What Our Guests Say
About Their Stay
We think our place is great but don’t take our word for it – read what our guests think…
The house & garden are very relaxing
“Thank you for your hospitality! We had a lovely stay at your beautiful B&B! The house and garden are both great and very relaxing! Thanks for everything”
Another perfect stay!
“Merci! We had another perfect stay at La Calade and wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else. We’re already planning our trip(s) for next year. Thank you for making it such a relaxing and beautiful home away from home for us. We can’t wait to come back!”
A wonderful stay
“We had a wonderful stay at ‘La Calade’. Our room was beautiful and the breakfast was yummy. Thank you for your kindness! We hope to come back one day”
We are definitely returning!
“Newly renovated, extremely clean and beautiful. Our hosts were attentive and wonderfully relaxed. Spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Great shower. Yummy breakfast. Lovely home in the most picturesque village. We are definitely returning! Thank you Nat, Rob and Théo”
One of the highlights of our trip
“We stayed for four nights at La Calade. We made a road-trip through France and tried to avoid the well known crowded places. That is how we found La Calade. I’m not exaggerating when I say this place was one of the highlights of our trip. Rob & Natalie are the sweetest hosts you can imagine, their B&B is amazing and the surroundings are wonderful. Within half an hour car drive away there is sooo much to do, but La Calade is perfect for relaxing as well.
Next time we go to France, La Calade is our Number 1 place to visit again”
A great location for exploring the area
“We stayed 6 nights at La Calade. It was a great location for exploring the region. There’s a kitchen available and a barbeque in the charming private garden. A very nice breakfast was also included in the price. Finally the hosts were very kind and helpful”
A lovely place to base yourself
“A lovely place to base yourself for a few days to explore the region by car or bike. Quirkiness of old furniture used to decorate such as treadle sewing machines as basin stands. Good selection of bedroom configurations – double, twin and a family room
Welcoming and engaging hosts. Beautiful home and thoughtfully decorated. Plenty of space. Lovely village to wander around. Owners gave us a lift into town which was very much appreciated. Rob & Natalie were wonderful hosts”
Appreciated having the whole house
“A very pleasant stay in La Calade with hosts who are both discreet and attentive
The rooms are very beautifully decorated and we appreciated being able to have the whole house for our family stay
Thank you to Natalie and Robert !
Montouliers is a small quiet village, easily accessible and close to the Canal du Midi, not so far from the sea and many other things to discover in the region”
I would recommend this B&B
“I would recommend this B&B to anyone, if you are in for a relaxed or active holiday. The old house is renovated in a modern manner, but is still an authentic wine makers house.
Our room looked out on amazing scenery and had everything we needed. We asked for recommendations and the ones we got were all very nice.
With just a short car drive, there is a lot to do in the area. We did a wine tasting with a local wine maker at the house which was definitely a highlight of our stay. The kitchen and barbecue for guests is a great plus as well! We would love to go back and learn more about the area some time”
Hosts are lovely, highly recommend
“We spent a night here and felt very at home. Lovely place, very nicely done up and great breakfast. Great value for money and the hosts are lovely. Highly recommend”
We wish we could have stayed longer
“We stayed at the La Calade whilst touring the area. Robert and Natalie (and lovely little Théo) were amazing hosts, very friendly and hospitable. With great local knowledge. We were made to feel at home immediately. The house was spotlessly clean and the decor is beautiful, they have a great eye for detail. We had a lovely family room with very comfortable beds. The breakfast was great and all set up ready for us in the living room/dining area with a great view of the surrounding fields. It was very relaxing.
We were invited by Robert and Natalie to a BBQ with 2 other guests who are regulars at the La Calade – it was very laid back and sociable. We were happy to join in. The beautiful location has something for everyone, sunshine, great cycling and wine tasting as well as beaches and water parks. We wished we could have stayed longer, we will definitely be returning sometime this year. I highly recommend a visit”
A fabulous welcome
“I had a lovely 3 night stay in the ‘Carignan’ room – a newly refurbed room with an amazing view. A fabulous welcome from Rob & Natalie. Great location for visiting Carcassonne and the many vineyards in the surrounding region. I would definitely recommend”
The breakfast was particularly good
“A hidden gem. Beautifully renovated townhouse in the middle of Montouliers, situated in the heart of wine country. Super friendly and attentive owners, they even put on a delicious barbecue for us! Also the breakfast was particularly good. Loved the home made croissants”
Stylish rooms. Outstanding value
“Stylish rooms, welcoming hosts and lovely historic building in the heart of wine region. Perfect for couples. Lovely views of surrounding countryside. Close to national park with walks etc. Comfortable beds. Outstanding value!”
We had a fantastic 4-night stay
“We had fantastic 4 night stay at La Calade, this was our second visit and again we were not disappointed.
Robert, Natalie & Theo were wonderful hosts. They welcomed us into their beautifully decorated and very clean home in such a warm and friendly way. Our room was beautifully presented and perfect for our needs. Our 4 year old daughter even got to play with some of Theo’s toys.
Breakfast was perfect for us, separate times are offered to each group staying at La Calade.
Rob & Natalie’s local knowledge was very useful and both were on hand to help planning our trip.
There is a wonderful BBQ area that we used on one of the evenings – Rob and Natalie joined us which was really nice – we even saw some guests that had stayed there at the same time as us last year which was fantastic.
There is lots to see in the area and the 2 beaches we visited (Gruissan & Valras as recommended by Rob) were really good. A walk around Montouliers is very pleasant, the locals are all very laid back, polite and welcoming. We will be back!”
The perfect location for cycling
“We had an amazing time staying at La Calade! The perfect location for cycling into the hills of the Haut Languedoc, and trying the local wines along the way. It was pleasure to be hosted by Natalie, Rob and Theo – super accommodating, stylish rooms, a delicious breakfast and plenty of space for our bikes in the basement. Would recommend!”
Rooms are lovely, spacious & clean
“We had 2 great stopovers here one in May one in September while we were traveling from the Alps to the coast. Very conveniently placed to break up a trip with a little one.
On the second visit Natalie and Rob took us to the local vineyard for a wine tasting. The kids played together and so could the adults.
The rooms are lovely, spacious, clean with some great design features. Breakfast was fantastic bread and patisserie from the local bakers. Will always stop in here as it’s a route we often travel”
We highly recommend this place!
“Our family of four stayed at La Calade for three weeks. We could not have been happier with our choice of stay. It truly is an extraordinarily charming, beautifully furnished and renovated place. The beds are comfortable and the rooms and common spaces are clean. The backyard is such a lovely secluded space to hang out (and for our kids to play) and gave us this lovely (private) Southern France feeling.
What really won us over was how Natalie, Rob and Theo took care of us. They were welcoming, helpful and engaging. The service could not have been better and they made us feel well at home. We highly recommend this place!”
Breakfast is great. Location is perfect
“Breakfast was great. We’re all veggie and that was catered for each morning with a lovely fresh continental breakfast. Perfect start to the day.
The location is perfect – there is a plethora of decent beaches within a 30-40 minute drive and wherever we went we found the parking to be free. Even right next to the beach.
There are some lovely circular walks direct from the property without the need to drive anywhere. The village has one shop which also serves as the local pizzeria. We ate there once on our 3 night stay and it was good. The hosts were there when we needed them and left us to ourselves when we didn’t. Just the way it should be.
Carcassonne is about 40 minutes away if you want to visit that and there are plenty of vineyards, and medieval towns and villages nearby. The bed was super-comfortable; water pressure for the shower was great! Kitchen available and well appointed! Own entrance via the really quaint outdoor seating/bbq area at the back”
Immaculately clean
“Amazing B&B, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Set up in a tranquil village with stunning vistas visible from our bed. We had a beautiful bathroom with stunning art deco floor and a powerful, super hot shower. Really yummy breakfast, the homemade jam on warm croissants was divine. Natalie and Rob were attentive hosts giving us all we needed. Definitely coming back soon, can’t recommend enough”
Would definitely come back again
“We were a group of friends staying at Natalie’s BnB while exploring the Languedoc wine region. The location was great for that. The rooms were nice, the beds were comfy and we really appreciated the breakfast provided. I will miss my daily croissant.
Would definitely come back again when we run out of Languedoc wine (it make take a while – we bought a lot with the excellent wines at reasonable prices). Highly recommend”
All new, comfy and cosy
“Rob and Natalie are perfect hosts, you feel at ease immediately. That’s what one needs after a long day of travelling. All new, comfy and cosy and you’ll get the layback feeling of southern part of France immediately! Simply flabbergasting good!!!”
Stylish & spacious – a perfect night in
“This is a stylish and spacious room with comfy bed and great en-suite facilities. The added benefit of a communal kitchenette and living space for guests was perfect for a night in. Warm croissants , fresh bread and home made apricot jam were a winner with us all at breakfast. Rob and Natalie were brilliant hosts and couldn’t be more helpful. We highly recommend”
We really loved this B&B
“We really loved this B&B. Robert and Natalie are so friendly and nice people! They have done a great job creating this cosy and beautiful place. The accommodation is perfect, clean and there is enough room to spend your time. We had a good night and comfortable sleep. The breakfast was delicious. We can absolutely recommend this B&B”
