins. Coursan is not the most picturesque town, but it has everything you would need, supermarkets etc…. Finally, the service provided by the owner before and after the stay was fantastic – he was very accommodating and helpful. All in all, it’s hard to find fault in this house.

We have just come back from a wonderful couple of weeks at La Favette. With 8 adults and 2 children, we found that there was plenty of room to accommodate us all (both inside and out). The house was extremely well-equipped with more kitchen utensils that you could ever need and the children loved all of the pool toys that had been left (the adults did too)!! The pool was brilliant with lots of space for sunbathing. It was also great for the children (aged 3 and 5) as there were large steps at one end of the pool for them to stand whilst partially submerged. Sitting eating and drinking watching the sun set over the vines will be a very fond memory for years to come. There is not a great deal to see and do in Coursan although the location does allow easy access to the beaches, in and around Narbonne, all of which we found to be excellent. I would definitely recommend La Favette to others. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

We've just got back from an absolutely fantastic holiday at this Villa in Coursan, the Villa is Superbly located in the middle of Vineyards and beautiful surrounding countyside. Our party comprised of 6 adults and 4 young children which the villa easily accomodated. The Villa has every amenity you could want including a 3 fridges with one in the pool house, every cooking utensil you could want, UK satellite channels, DVD, Snooker table various games to keep children occupied if the weather should turn for the worse. The Villa itself is secluded and surrounded by Vineyards, there is a flood dam with a path further to the rear that has an excellent walk approx 2km following the river. In Coursan we would highly recommend visiting the local Winemakes you can sample various wines and buy direct from between 1 EURO and 1.55 EURO a litre! and it is excellent!. The Villa itselt is split accross various levels so it's excellent for mixed parties two of the main rooms have very modern nice en-suite shower rooms with the third having a very large ground floor wet room, the lounge is very large with a large dining table for evening entertaining. At the front there is a nice patio area with a large parisol to spend the evening looking over the vineyards, to the side of the property is the pool which we frequently used with a pool house, the pool has automatic skimmers to keep clean and nets etc so you can remove anything that might drop in. The propety also has a garage with table tennis table, darts board, large number of assorted bikes for use. Locally around the property is the town of Coursan which is small very beautiful with a Super U (This is good) and Lidl (Which is Rubbish!) If you drive 4 miles into Narbonne and follow the signs to the Narbonne Plage you will find Carefor's this is huge very cheap and has everything you could want from food, to toys, clothing all good quality, Narbonne is good but St Pierre beach is superb and very highly recommended, Carsacanne is defintily worth a visit (48miles) and if you head to the Castle it has a medievil city inside selling and wide range of souveniers. SETE (44miles) is also another excellent place to visit very beautiful on the coast with an excellent town. Narbonne is also good just head to "CENTRE VILLE" and you see the car park signs park in Halles and walk to the castle and you'll be right in the town entre. Overll this Villa is Fantastic / Excellent / Superb! you'll have a great time - we miss it already!

Recently returned from a very relaxing 11 day stay with friends at La Favette. The house was exactly as described and the service provided by the owner both prior and after our return was first class. The house is well looked after and its position at the end of the lane with the vines coming up to the door and the river aude to the rear means it was totally secluded and the ideal location for a total getaway break. The services in the local village of Coursan were perfect for our everyday needs and the welcome and service at Le Petit Croix was just terrific for morning coffee and evening meals. We did not travel around too much but did visit Carcassonne which was a bit disney for our tastes - best tip is to arrive early before the tourist coaches arrive. We also crossed the border to visit the Salvador Dali museum in Figures and Port Lligat which was an easy drive. The highlight for us was the day they came to pick the grapes ! All in All I would recommend La Favette either to families or a group of friends who want to chill in comfortable surroundings away from the crowds.

We are seasoned holiday renters across France and Spain and this has to be one of the very best houses we have ever stayed at. The property itself is charming and beautifully situated in the French countryside without feeling at all isolated. The kitchen is perfect for self-catering and the bedrooms and en-suites are very comfortable. There are more fridges and freezers than you will ever need and that cuts down on how often you need to head to the shops to restock. The pool area is relaxing and the children spent hours splashing around each day when they were not riding the bikes or playing snooker or having a table tennis match. Mike was a great help on one occasion when our French was not good enough to talk to some workmen nearby and he was a great source of knowledge about the local area. A tremendous holiday and there is nothing negative I can say about the property. We will certainly try and re-book if we come this way again.

My wife and I spent a lovely week in this very quiet villa which is about two miles from the local village of Coursan. When we arrived we were met by a very nice English gentleman (Mike) who showed us around the villa and instructed us on where to find every thing.There was a welcome pack which was much appreciated. It was late in the holiday season and this may be the reason why the interior of the house looked a little tired but comfortable. Lovely views overlooking the vineyards from our bedroom window. There were a large selection of bikes in the large garage along with a dart board and table tennis equipment. I enjoyed going for a ride early in the morning along the path that ran for miles alongside the river and vineyards. The weather was hot and sunny which made the swimming pool and loungers on the large terrace very inviting. All in all a very enjoyable holiday the villa more suited to a larger group of people than a couple.

Fantastic villa - really spacious, well equipped, well maintained comfortable living areas and bedrooms. Lovely modern kitchen and fabulous downstairs wet room. The swimming pool is great, a good, decent size and depth and with generous sun bathing terraces. Overall a thoroughly relaxing location, pleasantly remote - but close enough to amenities for food shopping, fresh bread (and pizza)! Lovely outside setting for meals under the parasol in some welcome shade. Views over the vineyards to the Pyrenees in the distance were truly delightful in the evening, with a box of the local wine. All this recalling has reminded us of what we're missing! Still, there's always next year. Highly, highly recommended.

The title says it all , this holiday was simply the best weve had as a family. The house is amazing with lots of room inside and out. Everything you need is there which makes for a very comfortable time and the pool area is great to chil around and i promise you the kids will love it. There is a music system with speakers built in around the pool area and we spent a lot of time just chilling with music playing ( its quite remote so no neighbours to annoy , so great ) and messing about in pool etc. We dragged the b b q round to the pool and also the table tennis table . The house is set down a long rural lane and is totally on its own - but is within the little town of coursan which is fine to nip to for any bits you need shopping wise as there are 2 supermarkets . We found we were quite well located for trips out and about sight seeing etc - with good roads all around and found quite a lot to do within 1-2 hour drives. We flew to montpellier airport and found the house very easy to find which only took 1 hour . I could go on and on about how great this house is and how nice the area is but if you book up and visit you will appreciate how good it is for yourselves and im sure you will have a fantastic holiday.
