Frederick and Gayle have turned an old wine cellar into an amazing place to stay. From the gorgeous Italian tile floors to the entryway skylight, there is thoughtful design and detail. Our room had twin beds with comforters, separate tub and shower, and separate toilet room. French lace curtains at the window. Other guests were next door, but you could not hear them. Breakfast served in dining room: fresh pastries, jams, fruit, yogurt, tea/coffee, etc. Swimming pool and lounge chairs. Huge living room with fireplace. Tiny village of Ventenac is quiet and laid-back. Sights nearby include the ancient walled city of Carcassonne (a must see) and the castle at Saissac. We were sorry we couldn't stay longer. The hosts are friendly and warm and very helpful with directions and arrangements such as dinner at a nearby chateau. Both speak English. We hope we can go back some day soon.
