Domaine Le Rec d'Al Four is situated in a hilly environment with woods and wine estates, at the foot of the Pyrenees. It is a secluded place situated at a very quiet road, just one kilometer from the village of Castelreng. We are Bert and Marian, a Dutch couple that aquired the organic vegetable growery with three holiday homes in 2009.

Gîtes

We have three vacation homes: Gîte Forêt for 2 to 4 persons with a private terrace, Gîte Lavande for 4 to 6 persons with a private terrace and small garden, and Gîte Soleil for 6 to 8 persons with a large balcony. The homes are located next to our home and close to the vegetable nursery. All guests are welcome to use the central garden, the playing area, and the swimming pool (5m x 10m x 1.10m depth). Each holiday home has its own barbecue.

Growery

Our organic growery consists of eight tunnel greenhouses were we grow seasonal vegetables: in summer and fall for instance tomatoes, cucumbres, peppers, eggplants and beans. In winter and spring for instance lettuces of various varieties, radish, courgette and fennel. Outside we have about one hectare of field-scale vegetables like carrot, cabbages, lettuce, tomatoes, squash, melon, courgette and herbs. These organic vegetables are available for our guests. You are welcome to have a look at our growery.

Surroundings

In Limoux (at 8 km) you can find a number of large supermarkets, bakeries, small shops and restaurants. The village has a cosy town square with bars and terraces and a number of unique musea. Rafting is possible on the Aude (30 minute drive) and swimming in the Lac de Montbel. The area offers numerous hiking opportunities and there are numerous ruins to visit. It takes just over one hour to drive to the Mediterranean. Going to the historical town of Carcassonne takes about 40 minutes.
