Green Horizons

This spacious three bedroom self-catering holiday home sleeps 6-8 and is ideal for families, couples or groups looking for a relaxing vacation or planning an activity break in the south of France. Weekly rates are between 400 and 500 euros.

The house is situated in a quiet street near the centre of town. It has three bedrooms, a double, family room and single, plus a lounge/diner, well-equipped separate kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher, and bathroom with shower. It also has a lovely sun terrace, and a pretty courtyard garden with a summer kitchen.

The house is just a couple of minutes' walk from restaurants, bars, shops, and an open air swimming pool. There is plenty of parking, a secure shed to store bicycles, and easy access to the one-euro trains and buses for Carcassonne and Perpignan. There are swimming lakes and hiking trails nearby.

Quillan is a lovely town on the River Aude, surrounded by mountains. There is a wide range of activities on the river in Summer, including rafting and kayaking. Quillan also hosts an international folklore festival, a jazz weekend, guitar festival - and the Tour de France passes through the area in most years (early July in 2013). If you want to explore the beautiful scenery and long historical heritage of the local area.

Quillan is a good base: medieval castles at Puivert, Montségur, Puylaurens and Queribus are not far away, and the mysterious sites of Rennes-le Chateau and the magic mountain of Bugarach are also close to Quillan. There are markets in Quillan twice and attractive market towns like Espéraza and Mirepoix are within easy reach. The sea near Perpignan is 50 minutes' drive from Quillan, or an easy trip by public transport, and the ski-resort towns of the Pyrenees are between 1 and 2 hours away.

The garden and terrace are fully enclosed and safe for children or well-behaved pets.
For larger groups or mobility-impaired guests, there is an additional ground-floor bedsitting room with ensuite bathroom and separate sun-terrace. This can be rented at an additional cost by prior arrangement. Short lets (minimum 3 nights) are available except in July and August, and we offer reduced rates for longer lets.
