Photos and Description of this Auriac holiday farmhouse 6 Bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 10 people

This charming old farmhouse is hidden away in a valley of the unspoilt and breathtakingly beautiful haute Corbieres, far from the maddening crowds of summer. The large living room and kitchen both lead out onto the gravel covered terrace where you can contemplate the crystalline blue of the 11 metre pool contrasted with the vibrant green of the lush vegetation that surrounds it. The pool is bathed in glorious Mediterranean sunlight all day long which hinders the effort to tear yourself away to go and visit the glorious countryside drenched in Cathar history and mystique. Although the shops are a drive away the local baker insists on coming round to the doorstep every day in his van to offer his irresistible, mouth-watering pastries, oh and the bread's not bad either. The pool can also be enjoyed at night thanks to the lighting in and around it. The whole of the ground floor is split between the large living room and kitchen while the bedrooms are divided between the other 2 floors.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Auriac, France

House details: This 200 year old farmhouse was formerly divided into 2 flats and boasts 2 kitchens, although the upper one serves as a reception room as it is accessed by the main entrance and is not fully equipped. 2 of the bedrooms on the second floor are spacious and one of them has an area of 40 m² and could have additional beds to serve as a dormitory. The smaller bedroom on the first floor is ensuite and though the bathroom is small it is fully equipped. The bedroom with the king-sized bed is in a sort of annexe and is completely private, if desired it can be closed off from the rest of the house , it also leads out onto a terrace at first floor level, at the back of the house. If outdoor dining is not possible then the large kitchen table will easily accomadate everyone. The living room is also very spacious. The house retains its old world charm with a lot of original features.

Facilities: There is a TV and a PlayStation 2, with 1 console. There are over 10 games and over 120 films available as well . All the beds and electrical appliances are new and there is even an iron available. There are 7 outside lights and the pool also has underwater lighting which all help to maximise the al fresco experience. Bathroom towels are provided but not pool ones. The fenced garden is spacious while not massive, however there are 7 hectares of woodland attached to the property. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a 5 ring gas cooker, hand held blender , electric oven and more or less everything you'll need to conjure up spectacular dishes, except the chef.

Stay at La Rouviere

Les Turbots London
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This is a very charming house and quite private. Plenty of room for large families or a group or two. It really has all you could possibly need in terms of equipment and comfort. The pool is fantastic and the weather when we stayed was great, so much use was made of the outside area, garden, BBQ and pool. There is a generous vegetable garden with great tomatoes, cucumbers, beans etc. Would strongly suggest preordering bread, or a trip to the bakery (10mins drive), as it really is the last stop on the route and there is usually not much left when the van comes round. The local wines are very quaffable, the Blanquette and Cremant rather too so when well chilled. The well equipped family kitchen allows you to test your skills on the varied local gastronomic offerings.
It is a very friendly house, well laid out and condusive to serious relaxing!
Owner's Response: Thanks for taking the time to write a review, it is greatly appreciated. We're very glad that you enjoyed your stay as that is what we aim for. The bakery delivery service seems to get more popular every year and seems to arrive later every year. As you rightly point out pre-ordering is recommended (we mention this in the information pack at the house). Blanquette is actually the original sparkling wine and pre-dates champagne, it is very good and much cheaper than champagne. The vegetable garden is a feature we try to expand every year, it does get a bit overgrown during the rental periods as we can't attend to it but everyone seems to enjoy picking organic veg straight from the garden for their meals.

'I must say that you do not boast enough about your house! It is beautiful, and such a pleasure to stay in. The view whilst swimming in the pool was surreal and at times we felt like we were on a film set!' Robert and family.
'Thank you so much for such a beautiful holiday! Paula and the 9 plus inflatables.
