The house
Fully renovated old farmhouse on plot of 1.6 hectares with pristine views over a lovely valley with the Pyrenees in the distance. This is not a holiday home but the (secondary) home of the owner who in his absence rents the house for select periods, adults only. There is a private pool with total privacy and surrounded by a spacious wooden deck/terrace. The house is decorated with lots of art and other touches that show that the owner has lived and worked in the Levant for three decades. In addition to the terrace around the pool, there is a large covered terrace adjacent to the kitchen, a spacious balcony on the first floor, and four small terraces at various points on the property. On the ground floor there is a spacious and well-equipped kitchen-diner with table and eight chairs, a cosy lounge with wood-burning stove, a guest bathroom, and a hallway/staircase (the primary bedroom, with adjoining bathroom and a pantry, also on the ground floor, are not accessible during rentals)..On the first floor there are four spacious bedrooms, one of which has access to the aforementioned balcony, with a second guest bathroom as well as a spacious landing (one of the four rooms is not accessible during rentals). Two electric folding bicycles are available for tenants.

Reviews
Koos van Velzen from Heiloo,
De plek is super. Je moet van rust houden, maar daar kwamen we voor. Reeen, hazen, eekhoorns. Het is een dunbevolkte streek, dus hou rekening met een stukje rijden voor leuke stadjes. De eigenaar is zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk (via app). . Zwembad is lekker. Het huis zelf is prima, maar niet zo strak. Het voldoet, maar het is wat rommelig vertimmerd en ook wel wat verouderd. Geen probleem, maar daarom geen 8 of 9. Heerlijke tijd gehad.
Restaurants, food & wine
There are a number of excellent restaurants in the immediate (15-minute drive) vicinity of Ménusé de Catalan with Auberge Champêtre and Les Comptoires des Halles as favourites. Samatan, the Foie Gras capital of France, is half an hour away and makes its mark on the region's cuisine; in addition to Foie Gras, there are Magret de Canard, Confit de Canard and Magret Seche de Canard. Besides other meats and excellent fish and seafood, there are also plenty of fresh vegetables, salads and fruit. There are several local cheese producers who sell their cheeses - from cow, goat and sheep's milk - directly at the various makets, and they are the same cheeses you find on the menus of local restaurants. The south-west of France has a rich wine culture and, in addition, Boulogne sûr Gesse has had an artisanal beer brewery since early 2023.
Activities
The primary attraction of Ménusé de Catalan is that it is located in a beautiful quiet spot with maximum privacy. The ideal place to recover from daily worries and stress and recharge the batteries. There are daily markets in the area, including the farmers market on Saturdays in the beautiful town of Aurignac (30 minutes) and the Wednesday market in Boulogne sûr Gesse (15 minutes), the nearby town where there are also two supermarkets and several other shops. The Pyrenees and Spanish border are an hour's drive away, as is the lively and beautiful city of Toulouse. There is a small riding school in Peguilhan and furthermore there are several hiking trails in the immediate vicinity of Ménuse.
