This house is full of character. Once used as a farm shed in the beginning of the century, it's now newly converted into a spacious three bedroomed luxury town house with exposed beams and enough stone walls not to make it too dark. The downstairs consists of an open plan lounge, dining area that is raised on a wooden limewashed deck and fully equipped kitchen with a downstairs toilet. The upstairs has three spacious bedrooms with laundry room and bathroom with separate shower and bath. The house has a lovely view overlooking the the famous chateau on top of the hill and Puivert village with the river running through it.

The house is decorated in a modern but contempory style with limewashed floors, exposed stone walls and dark wood beams with plenty of comfort and style. We also have wifi internet connextion available for those who want to keep their finger on the pulse, or for the more relaxed in mind their is plenty of books to laze under a tree by the lake and unwind, or if a more active holiday is what you're craving we also have an inflattable kayak and bycycles for rent. Extra beds are available on request.

Aude is a region full of history and natural beauty. With the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea the countryside is full of beautiful gorges, serene lakes, mountain vistas, caves with under land lakes and lush pine forests surrounding mountain plateau, while the coast has beautiful long beaches. As the climate has an average of 300 days of sunshine a year, there are plenty of vineyards to visit and taste the very popular 'Blanquette de Limoux', which is an excellent sparking wine.

The region is also steeped in ancient Cathar history with plenty of chateaux to visit and beautifully kept medieval towns, for example Carcassonne which is said to be the best kept in Europe and the ancient market town of Mirepoix with it's beautifully kept square where a market is held every Monday.

The Canal du Midi also winds it way through the region where you can cycle along the tree lined paths or rent a barge and try you hand at the locks!

If it's photography that you're interested in, this is a photographer’s paradise! With the many vineyards, sunflower fields, mountains, lakes, chateaux ect., you'll need plenty of film!

As you can imagine with this type of scenery comes all the activities associated with it. There is whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, caving, abseiling, mountain biking, cycling, fishing, hiking, horse riding, sailing, canoeing, gliding, skiing, snowboarding and many more making this region truly versatile for anyone!

Or if you are a lover of wine, there are many vineyards around that are open to the public for wine tasting. My favourite of course is the Blanquette, which is a sparkling white wine.
In the heart of the Cathar region and on the art route, Puivert is a little village full of character, charm and natural beauty. With its own lake at the foot of the Pyrenees there is plenty to see and do. Whether it's an active holiday you desire or a relaxing one, Puivert has it all. Relax by the lake with it's own sandy beach where you can cool off with a nice swim while taking in the stunning mountain scenery, write your postcards at the lakeside cafe or maybe try some gliding at the local airstrip! If it's culture you're after, the XIth Century Puivert castle is just a 15-minute walk away.
