“Wonderful, delightful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

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.

“Relaxing Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010

Once an old wine cellar, this beautifully renovated inn a few miles outside of Carcassonne, provided us with a relaxing and peaceful stay. Each room is named for a different grape variety which reflects the history of the facility. The peaceful nature of the inn can be attributed to the abundant use of the original stone, minimal clutter of furnishings, use of earthtones, and the presence of the blue water of the pool in the center of the courtyard. Hosts Gayle and Frederic and their adorable daughter Anais were perfect hosts. If you have a car, and are visiting Carcassonne, give this place a try. It's located about 15 minutes from the city; however, be aware that GPS may try to take you down one-way streets the wrong way in this little town.

“Friendly welcome, lovely spacious rooms, toasty fire”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2010

B&B as it should be .... and a bit more. Quiet, relaxing location in a little village 10mins from Carcassonne. Fantastic renovation - rooms are all huge and well thought out. Generous breakfasts at sensible times. Gayle and Fred (and family!) were incredibly welcoming hosts and always had time to give advice or have a chat. Thoroughly recommend it!

“Immaculate”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2010

3 weeks in france and this was the BEST accomodation of the trip. Everything about the place was 1st class....cost, cleanliness, atmosphere, hospitality and especially the toast and English breakfast tea for breaky ( after all the bad coffee and croissants). We arrived quite late in the evening and the English speaking hosts could not have been more accomodating. It was nice to be out of the city and yet close enough to go explore. Very peaceful, no traffic, bed was extremely comfy......I can't speak highly enough . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
