Villelongue Côté Jardins

Claude and Renée are truly friendly and attentive hosts and let us and our dog feel most welcome. It is a house with character with a beautiful garden, adjoining the monastery. During our three day stay mid of April, we enjoyed the special atmosphere of the place and enriching and pleasant conversations with the owners, it's a pleasure to listen to their stories!

What a delightful place to stay. The beds were comfortable, the shower excellent and the dinners quite special. We look forward to returning here in the future to continue our conversation with Claude and Renee.

I write on behalf of four of us who stayed for 2 nights earlier this month. We all enormously enjoyed our stay with the delightful sisters Renee and Claude . The rooms were spotless and very atmospheric with lovely period French furniture . The dinners were outstanding with fresh local produce beautifully presented and delicious. A pity we did not have more time to explore the area and enjoy the hospitality of the two ladies.

Wow! Amazing house, beautiful setting, fascinating area, glorious breakfasts & veggie food, huge bedroom, antique furniture, lovely shower room &, above all, 2 charming, generous, flexible, kind hosts whose local knowledge ensured great days out. Claude & Renee provide a very French experience. Their English is excellent and their knowledge highly enlightening. The house is a chateau adjoining abbey ruins and is a must for all history and/or food lovers. Their family of rescued dogs and cats is also enchanting. Don't miss this wonderful experience which combines past glories with all mod cons.

Travelling home from Spain through France - this was our second visit to sisters Renee & Claude. Highly recommend this B&B - an absolute pleasure. Once again we dined with the sisters - lovely meal, generous hosts, excellent company. Thank you ladies x

The two sisters could not have been more helpful, following on from my mistake in not realising how isolated this accommodation was, being 23 km from Carcassone, and 5km from the nearest town. They did all possible to make my stay a pleasant one, which it certainly was! A beautiful, tranquil, albeit somewhat isolated location. A big Thank you to the two sisters!

Wonderful place - sisters were kind, thoughtful, generous hosts - lovely ladies. Quite fascinating.

Simply delightful. We stayed on our way down to Spain, and again coming back. Wonderful, peaceful place and the sisters are such good hosts

We were delighted with our stay at Villelongue. The welcome was warm, the room charming, and the dinner and breakfast copious and of very high quality. It is ideally located for walks and exploring Cathar country. Highly recommended.

Villelongue was amazing. Special hosts - Claude and Renee who were very caring. Excellent food. We felt this was very special.

Renee and Claude were a very dear couple and provided marvelous food. One evening after supper Renee asked my wife if she would like some herb tea, to which she replied yes please. So out she trotted into the garden and came back with a handful of mint, parsley, sage and other herbs, shoved them into a cafetiere - and bingo, there was the genuine herb tea! Touches like that make these places special.

for ambience, welcome, regional blowouts, care (towels changed every day & copious hot water) & French experience - we MUST go back!
