Wohlfühlhaus

Das Häuschen liegt idyllisch mitten im Ort. Trotz, dass Bahn und Autobahn Luftlinie keinen Kilometer entfernt sind hört man, wenn überhaupt, dann nur ein Rauschen. Die Glocken von Burg und Kirche hört man gut. Das war für uns aber angenehm. Die Burgruine direkt gegenüber ist so schön 😍 Was man in einem so kleinen Dorf natürlich auch oft hört sind Hunde. Aber auch das gehört für uns dazu. Zum Haus selbst: Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Die Schlafcouch ist nur etwas für fitte junge Leute. Unsere Kinder kamen zurecht. Dank mobiler Klimageräte bekommt man auch das fensterlose Kinderzimmer gekühlt. Da Capendu im Tal der Aude liegt geht dort aber auch immer Wind. Das Haus lässt sich gut quer lüften und damit über Nacht gut abkühlen. Mit den Läden lässt sich die Kälte dann über den Tag speichern und man freut sich nach einem der zahlreichen Ausflüge nach Carcassonne, ans Mittelmeer, in eine der Höhlen im Norden, nach Andorra, Toulouse, Narbonne, einer Wanderung bei Capendu ... ins kühle einladen Haus zurückzukehren. Herzlichen Dank, dass wir hier wohnen durften ❤️

Location atypique mais c'est ce qui fait son charme

location situé au point culminant du village de CAPENDU, tout en face de l'église actuel et ancienne typique des villages de l'Aude, difficile d'accès en voiture mais qui en fait son charme ! Bien située pour visiter la Région quoiqu'un peu loin de la mer. Un véritable lit ou un canapé lit digne de ce nom dans la pièce passante du haut serait une réelle plus-value ;-) ! Communication avec le gérant lointaine mais efficace.

Un très beau séjour !

Nous avons passé 3 très belles semaines à visiter la très belle Aude, des montagnes à la mer en passant par les sites historiques et naturels. La maison est confortable et vraiment pleine de charme, la petite rue très calme est une vraie zone de jeu pour les enfants. Les échanges avec la propriétaire et le gestionnaire en local ont été très agréables. Et les voisins sont très gentils !

Casa muy confortable.

Hemos estado de lujo, tanto mis hijos ( 8,12 y 14 años) , como mi pareja y yo. Muy bien decorada y muy bien equipada. Han sido unos días fríos y lluviosos donde después al visitar algunas ciudades y alguna excursión como Carcassonne, Narbonne, Lagrasse, Lastours... llegar a casa era todo un placer. Muchas gracias por todo. (Si tenemos ocasión repetiremos sin duda. Y por supuesto lo recomendaremos a los amigos.)

atypique,

Le genre de logement que l'on aime on qu'on déteste. Le logement est ancien et un peu fatigué, certains y verront du charme, d'autres maudiront ces volets impossibles à fermer. C'est au pied d'une église, qui sonne chaque heure, jour et nuit. On s'y fait rapidement...ou pas ! En ce qui nous concerne, nous avons préféré ce type de logement aux studios formatés des usines à vacances.

Nous sommes déçus quand à la propreté du lieu. Il nous a été demandé de retarder notre arrivé de 2 heures afin de désinfecter le logement suite au Covid-19. Le sol n'était pas lavé et la table pour les repas également. Il restait des cheveux dans l'évacuation de la douche. En contre partie l'emplacement de la location est idyllique.
