If you're looking for a safe haven from which to explore the mysteries of the Cathar castles, discover delightful walks in the MalepĂšre Massif or simply unwind in a peaceful space for yourselves, a RazĂšs GĂźtes may be right for you.
Located in a quiet, rural village, guests have the opportunity to slow down the pace of time and re-discover a sense of inner peace and calm while gently re-connecting with the sights and sounds of nature all around.
There are two gĂźtes at RazĂšs â Soujeole and CorbiĂšres - both suitable for short stays or long lets. Each gĂźte is ideally suited for a couple and has its own private entrance, parking, fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge areas, double bedroom and bath/shower room, wifi access. They may be rented together or individually.
Guests of Soujeole and CorbiĂšres gĂźtes have a choice of 3 shared yet secluded gardens and the Grange at their disposal for outdoor dining and relaxation. The Grange houses: the outdoor kitchen, washing machine, BBQ, table tennis & darts.
Guests have the opportunity to slow down time, re-connect with the sights and sounds of nature all around safely tucked away in the heart of a rural village. The area is renowned for its wild orchids and birds of prey which are to be found no more than a stone's throw away. Depending on the time of year, the neighbouring hillsides of vines, poppies or sunflowers are simply spectacular lending incredible views of the countryside and Cathar castles.
With their unique ambiance & rustic character, RazĂšs GĂźtes are suitable for short & long lets. Open all year round, they also provide those who need a 'get-away-from-it-all' break in winter a bolthole from within which to re-energise during the long, cold months.
For the bird lover, it's a perfect place from which to admire the sights and sounds of many local species of buzzards, kites, eagles and kestrels among many others.
The Grange and secluded gardens may be shared with a couple staying in the gĂźte next door. This means a maximum of 4 people using the outdoor facilities at any one time.
The owners are based in the adjoining property and are on hand, happy to help with advice, reservations & suggestions if and where required. However, if you've already made your own plans or prefer to have none at all, peace and privacy are all yours.
Whatever your preferred pastime, RazĂšs GĂźtes provide an ideal base from which to explore the Aude & AriĂšge countryside, the quaint circular villages and Cathar towns, or your own inner peace.
Local shops, wine and restaurants: The village of Escueillens is situated mid-way between Limoux & Mirepoix. There are no shops in the village so a series of mobile butchers, bakers and grocers make their daily rounds to the village square. The nearest shops, cafés and bank can be found just 7 km away in BelvÚze which is also home to the local wine chùteau.
The region is famous for its Blanquette de Limoux and also boasts more than 350 wines which you can't find in your supermarket back home. For those who like to indulge, we can arrange wine-tasting tours of the local caves and chĂąteaux.
There are many delightful restaurants in the neighbouring towns of Mirepoix, Limoux & Carcassonne offering gastronomic experiences galore. We are happy to make recommendations & reservations.
