Some of our reviews

our reviews

    Very nice and functional house and very well-equipped. The only small downside is the noise caused by the busy street in front of the house.

    Very nice large house in a charming village. Very responsive and courteous host. I recommend it.

    The house had everything we expected and more. It comfortably accommodated our large group with lots of space and bathrooms. The basement was a huge hit with the teenagers. The pool was very welcome on a hot day. Chalabre itself is perfect and has everything you might need but small enough to get to know faces and places. We had a great time chilling at the house and exploring the beautiful surrounding villages and countryside.

    Amazing place with an amazing pool. 10/10

    House/location is stunning! Would definitely visit again! Rooms,facilities,pool were great!

    Fantastic place, everything you need and a whole lot more. Highly recommend

    Such a gorgeous location with beautiful walks & views on your doorstep. Huge gardens with a lovely pool that the kids & adults both really enjoyed. A really beautiful spacious house with a lovely kitchen/dining room for dinners with family/friends, comfy beds, lots of lounging/social areas and even table tennis. Super clean and tidy with everything you could need. Would 1000% recommend! Thank you for having us 💕

    What a beautiful place! Truly amazing. The house is made to feel like home. My family had the best week we could have wished for. Wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommended to any family/friends who are looking to make memories.

    A beautiful well equipped spacious house and lovely pool. The kitchen diner area is great for a large group of people. Chalabre is a typical French village with a couple of friendly cafe/bars and a bakery. A really relaxing week.Highly recommend!

    We had a fantastic 10 days at Maison Carree. It is a lovely house which is perfect for groups or families. The swimming pool was perfect for the hot days. All the rooms in the house are large and the bbq area is brilliant. The village has a butchers, bakery, small supermarket and 2 bars. You can take your pastry into the bar next door when you order coffee. Their are 2 lakes close by to split up the week and some decent markets a drive away for a mooch around. All in all a lovely part of france and a very relaxing week. Recommend highly
