Our area
Cool off in the swimming lake at nearby Pradelles, or relax beneath the trees which surround it. Just 2km away is the village of Roquefère where you will find Sire de Cabarèt restaurant, which offers excellent cuisine using local ingredients. Our local town is Carcassonne, where you will find the UNESCO World Heritage site La Cité de Carcassonne. A little over an hour by car are Mediterranean beaches - we recommend La Franqui.

We had a great time at Ben's place which is true to the listing. The accommodation is very clean and the host is friendly and welcoming. The village is a lovely peaceful and quiet place. Ideal for hikers and people looking for rest. We would recommend this listing 100%.

We had a pleasant weekend in the cottage offered by Ben. If you are looking for a quiet place to disconnect, with many walks and hikes nearby, I recommend this place without a second thought.

Loved the place and the surroundings. Perfect for writing my book. Also perfect for anyone who wants to be fully immersed in nature and enjoy a peaceful time in a beautiful village.

We were lodged for two days and it was amazing. Ben was super friendly always and gave very clear directions and offered us many amenities. I definitely recommend it 100% and would repeat the stay with him again. The village is super quiet and beautiful and if you want to disconnect it is 100.

Probably one of our favorite stays and hosts so far on our France road trip. Ben’s place was so cozy and situated in a beautiful village/commune in the mountains. Ben was always responsive and very friendly. I hope to be back again soon. Thank you Ben.

Amazing house. Probably one of the best places I've been in considering the price. The house is in a beautiful little town surrounded by greenery, very clean and cozy. Ben was an amazing host as well. He explained everything clearly and was always friendly and ready to help. At one point we were missing something and he turned up in 5 minutes to help us. Felt very welcome, thank you Ben.
