Classic charm with modern comforts

Mas de La Prade is a beautiful example of a classic French farmhouse that one would find in the countryside around Carcassonne in the Languedoc region of south-west France. 

The large French windows of the Olive gîte and the gîte's south-facing view help create a bright and welcoming living room, which, with its stone fire place, tapestry and deep sofas provide a comfortable living space for you and your family. The gite is equipped with a satellite TV and DVD.

The kitchen, La Prade, near Carcassonne, Languedoc

A second set of French windows lead you into the kitchen and dining area. The antique table and chairs in the dining area are in keeping with the age and style throughout the gîte.  The kitchen combines a clean modern style with old rural French achieved by using contemporary units and some free-standing furniture decorated in the classic 'antique bleu'.  The kitchen is fully equipped with a sink, hob, fridge, dishwasher, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and pots and pans.  To minimise noise the clothes washing-machine is located upstairs in the cupboard housing the hot water tank.
