Excellent property but spoilt by water shortage
The house, location, amenities and facilities are all superb. The position of the house with its stunning views is beautiful. The pool is lovely and the shaded barbecue and eating area are excellent. Beds are comfy with good quality pillows. The area is really lovely, with plenty to see and do. The village of Durban Corbières is a typical small French village, with all basic amenities and is a 10 minute walk (albeit a bit steep on the way back).
All our negative scores are related to the water shortage which we suffered and which the village has experienced, worsening every year for the past 4 years. This summer during our stay, the water was cut off at 14.00 every day and did not come back on till 06.00 the next day. However, because of the elevated position of the Villa, we actually did not get water returning till around 10.00 each day, sometimes later. This meant that we had just 3-4 hours water each day, which made life very difficult. We didn’t know about this problem until it was too late to cancel, so our stay, with 6 adults and 3 children under 6, was not easy.
We would thoroughly recommend this house, but check if the water problem has been solved. If it has, then you will have a fabulous holiday!
