Beautiful house
This is a beautiful house with exceptionally nice, clean, and modern bathrooms and kitchen. My 7 year old daughter loved the pool! The outdoor furniture is fantastic and there are small pears all over the place from the pear tree in the back yard...very beautiful. The owner was reliable and friendly in all our online dealings, and once we were there we were taken care of by a lady names Jane. The vrbo profile/pictures are an accurate depiction of the house, although it should be corrected to reflect that there is no AC. This wasn’t a problem for us as the stone walls of the house kept it relatively cool at night even in mid-July, although the 2 bedrooms on the 3rd level needed the fans we were provided more than the others did. There are many beautiful towns nearby that have market days, but make sure to adjust to French time, as they tend to close around noon or 1pm. We loved the quaintness of this village. It has a small bar and a small bakery a 2-3 mins walk away. We’d go there in the morning right as the pain au chocolat had just come out of the oven! We would definitely come back as this house is beautiful and comfortable and this part of France is gorgeous and so rich in history. Thanks Alma!

A Beautiful French Escape
We had a wonderful time at Tournesol, providing a complete recharge, which was helped along by the surrounding views, countryside, village and not to mention the local wine, village markets and many historical sites. The house was so inviting, with large rooms, modern-french decor and fantastic baths, together with a great outdoor eating and pool area - just wonderful on warm, star covered evenings. We look forward to returning one day!!

Tournesol, Carlipa, France
We had a wonderful holiday in this beautifully converted property, The adults enjoyed the very well equipped kitchen and attention to design detail. The children loved the swimming pool and the nearby lakes. The village is pretty and the entire stay was fun and relaxing. Strongly recommended for family groups.

A beautiful property. Ideal for a family (or two family) getaway
Had a great time here for two weeks. The accommodation is superb and the locals very friendly. An ideal spot to explore Carcassonne and the Languedoc.

A beautiful experience of the real France
We thoroughly enjoyed two weeks in carlipa, our party consisted of 7 adults and 3 boisterous children. The beautiful house easily accomadate us all, and the children made full use of the swimming pool. The location is excellently located for touring the lovely countryside. The Resteraunt on the midi canal was a favourite, as were the local markets. Buying fresh food and enjoying a evening meal in the farmhouse , kids in the pool, was delightful. The unique henri's bar 110 metres away is a real experience with its large collection of all types of cameras. We were well looked after by the local agent ( a Brit) who checked the pool and any assistance we needed. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, lovely old house beautifully restored , highly recommended.

Beautiful house, wonderful location
We stayed at Tournesol for 3 weeks and had a terrific time. The house is lovely, spacious and well-equipped and Carlipa is a quiet village with friendly neighbours. There are lots of interesting places to see in the area, the highlights probably being Mirepoix, Carcassonne and the Abbeye de Villelongue which is quirky, peaceful and enchanting. The pool was enjoyed by lots of people and the outside sitting area was a delight - many a happy evening was spent with good food, wine and heat! There are some super walks in the area and it was a great way to burn off a few calories after supper. You definitely need a car but travelling on French roads is such a pleasure after the scrum of English ones that driving isn't a chore. The boulangerie produces some delicious croissants and bread and the little bar is definitely worth a visit or two. I do hope you enjoy the place as much as we did.

Verblijf met kleine kinderen
Mooi en schoon huis met alle benodigdheden. Vriendelijke gastvrouw. Enige nadeel waren de houten vlonders (splinters door blote voeten) en stenen buiten met kleine kinderen. Helaas geen airco, maar wel ventilatoren op elke slaapkamer aanwezig.

On recommande !
Tres bon séjour à Carlipa, proche de Carcassonne, de balades, de grands espaces. Très bonne communication avec l'hôte qui s'est arrangé pour notre arrivée et notre départ. Magnifique maison avec piscine, terrasse et grandes chambres. Attention car seulement une salle de bain avec douche ! Je recommande totalement !! Merci encore
