What Wendy thinks
We first visited Caroline and David back in 2008 and since then our initial impressions have been confirmed by dozens of happy families who have enjoyed the peace and simplicity of time spent with their families here. It is a tranquil location set amongst rolling fields and lush countryside - real rural France. The owners will unobtrusively look after your every need whilst your children run around safely in the gardens - this is a lovely place to come and relax with your family.
La Lavande is on two floors; the ground floor has a large living area which includes the kitchen equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher, large fridge, microwave and gas oven. Upstairs are two light and airy bedrooms, one with a double bed overlooking the pool and a twin bedded room overlooking sunflower fields. There is a good-sized shower room on the first floor and an additional loo downstairs. The front door opens onto the terrace, with table and chairs, and then onto a lawn, beyond which is the fenced pool.
The shared outdoor garden area is a great enclosed space for the children to hare around in. Garden toys enhance the children`s enjoyment. The pool is enclosed for safety and has a stepped entrance which is ideal for toddlers who are just getting to grips with the water. The shared BBQ area is also a great asset and offers the chance to socialise with other families.
Parent Point: The bottom 3 steps of the stairwell are not protected by the stairgate. Please bear this in mind if your child is of an age where this might present a hazard.
Note: Please note that as this is a cluster of properties, then not all this equipment is made available in every gite and you may have to request certain items from the Owners. You can also make requests at the time of booking.
Only 1 mile away (about 20 minutes walk) from the charming village of Labastide d`Anjou (complete with a bakery, butcher, pharmacy, two hotel/restaurants, a doctor and a dentist), the Les Gites d`Anjou are perfectly placed to explore this fascinating corner of south west France. The nearest supermarket is 7 minutes in the car at Castelnaudary. With Toulouse and the medieval city of Carcassonne only 45 minutes away and the Mediterranean coast and Pyrenees mountains within an hour`s drive, there is plenty to keep every member of the family happy.
