Charming and Secluded House in Le Caunil, Salvezines

The house offers a wonderful base for exploring this stunning area. It sits in a quiet hamlet a few minutes’ drive from the magnificent Château de Puilaurens, which is an ideal starting point to explore the mysteries of the medieval Cathars. There are many spectacular hikes in the area, including the Forêt d’en Malo trail from the hamlet, as well as several nearby gorges. There is also some of the best cycling and rafting anywhere in France.

Whether you crave peace, adventure, or creative inspiration, this is a spectacular spot in a less discovered part of France – a location to escape from it all and breathe deeply. Tastefully decorated with real character, the house has everything you need for a comfortable getaway.

The region offers excellent wines and there are plenty of good restaurants dotted around. An open-top tourist train, the Train Rouge, departs from nearby Axat. Further afield, the medieval fortress of Carcassonne and the beautiful Mediterranean town of Collioure both make for an easy day trip.

The Accommodation:

The house has a large main room with a high ceiling, a mezzanine, two bedrooms, and a shower room.

Outside is a breakfast terrace and a secluded garden with a gas barbecue, garden shower, and stunning mountain views. All three floors have direct access to the outside so you can fling open the doors and welcome the breeze. At 850m above sea level, it offers some respite from the summer heat, while a wood burner warms the house quickly in the cooler months.

The house is recommended for four guests, but there is an additional bed on the mezzanine for a fifth person.
