A real gem
Villa Rani is located in a beautiful and peaceful setting on the edge of a small village. It has a light and airy feel and is decorated, furnished and equipped to a very good standard. Having access to an immaculately maintained swimming pool is a further attraction. The garden around the villa has a natural feel and there are numerous places for sitting and outdoor eating. The friendly and helpful owner was there to welcome us on our arrival and, although ready to provide assistance if needed, left us to ourselves throughout our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Villa Rani and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Delightful Eco Property
Amazing ecological bungalow in its own well laid out gardens. Very spacious, plenty of room to move around in, well planned out. Plenty of cupboard space with hangers. Useful kitchen with fridge, oven with electric hob., microwave electric kettle and toaster etc. We slept well waking up to glorious weather, with only one wet day in four weeks. There is a E.Leclerc supermarket in Limoux which sells just about everything, just a few miles away. Our favourite town was the medieval town of Mirepoix with it’s magnificent Church. The scenery and views are stunning all around the Midi Pyrenees. We enjoyed a lovely relaxing holiday. The owners are great, living nearby and offered us their attention if needed.Thank you Jean Pierre and Basanti. John and Shirley

Peaceful home in rural France
We enjoyed the rural location close to wonderful hiking trails and mountain views. Wonderful bakeries and stores were only a 20 minute drive on gorgeous, but narrow and winding roads. Jean Pierre was available to answer any questions, but did not interfere with our stay. The spacious home has a lovely garden and outdoor patios. We did not use the pool during our stay in October, but it was available.

Rural and peaceful
Very quiet and peaceful. More rural than expected, it is a 20 minute drive to shops on narrow but pretty roads. Practical points - more cutlery and crockery is needed and the lovely pool is the otherside of the owners property. We enjoyed our stay.

So peaceful
Donazac and Villa Rani is the perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday. Spotlessly clean, pool great, the views were outstanding. JeanPierre and Basanti were excellent hosts.

Needs some TLC
Excellent location overlooking the village of Donazac. Nice to have seating and tables on 3 sides of the property and the pool area was a delight: clean, well-kept and spacious, even it was some 50 metres from the house and had to be accessed over a neglected area of garden with an uneven surface and some dangerous holes along the way. As for the outside area of the property and the kitchen, they looked loke they needed some tender loving care by the owners: weeds were growing through the gravel areas, plants were overgrown and obstructing the paths, one recliner chair near the house was torn, both recliners around the pool had seen better days. Being warned to be careful when sliding the door of a wardrobe in the hall because they might fall off is not reassuring!! The kitchen equipment and utensils looked like they had been randomly sourced from a charity shop/FRIP. Many were stained so our first job was to make sure they were clean by loading the dishwasher on our first night and wiping down the cupboard doors and worktops. In this age of COVID, surfaces that are sticky to touch provide no reassurance that they have been properly cleaned. There was no welcome-pack. Perhaps all small things but they are not up the the standard that we have come to expect of VRBO properties. The indications are there that more care and attention needs to be taken in maintaining the fabric and the cleanliness of this property.

Beautiful and serene
This is a lovely and unique property in one of the most beautiful areas of France that we can imagine. Jean Pierre and Basanti live just a few meters away, so they are present if you need them, but they are extremely sensitive about giving you privacy. The house is lovely, with lots of glass. The pool is so clean and it's heated. It also has a counter current feature, so if you swim distances, as I do, you can swim easily and without turning. The kitchen is fully equipped and functional, so we spent many evenings sitting in the dining room or outdoors, sipping wine while cooking dinner. A wonderful experience! Thank you, Jean Pierre and Basanti!

Amid the vignerons of Aude!
What a delightful experience! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Villa Rani, nestled on a beautiful hillside above the small village of Donazac, near Limoux, France. This property lived up to every expectation, with a beautiful pool, lovely flowering garden with fruit trees and other vegetation, not to mention delightful landlords Jean-Pierre and Basanti, who graciously invited us to their home during our stay but also offered us privacy and a restful, uninterrupted stay. The gite was clean and neat and had special design and decorating touches executed by the owners. the kitchen was well-equipped, and all appliances worked smoothly. We loved being out in the countryside, amid the gorgeous vineyards of Aude, visiting interesting Cathar historical sites and enjoying glorious scenery, hiking through the local area, and stopping in at several caves and farms to taste and buy the local wine, cheese, and produce. We also ate some wonderful meals ay local restaurants, as well as preparing other meals at the gite enjoying local market finds. Thanks to our hosts, we had a wonderful time!

A beautiful escape
The villa is in a very quiet and beautiful part of the countryside with vineyards everywhere. If you're looking for a restful getaway, then this is the place. The region is amazing; beautiful scenery to enjoy and many places of interest to visit within an hour's drive on average. Jean-Pierre and his wife are kind, lovely people and were so helpful. We stayed during the heatwave and it was very very hot. They were so thoughtful and brought round an additional fan which was so welcomed! The pool is a very short walk away and although shared with the owner, it is completely private and you can have sole use of it whenever you want to. The villa itself was very pleasant. It was equipped with everything we needed. All in all we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.
