Readers adore this place run by warm, generous sisters Renée and Claude. Stroll the wild gardens - follow a path into the lovely landscape

Read guest comments

Painters, poets, nature-lovers love this place, where history and romance combine. Dark 16th-century passages and uneven stone floors open into heavily beamed rooms sympathetically revived. Choose one of two big, simple bedrooms, authentic in their white cotton and old armoires, the more recent on the ground floor. Look out to the ancient trees of the park or the great courtyard and ruined Cistercian abbey. Sisters Renée and Claude, warm, knowledgeable, generous, were born here and provide convivial breakfasts and dinners. Wild gardens and duck ponds, lazy cats and lovely walks into the landscape.

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"Absolutely loved staying here. If you want peace and quiet and good conversation --French needed although Claude can speak English if pushed -- this is the place to go. And it is really convenient for Carcassonne. I was so pleased to discover I had no signal for my (French) mobile so no chance of anyone interrupting our stay. English mobiles did seem to work, however. Claude is a talented cook. Try to guess what she puts in her vinaigrette to make it taste so good and different! She and Renée are brilliant hosts."

"Another excellent find for Sawdays.A place full of character and characters in the shape of Renee and Claude who made us feel so welcome. Meals round the table were excellent but made me wish I had paid more attention to my French lessons all those years ago as there was a majority of French visitors.Thanks for all the fresh vegetables that are missing from all the restaurants in France."
