Sahorre

We had a wonderful 2-week stay at La Châtaignerie with its lovely pool and beautiful mountain views. We arrived as a big family group of 21 people and took over the whole place. It is ideal for a large family group and each of our individual families was able to have their own kitchen space and then come together downstairs or outside if we wanted to eat/spend time together (which we did often). There is a supermarket 5 minutes away which is very handy for any essentials and a few larger supermarkets a bit further. Lots of beautiful villages to visit, markets, vineyards, and lovely walks in the mountains, it is a lovely area. Caroline is a fantastic host, always ready to help when needed but not in any way intrusive. The local bakery delivered fresh bread/croissants every day which was something we all enjoyed as well as the Paella man who came one night to cook for us all. We all enjoyed our time here and came away with lots of lovely family memories. 

Wonderful mountain stay!

We stayed as a family of 20.  The place is well appointed with everything you could want. The owners live adjacent and cleaned the pool every morning, and were available on site to assist or answer questions as required. We had a delivery of fresh bread every day. Its a short walk to the village of Sahors for the butchers and a cafe, and a 5 minute drive to Vernet les Bains for restaurants, shops, petrol etc.  We loved our time here. The kids played in the pool in the day and played pool, boules, football, table football, games in the evening.  We ate outside every day (running the gauntlet of all the wasps and flies - but that is the drawback of being out in the country), but there are inside dining rooms too.   The rooms with their own little kitchen are good for those with small kids, but we did most of our cooking together and loved the fact that there was anything you could need including cocktail and cookery books to try.  The place is so large that it never feels crowded.  We headed out to farmers markets in the local villages and there was a music festival all week when we were there, so we spent a few evenings out listening to Jazz and local bands in the nearby villages.  Walkers will find that Canigou Mountain nearby would provide a challenge 8-10 hours and 2700m high, but there are many hill walks too (with laminated packs provided by the owners to try out). Plenty of Medievel abbeys, walled towns and churches within a short drive.  If you don't want to drive there are buses and bikes to hire.  I thoroughly recommend this place.

A beautiful place to spend some time with a large family.

Our family took the entire house for two weeks this Summer. Our experience at La Chataigneraie could not have been better from our first contact with Caroline and Bob to the last goodbye hug. This property is great for large groups and ideal for family gatherings. Not to mention the prompt personal attention to all our requests, the facilities in the house and the beautiful maintenance of the property. la Chataigneraie is a beautiful venue where it is possible to relax even with  small children around as there is lots to occupy them there. And, of course, it is located in a beautiful part of southern France with so much to see and do between the mountains and the sea  and further inland. Another legendary holiday for the family book! We were lucky to find you. Thank you Caroline and Bob

Memorable family holiday

This place is simply perfect. As a couple, family or friends everything is made to welcome you in the best conditions. A swimming pool, fitness room, very large living room, billiards and baby football, video library, children's games, nothing is missing except time to enjoy everything. Caroline and Bob are very hospitable and always ready to serve you. The gardens are maintained with great taste, it is possible to eat in the shade of the trees with a view of the mountains. Gas barbecue is available and a very good butchery is in the center of the village. Many hiking trails are accessible from this place. We have an excellent welcome, thank you again for your stay.

An Unforgettable Stay

Caroline and her husband welcomed us into the 'little cottage', their charming fully equipped duplex, with stunning views and direct access to the swimming pool. In addition to the welcome, our guests are with us in little care and always good advice. We couldn't test the guest table, sanitary measures are mandatory, but the corner is full of nice little restaurants. We highly recommend the Châtaigneraie!

Keep your eyes closed

We were in the small cottage, a small independent house with a very nice terrace, a well equipped kitchen and a spacious room. Perfect for 2 people. The common areas (pool, garden, TV-game lounge) are a plus. Everything is very friendly and clean. The property is in a very quiet place and well located to visit the surroundings.

That's perfect.

What a find. Winding roads up the hill and mountainside leads you to Sahorre, a quiet village in the Pyrenees. La Chataignerie is well located and great for families and friends. A great self- catering suite of rooms with supermarkets and shops down the hill. A lovely pool and outdoor area and plenty of places to relax with views of the mountains. Caroline could not have been more welcome and helpful. She certainly added value to the stay and living next door was extremely helpful for the odd crisis.
It’s clean and nicely laid out. This was a great location a short walk from the village where there is a local restaurant but more importantly a great wine cellar from which to purchase the local wines and cider. Just great.

Perfect Family wedding

Beautiful location, a great base from which to explore the region. Very clean, excellent breakfasts. Caroline and Bob are lovely hosts, friendly and knowledgeable about the locality, and made every effort to ensure our stay was relaxing. We will certainly be staying with them again.

La Chataigneraie

We took the whole house for a week with friends and family.  I don’t think we could have bettered the accommodation, location or amenities.  There is plenty of space to all be together, but also to have time to yourself.  The area is interesting with plenty to do and many of our party of 25 plan to return.  Caroline and Bob live on site, in a separate building, but this is a plus: they were on call when we needed them,  it otherwise unseen.  The advice and help we received prior to arriving, made everything go easily.  I cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent for large house party

This is most definitely the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. 

A lovely, spacious, well maintained property, set in sizeable grounds. The apartment on the first floor where we stayed was clean, spacious,bright, comfortable and well equipped. 

A beautiful, quiet, countryside  location, who could ever tire with looking out on the mountains with their ever changing colours through the day? A lovely pool to sit around in the sun and a large garden with fruit and nut trees to sit in in the evening and listen to the songs of the crickets and tree frogs. 

Caroline and Bob have literally thought of everything to make your stay a good one. From basic kitchen supplies such as salt, pepper, tea bags, washing up liquid, dish washing tablets, hand wash for clothes to a massive collection of books and DVDs, games and even an honesty bar with a variety of drinks and snacks. 

Plenty of tourist information and guide books and knowledgeable, helpful advice and suggestions from Caroline. 

Within easy reach of all the places you would want to visit, with pleasant walks from the property too. We had a hard time trying to fit in everything we wanted to do in this beautiful part of this region.

An easy 2 hour drive from Carcassonne airport with hassle free and excellent airport hire car service from Hertz means repeated visits are definitely on the cards in the future.
