Bienvenue au Domaine de La Bade... A lovely small-scale holiday home domaine with 5 gîtes, close to Carcassonne in the beautiful Languedoc-Roussillon region of the sunny South of France.
Joep & Miranda have completely renovated a traditional farm with old barns into five modern "barn chic style" holiday homes (gȋtes) with swimming pool.
With spectacular views of the valley of Carcassonne and the Pyrenees, Domaine de la Bade is the ideal location to enjoy a relaxing holiday in this charming region of Southern France.
Come and enjoy the sunny terraces, shady corners, the lovely pool, lazy hammocks, delicious food, good wines and especially the relaxed and informal atmosphere, where you can really feel at home.
Domaine de la Bade is also a true holiday paradise for children. While you can relax and read a book, there is plenty of space for the children to romp and enjoy! The swimming pool, the play castle, the swings, the trampoline and strolling through the fields on the 14 hectare domain (without proximity to busy roads) are the favorite activities of our youngest guests.
Table d'hôtes:
You can also enjoy culinary delights at Domaine de la Bade. Once a week there is a delicious 3-course menu offered (table d'hotes) where all guests join for a nice meal. On the day of arrival you can also reserve a welcome meal which will be ready for you in your cottage. All to have a relaxing start of your holdiay!
