Chez Lu Lu in Olonzac

Chez Lu Lu was an excellent base for visiting the Languedoc and an excellent accommodation. Spotless, well appointed, cheerful and sunny. Parking was easy. Lucy was available and helpful if needed. Olonzac is a quiet town, but it has all that is needed for a comfortable visit. We would stay here again!

Quaint property in the centre of a charming village

Very neatly set out on three floors, kitchen/diner on the bottom, bedroom in the middle and lounge and terrace on top. You'll get plenty of exercise staying here as you'll always find the thing you want is actually two floors up or two floors below you! Overall, a charming and excellently equipped property that comes with superb support from Lucy whose extensive knowledge of all things local was a great help!

Tout était bien sauf le parking

L'habitation était vraiment parfaite avec une très belle décoration. Le problème était le parking, tous les soirs nous n'avons pas pu nous garer car le parking public était systématiquement complet. Dans l'annonce il faudrait indiquer que l'appartement ne dispose pas de parking contrairement à ce qui était indiqué. Si nous avions eu cette information nous aurions choisi une autre location.

Chez Lulu was Perfect

Chez Lulu was a perfect home base for us. It was so charming, comfortable and well set up. Lucy made arrival and departure simple and also gave us some good restaurant recommendations when we asked for them! We were very happy that we were able to stay at your place. Thank you Lucy.

A Gem of a Place

Lucy the owner met us at the house and explained everything to us. She contacted us earlier in the day as there was an event in Olonzac and some of the roads may be closed and gave other directions to get to the house. She was contactable throughout the holiday and she was very friendly and willing to have a chat whenever we saw her around Olonzac. The house was perfect and just as described. We loved the roof terrace where we spent every evening. The bedroom was light and airy with plenty of storage space. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed many a meal looking out onto the Marie. Parking outside was always available. Olonzac is a very friendly town and the locals always have time to say bonjour. We felt at home very quickly.

Sehr schön eingerichtetes und gemütliches Ferienhaus in Olonzac

Im April 2019 haben wir zwölf schöne Tage in Olonzac verbracht. Das Ferienhaus Chez LuLu ist ideal für 2 Personen. Es ist liebevoll eingerichtet und verfügt über eine gut ausgestattete Küche, wenn man mal selber den Kochlöffel schwingen möchte. Unsere Vermieterin Lucy Freeman hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und uns den Urlaub mit einem Liter Milch und einer Flasche Wein gut anfangen lassen. Wir haben viele Tipps für Freizeitgestaltung und Weinkauf von ihr erhalten. Olonzac selber bietet 3 Bäckereien, mehrere Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Dienstags lohnt sich der Besuch des wöchentlichen Marktes. Die Gegend rund um Olonzac lädt zu schönen Ausflügen ein. Man kann sich mittelalterliche Städtchen wie Minerve und Lagrasse anschauen oder in die nahegelegenen Städte Carcassonne und Narbonne fahren. Auch zum Mittelmeer ist es nicht weit zu fahren. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist ein Besuch der 4 Chateaux de Lastours. Neben den Burgruinen zieht einen die atemberaubende Landschaft in ihren Bann. Abends kann man dann den Tag auf der schönen Dachterrasse des Ferienhauses ausklingen lassen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können uns gut vorstellen, noch einmal zu einer anderen Jahreszeit unseren Urlaub im Chez LuLu zu verbringen. Viele Grüße an Lucy aus Deutschland.

It's an excellent small house in the middle of a functional little town.

The house basically has three rooms: the kitchen/diner, bedroom and small sitting room with open roof terrace. There is also a shower-room/wc. It's small but it all works very well. The ground floor kitchen/diner has all you need including a good wood burning stove for cooler months. There are also electric heaters should you need them. The bedroom on the first floor is fine with adequate storage and a good bed. The sitting room on the top floor is small but with big windows looking onto a similarly sized roof terrace where you can sit out. It is all well decorated and very well kept. The owner is local and very helpful. We found parking right outside the front door to be easy, but it was a French school holiday period, but parking is not going to be a problem. The town is small but manages three or more bakeries, several restaurants and bars, post office, butcher and good modern super market - all within walking distance. It also has a good cave cooperative selling its good wine at good prices under the name of "Brian". On Tuesdays there is an enormous local market running through half of the town. It's very good with a wide range of products. Excellent for vegetables etc. The market comes within about 80m of the house - no need to drive and park. Further afield, there's lots to see and do and getting around by car is easy. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

Lovely roof terrace in the heart of Languedoc village

This is a lovely home in a nice Languedoc village - perfect for a taste of French village life on your holidays. It's clean, well-equipped and tastefully decorated, but the star feature is definitely the roof terrace. When we weren't out sightseeing and enjoying the lovely countryside, we seemed to spend most of our time sitting on the terrace - perfect for breakfast and aperitifs. Lucy was a really helpful and friendly host. Olonzac was a good place in which to base ourselves. It has a number of restaurants within easy walking distance, and although you have to go further afield to get the best cooking, we enjoyed sampling what was on offer in the village.

Comfortable home away from home with all the creature comforts and good music and reading selection

Really enjoyed our stay in Chez Lu Lu. Lucy met us on arrival and imparted lots of local recommendations for things to do and places to visit. Olonzac is less than an hour from a selection of beaches and within range of the Pyrenees, so lots to see and do. We would recommend....a trip on 'Le Train Rouge' for stunning scenery, the city of Minerve, Gruissan Plage & old town, Carcassonne castle, Canal du Midi tour from Homps, Tue market in Olonzac and last but not least...great coffee and pastries in Boulangerie du Marché aux Herbes (just around the corner from the house).

Sehr schöne und gepflegte Wohnung

Liegt direkt am Rathausplatz von Olonzac und ist daher belebt und man ist schnell zu fuß im verträumten Städtchen von Olonzac. Jede Woche ist dort ein großer Markt für ein Tag, dort findet man alle Köstlichkeiten der französischen Küche. Narbonne ist als große Stadt in ca 45km per Auto gut zu erreichen und der Strand von Narbonne ( Plage ) ist sehr zu empfehlen.

A beautiful holiday house in a quiet, relaxing and well placed location.

Thank you to Lucy for creating such a welcoming and relaxing home for us to unwind in. I almost wanted it to rain so that we could stay inside and enjoy the house! The decor and attention to detail is outstanding - there is everything you need and more. We loved the stable door in the kitchen to let in the air and the comings and goings of the square, the winding staircases, the roof terrace and all the nooks and crannies that you have cleverly created and dressed so beautifully. We did a lot of cycling along the Canal du Midi and enjoyed stopping off at the locks for coffees & cold drinks. We had a lovely lunch at the Chantovent in Minverve - thanks for the recommendation. We also enjoyed sitting in the low chairs outside the bar in Homps watching the boats and the birds coming and going. It has been a lovely week and we hope to return to find out more about the area.

Séjour et ambiance inoubliables! Un charme fou!

Dès notre entrée dans cette maison de charme nous avons été impressionnés. Ce qui frappe au départ, c'est la propreté et l'ordre qui nous accueille. Tout est en place avec plusieurs petites attentions. Même la décoration reflète l'image de la région. Tout simplement impeccable. On se sent tout de suite comme chez soi avec une touche bien typique de Midi-Pyrénées. Bien située, au cœur littéralement de ce village authentique, on ne saurait être plus au centre de cette magnifique région. Cette toute petite ville offre néanmoins bien des services et des p'tits restos et bars bien accueillants. Le café de la Poste mais, encore plus, il faut aller Au Petit ZAC, bistrot super sympathique, incontournable ici. Mais il y a aussi d'autres tables tout près comme l'Asphodèle et même L'Especiaria à Oupia. Partout, un accueil simple et charmant. On ne joue pas la comédie, on est vraiment bien reçus. Que de choses à découvrir dans ce coin en même temps rempli de quiétude et de bon temps, la proximité du Canal du Midi, les villages avoisinants et bien d'autres coins, innombrables, chacun ayant son identité. Et il ne faut pas oublier le marché hebdomadaire du mardi qui offre tout ce que la région peut produire, de tout et de grande qualité, bien sûr. Tout cela sans compter le charme de la proprio Lulu, pleine d'attentions en toute discrétion. Un jour prochain, nous y retournerons pour une période plus longue assurément. Merci pour tout Lulu et salutations à la belle Chloé.

Very nice and tenderly furnitured house

My wife and me had really great days in Chez LuLu. The house is tenderly funitured and very clean. Although we did not really use the kitchen, it was very good equipped. Because of its location everything can be reached with a short walk. We did not meet the host personally, but the contact was very confident and informing. A very good choice at a nice place to stay not far away to the Canal du Midi, Beziers, Carcasonne and the beach. If we would visit this region again, we would try to rent the house again.
