This is a house that welcomed us warmly and with open arms...one of the loveliest places we have stayed in - thank you Steffi & Fabrice. It is light, bright, clean and comfortable. It has everything and more that we needed to feel totally at home - a fully equipped kitchen, wifi, books to read, films to watch, music player, ...the list goes on. We ate our evening meals sitting on the veranda, serenaded by the sunset and the world seemed to pause, so we could savour the tranquility. The night skies here are full of stars (untainted by light pollution). Tautavel is a lovely, friendly village - the post office, shops and restaurants are just a stroll away - there is even a tennis court at the end of the road!! It feels like a hidden gem and is perfectly situated to explore and enjoy this corner of France - there is so much to do and see - and all of it amid the most breath-taking scenery. If you love history, nature, mountains, rivers, art, culture, sport, hiking, food & wine, you will love this place. A week is not long enough....we really, really did not want to leave.....
