Customer Reviews [21]

SPECIAL. Superb house and fantastic facilities. Privilege to be able to stay. Exquisitive setting. Calming and rejuvenating. Inclined to chill by the pool. Amazing week, weather and times. Love to come again.

McKeaons
What a house! Want for nothing. A home from home - plus ++
Thank you Natalie and Mike for everything and making our stay so enjoyable and all the little tips.
(Myrtle needs lots of fuss made of her).

The Snells
We came here to celebrate a couple of family birthdays and get some time together. From the moment we walked in the door we quickly came to realise what an amazing place this is. The view from the kitchen window (bu the sink) literally brought my sister to tears. ... in a very positive way. This week has allowed us to explore the area to some degree, but with so much on offer around and in the property, there was little incentive to go anywhere. The difficulty now will be to keep this gem of a property a secret from others, as we will undoubtedly tell everyone about this fantastic place. Thank you for so generously sharing your house. All the best.

Philippe et Marie-France. Bruxelles. Septembre 2020
We spent, with our 4 children, stepchildren and our 2 granddaughters, 2 weeks of extraordinary holidays at Domaine Rabassie, from September 12 to 26.
Domaine Rabassie is a magnificent place, a true haven of peace, beautifully decorated and more than comfortable. The photos on the site are already very pretty, but the reality is even better. What about the facilities: the super hyper equipped kitchen, the bedding (super comfortable king size beds), the heated swimming pool and its many sun beds, the pizza oven (homemade pizzas cooked on wood, a delight!), Billiard, the ping-pong table and….. the tennis court with, what's more, night lighting. We played tennis games at all hours…. a real pleasure.
We cannot, of course, talk about Domaine Rabassie, without talking about the caretakers who live 2 km from the Domaine. They take care of the Estate with passion and perfection, they are charming and so dedicated. They greatly contributed to the success of our vacation. Many thanks to them.
Thank you also to the owner for the hospitality (without forgetting the Blanquette de Limoux as a welcome gift).
You feel at home at Domaine Rabassie.
Holidays to live or relive without any hesitation.

Alastair and Judy R.
Rabassie is heaven close by to Limoux
at which there is a plethora of things to do;
Swimming and tennis, running and boules,
and the wicket takes spin if you follow the rules!

A holiday so special, it was planned years ago,
and we dreamed of the sunshine during last winter's snow.
But the reality's far better than anyone thought,
it's a place in a million and we wanted for naught.

Grandparents, parents and five grandchildren too,
we laughed and we played all the day through;
but when we were thirsty the beers were imposters
lacking the 'nectar of wonderful Fosters'!

The house wants for nothing, its completely equipped,
the mind boggles as to how it could all have been shipped.
The kitchen has everything, including a spurtle,
and the only sound heard is the meowing of Myrtle!

Despite sporting distractions for all of us folks
we were glued to the tele watching Ben Stokes.
It is lucky our neighbours were only wild boar
'cos his winning four caused a deafening roar!

But all of this fun could not have happened each day
had it not been for Natalie and Mike and their way;
No problem too great, no trouble too small,
with charm and great knowledge they dealt with it all.

Merci, merci, merci!

You do have a little piece of heaven carved out here - we enjoyed it all.

Gerry and Kathy G.
Thank you so very much for allowing us to share your wonderful villa. A little cool weather but we all had a great time. My brother actually worked for Courage Ales in London, England. I thought it was a small world. Mike and your lovely wife were great. If you are ever in Toronto Canada please contact us.

James B.
Where to start, we have had such a wonderful week we have loved everything about this house and grounds. It is the best house we have ever hired as a group and Mike and Natalie have gone out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Just to mention a few of the many things we loved about the house, the fantastic swimming pool, the incredible views, the activities provided, the comfortable beds, the beautiful seating areas in and out of the house, the breakfast area, the bathrooms... and of course Myrtle the cat who joined us every morning for breakfast.
Best of all it was a fantastic place for Grace and Ken to get engaged to be married!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to hire this beautiful home.
(This was truly a magical place to get engaged, Grace x)

Chris and Dorothy W.
Echoing all previous comments. It was a pleasure to stay here and on behalf of the two English-born cricket enthusiasts, we enjoyed the cricket net, as well as all the other sports. You are obviously a man with fine tastes!

Brad and Nicky C.
What a treat! Completely spoilt! Thank you, thank you!

Jane and Jon P.
Thank you so much for your kindness and allowing us to share your piece of French paradise. We have had such a special time - and are so sad to have to say goodbye.

Burt family.
This is the nicest house we have ever rented for a holiday, we were two families and it worked perfectly for us. So many activities at the house including bikes, table football, table tennis, boules, tennis court and a beautiful warm pool. There even more areas than the photos show including a great Pool, TV/ playroom.

The grounds are stunning and views from the terrace a nset a sight to behold! Several beautiful towns are within half an hour's easy journey. Mike and Natalie who look after the house for the owner live a few miles away, nothing is too much trouble for them lovely people, lovely house, couldn't fault a thing! It was a privilege to have the opportunity to live here for a week. Pure relaxation.

We had a very special holiday, once again, Pure France did us proud.

JG and Family
My family and I had a fabulous time during our week in France. It really was exactly what we were looking for and expecting.

A. Goudsmit
What a marvellous place it was to stay - faultless in every respect.

Monk family
We've had a wonderful week, enjoyed by all. We thought the tapas evening with Emma was great fun and well worth it, she's very knowledgable. We ended the week with lunch at Domaine Gayda, a great recommendation.
We were sad to leave such a lovely home which exceeded our expectations and I would love to think that one day we could return. Thank you for your welcome.
