Large farm gite in Cathar Country

Rental description

Come and admire the panoramic view of the Pyrenees which includes the Mediterranean Sea at Melissa and Gilad’s large farmhouse, located 400 metres (1300 ft) up in the high hills of Languedoc. Passed down the generations, the family farm has been in the caring hands of Melissa for 10 years. Together with family or friends, enjoy this old refurbished farm which can host up to 17 people in its 5 bedrooms with their own private bathrooms. The bright and well-equipped kitchen will enable you to cook your own dishes before taking them to eat to the large living-room next to the wood stove or to the shaded terrace – only a few steps away from a beautiful swimming pool!

Sustainability criteria

Committed, for instance, to banning any harmful products and to cultivating their almond tree groves without irrigation, Melissa and Gilad were awarded the “Accueil Paysan” label for their efforts. They prize authenticity in human interaction and the sharing of work values. Around the house, you will come across the many farm inhabitants in their enormous garden – hens, pigs and goats – and will surely see the horses at work, tending slowly but surely to 50 hectares of garrigue underbrush!
After their efforts, they are always happy to receive attention young and older travellers! The land, spreading on formerly abandoned terraces, produces organic fruit and vegetable, and you can even learn some gardening and harvesting skills.

The building is fragrant with the smells of table d’hôtes foods awaiting the guests. On the menu are cheese, meet, eggs, jams and garden fruit – everything home produced and cooked, of course!
