“Les Citronniers” pool, views & secret gardens.

Book your "petite pause" at this unique and tranquil getaway. A 24 minute drive from Carcassonne or its airport, you will soon be on the main tree-lined avenue of this pretty village. Our sensitively restored, French village house is infused with the essence of the Minervois region. Settle into a lifestyle full of charm, with local wines, seasonal produce and plenty of history. Swim, relax, walk, cycle, explore amongst herb scented "garrigue" nature. We know you will love this place. The space From the old street the house looks deceptively small, but this is a home full of surprises. An elegant ambience with good sized rooms, and plenty of common areas. A place where everyone can find their quiet spot, including a cosy study. French doors open up from the kitchen to a romantic terrace, for breakfasts or evening drinks. From here you pass under a stone arch into a private mediterranean style garden with outside dining, herb garden and BBQ area under the shade of 3 large Cedar trees. Then through pretty wrought iron (safety) gates you will find the pool area set in yet another charming garden, with sun loungers and large corner sofa. Unique drystone walls define the 3 areas where you will spend your outside time. You are never far from a beautiful view, birdsong and depending on the season, the sound of the babbling river. NB! This property is NOT suited for children between the ages of 1 to 6. There are safety issues due to the river front drop and window heights. The property is very private, quiet and full of peaceful charm. Ideal for a family with children above the age of 6, or several friends in search of an effervescent break. We will consider well-behaved small dogs. Guest access You will have all of the house, pool and gardens to yourselves. NOTA BENE: As soon as you arrive and settle, we will come over to meet you and explain how to care for the pool. This is essential information due to the presence of our cedar trees. Please also note details below "Other Details" regarding daily care of the pool and eco-friendly gestures regarding water and electricity use. Other things to note Debris falls from our 3 cedar trees along the edge of the property. The price for their wonderful ambience and shade is that the plunge pool needs a little daily maintenance. This entails sifting the debris morning and evening, and ensuring the cover is on at night. We will show you how, to do this upon arrival. Due to the severe droughts of the last couple of years and the predicted forthcoming droughts, water is becoming scarce, precious and expensive. Please be responsible and help us keep the plunge pool as free from pollutants as possible, so that the next guests will find the pool inviting, and we wont have to waste water unnecessarily. We will explain and show you clearly how this is easily done upon arrival, please see note in Guest Access. The pool is chlorinated, so it is perfectly hygienic. We refer also to self-tanning oils or sun oils and creams that are hard to remove effectively. We thank you in advance for this consideration. Registration Details 95268515400017
