Comigne – Orlofshús/-íbúðir

Cecile and Olivier were the best hosts we could ask for. Not only is the apartment part of their home, they treated us like family. So knowledgeable and friendly. The apartment was clean and quiet and the morning coffee was a nice touch. You need a car since it's secluded but you cannot ask for a more wonderful host or a better value.

This value-for-money accommodation was the deciding factor in our making a decision to come to Carcassonne for a fly-drive holiday in the beautiful Corbieres. The location in a discreet urban addition to the old wine village of Comigne exceeded expectations. I expected a shoddily-constructed 1980's home within earshot of the motorway, so was delighted to discover that Comigne is set amongst some of the most stunning vineyard countryside I have ever seen, and far removed from any noise pollution. Chez Sylvie was originally built for an elderly relative, and is built & finished to a very high standard. Great location! The main autoroute and national roads are 5 minutes drive away, reached via a tree-lined road. The nearest Intermarche (cc only) supermarket is at nearby Capendu, with further choices at Lezignan. If you drive south from Comigne you will find yourself en route to Montlaur, deep in the Corbieres. The award-winning village of Lagrasse is less than an hour away. We liked the comfortable, wide double bed that has nothing at the end of it to irritate tall people. We loved the walk in shower room. There is NO cubicle with difficult-to-open doors and cramped space! What there is is plenty of space, ample hot water, with a powerful flow that does not alternate from hot to cold. Bravo! We liked the kitchenette with its 2 ring induction stove to cook our morning porridge, and to heat up things like tins of cassoulet. There is also a mini-oven and ample-sized fridge, and there was a supply of basics like tea, coffee, salt, pepper and cooking oil. Sylvie is a fabulous host, who met us to hand over keys. She included wonderful extras such as a BBQ with charcoal, and (during the summer season) she is happy for her guests to enjoy a lovely bubbly jacuzzi in the yard, which offers both sunny and shaded areas. Sylvie really made us feel at home!

Exceptionally clean and comfortable - bed, bathroom with excellent shower and tub, everything felt just perfect. I did some hiking to explore the area, and the accommodation was great for the purpose - close to scenic walking routes, and comfy and peaceful to rest after an activity day. Breakfast was superb. Apart from what I asked for, I also got a very nice surprise - homemade tart and strawberries from the hosts garden. But what was also very important to me - really friendly and kind hosts. I don't speak French, so often found myself confused when I couldn't explain myself during this holiday. So I feel really grateful to my hosts, who were very patient, genuinely wanted to help, answered my every question and took time to make sure everything was OK for me. Thank you so much! I would recommend this place to anyone planning a visit to the area, and definitely would come back myself!
