Rural retreat Occitanie

This is my own home which is available while I am travelling. It is a small wooden house in a beautiful rural area of southern France. It is a very quiet spot ideal for writers, artists, a couple or small family (up to 4). Wild swimming places are within a short drive and there are lots of lovely possibilities for hiking and visiting Cathar castles. Shops and markets are within a 10 minute drive. The outdoor space is beautiful and wild (a butterfly and lizard paradise), but in full sun without a lot of shade. I would appreciate help with a small amount of plant watering. The site is on a hillside so young children would need to be supervised. There is a nice wooden floor throughout (good for yoga practice) but only a small 2 seater sofa and one armchair. The third bedroom has a communicating door with the double bedroom and access from it to the bathroom/wc is either through the double bedroom or across the outdoor patio area. I will put away some of my personal belongings to give you wardrobe and drawer space. There is WIFI which you will be able to access however it can be erratic and slow. I am not available personally however a friend will oversee your stay and you will have another contact number for emergencies Fa is a small village with nice cafe which serves good home cooked food and has great music nights. A larger village -Esperaza is 2km away with a supermarket and a twice weekly outdoor market Parking at the house. The nearest trains and buses are from Esperaza with regular links to Carcassonne and Quillan. Local train/bus rides are just 1 euro. The high Pyrenees and the coast are both accessible (approx 11/2 - 2 hour drive) Both very pretty routes. My house is on the hill overlooking the village (hence beautiful view)and access is up a steep hill with an s bend. This may not suit nervous drivers. I have a wild garden with plenty of insects - butterflies, lizards, bees, wasps, spiders, and on occasion visited by a toad. There is no outdoor lighting and no street lighting - resulting in beautiful clear starlit skies.
