It was all pretty much perfect - the icing on the cake would be another little bar/ cafe/ restaurant in the area to add some variety/ provide somewhere else to eat when the tabac is shut.The weather was very, very hot but the plunge pool provided great relief, and Catherine and Thierry were in hand when we needed some assistance. Providing a welcoming bottle of wine and some home made apricot jam! All in all we couldn’t fault it and there were some lovely villages/ towns/ cities to visit fairly close by! A real treat!

EVERYTHING PERFECT!

We stayed for one week in this lovely spacious house which had everything we needed for a perfect short break. Take care on the stairs! The property was clean, well equipped (kitchen, bathroom). There are numerous rooms with dining areas which was great. Outside there is a nice plunge pool (we did not take a dip though, water not quite warm enough for us in mid-September!) and there is good space for a BBQ. There is a small shop a few minutes walk away (open morning and later afternoon when we were there), a bar also a few minutes walk away. A car is needed if you want to explore other areas and parking is available right outside the blue gates (best to reverse along the narrow passage). Everything was great and the house was exactly as advertised. Many thanks Thierry and Catherine.

Lovely stay and area

Great place with plenty of space for our family of four. Had everything we needed and the pool was a welcome treat in the heat wave. Wonderful location for exploring the area and great bakery’s in nearby Olonzac. We would love to stay there again!

Full of character, tranquil and perfect for families

Could not have been more impressed. You really get so much for your money in terms of a lovely village enveloped by vineyards, a pretty and child-safe garden, and a spacious house that is clean and incredibly well stocked with all that you could need. The dining spaces and facilities lend themselves well to great food and great experiences; there is a barbecue, a griddle, a hot plate and an oven, and there are four or so places to dine that let you make the best of the conditions at the time. The surrounding area is very scenic and civilisation and the coast are but a short drive away. I was drawn there by the pictures but the reality is much better. Graham, Laura and Alexandra

If I could award 6 stars I would. The house was lovely , clean and welcoming.

Absolutely gorgeous. Couldn't really find any fault. Tucked away in a quiet impasse in the old chateau of cesseras, it looks so quaint but it contains everything you could ever need in a holiday home. Nothing much in the small village except le petit cause, the small local run by fellow northerner , Colin, who made us feel very welcome, as did all the locals in the village. Fantastic holiday , meeting some fantastic people and exploring the countryside, absolutely beautiful. If I had to find a fault it would be that all the info in the house is in French, which neither my friend or I speak, about time we learnt!! Could really do with a household manual in English. But think we got it all sorted, eventually. Worth 5 stars . Well done Thierry for such a gorgeous house.

Superbe maison de village au calme

La maison au portail bleu est superbe. Le logement est d’une propreté impeccable. L’accueil est tres sympathique avec beaucoup de conseils de visite. Le village de Cesseras est très calme et très bien situé : nous avons pu visiter Minerve, Carcassonne, Narbonne, les châteaux de Lastours, l’abbaye de FontFroide, etc. Le logement est tres bien équipé et magnifiquement décoré. L’espace extérieur est tres agréable même au printemps avec des températures fraîches. La chambre des enfants est tres bien pensée avec deux espaces séparés par un paravent, idéal pour des ados. La communication avec les propriétaires est très facile. En bref, nous avons passé un excellent séjour tres reposant et dépaysant dans la maison. Encore merci à Catherine, Thierry et Florence pour leur accueil.

Un pur bonheur

Il faudrait un long texte pour exprimer le plaisir que procure ce logis. Les images rendent bien l'atmosphère de la propriété auquel s'ajoute le calme du matin, la lumière du soir, le caractère privé du jardin, le confort général. Et le village est plus que charmant bien que sans trop de services, ce qui accentue la tranquillité exceptionnelle qui y règne. Les proprios répondent rapidement à la moindre question. Ce lieu a dépassé mes attentes de 200%. Je le recommande fortement.

Wundervoller Urlaub!

Wir haben die Zeit in Cesseras sehr genossen! Das Haus ließ keine Wünsche offen, es war sehr schön eingerichtet und es fehlte uns an nichts! Besonders zu erwähnen ist die tolle Ausstattung an Handtüchern, Bettwäsche, Decken, Geschirr und Küchengeräten (so gab es zB drei verschiedene Kaffeemaschinen). Auch war für alles gesorgt, was haushaltstechnisch so anfällt (Müllsäcke, Geschirrspültabs, Waschpulver, Gewürze etc). Bei unserer Ankunft erwartete uns ein toller Obst-/Gemüsekorb und eine Flasche Wein, was uns sehr erfreut hat! Die Gastgeber kümmerten sich rührend und waren immer erreichbar für unsere Fragen. Wir empfehlen dieses Haus zu 100% weiter und kommen gerne noch einmal wieder!
