| Notes: | This is a large house, in unspoilt rural France, in the heart of wine-making country. It has been sympathetically restored, retaining tiled floors and oak beams in many rooms. Many of the bedrooms have antique French furniture. There is an interconnecting door on the first floor, which can be closed to create a separate 2 and 3 bedroom suite. The TV is connected to satellite for freeview channels. In the large garage are a table tennis table and dart board. The rear gardens with many fruit trees (help yourself!) lead to the River Aude. Large south facing terraces run along the front and side of the house, surrounding the private, solar heated pool, with tables, chairs, sunbeds and parasols, so you can eat (and drink) outdoors in peace and comfort. Drinks can be kept cold in the convenient pool house fridge. |

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and thought your villa is great (H R, August 2006).
We had a wonderful time, your house was all we expected and more and we were very happy (G H, July 2006).
We were delighted with La Favette – it’s a lovely house and the location was ideal for sightseeing Cathar country as well as the lovely beach at St Pierre sur Mer. The house was ideal for our two families and the facilities excellent. The children loved the pool, especially with the ample choice of pool toys. We were very impressed with the house information pack as we have been let down in this area before (S P, August 2007)
We had a wonderful holiday at La Favette. The house was superb and the pool area was big enough to accommodate all 10 of us very easily. The area was wonderful especially being so near to the canals (J C, August 2007)
We had a wonderful time at La Favette In all it was a lovely house to have a holiday in, and we would highly recommend it. (S C, August 2007)
