Our house is near the centre of Belesta and has a pretty garden which is rather unusual for a French village house. We want to make sure that your short or long stay is as peaceful and restful as possible, and it usually possible to sit outside until late in the evening. Ideally situated for all activities including visiting all the historial sites in this wonderful area for painting, walking, biking, cycling, househunting etc and discovering this lovely unspoilt area, no matter what time of the year, as the scenery is ever changing .
Belesta has a chemist, bank, post office with cash machine, traditional butchers, bakers, greengrocers and a supermarket so you dont have to travel far to get what you need. We have two bars with their restaurants and within 10-20 mins there are many more lovely restaurants you can try, even one by a lake in the openair in the summer. Or you can simply relax with a good DVD in the sitting room.
There are many castles and mountains, forests, lakes (with little beaches) and lots of historical interest as we are on the "Route of the Cathares" with the Chateau ofMontsegur just 20 minutes away. Andorra and Spain are approximated one and a half to two hours away. The wonderful scenery changes with the seasons. We are situated on the border of Ariege and the Aude so we are well situated for house hunting too.
We are also central for visiting the many and varied attractions this area has to offer, for example, the butterfly farm, the prehistoric park, the longest underground river trip in Europe, carting, canoeing, kyaking, and there are loads more to chose from. We also have puzzles and games for children (or grownups) including boules and darts, so you see we have everything to offer you here for a wonderful holiday.
Small or large parties can be accommodated as we have many spacious rooms, as the other side of our house is a chambre d'hotes, so just let us know your details and we will help you all we can.
We also have part of the house as a bed and breakfast, see property 14794.
