Wij hebben hier 10 dagen mogen verblijven en zelfs op dag 10 kom je nog op plekken of zie je dingen die je nog niet eerder hebt gezien. Het huis ademt nostalgie uit en in ieder hoekje valt wel iets te beleven. Niet alleen in het huis is het sprookjesachtig, maar zeker ook de tuin en omgeving zijn plekken waar je niet uitgekeken raakt. Je kan als je het zwembad even zat bent heerlijk wandelen in het bos achter het huis (en dat heb ik dan ook vaak met de hondjes gedaan).

Translated from Dutch
We were able to stay here for 10 days, and even on day 10 you still come across places or see things you have not seen before. The house breathes nostalgia and there is something to experience in every corner. It is not just the house that feels like a fairy tale: the garden and surroundings, too, are places you never tire of. When you have had enough of the pool for a while, you can take a lovely walk in the woods behind the house (and I often did, with the dogs).

Geweldig huis met veel historie en dito omgeving. Mooi ingerichte watermolen met heerlijk privé zwembad in zeer rustige landelijke omgeving, maar toch dicht bij alle voorzieningen en het mooie Carcassonne, zowel Bastide als Cité. Met zorg, klasse en aandacht ingericht. Leent zich uitstekend voor een familie-vakantie met alles erop en eraan. Bbq-en, zwemmen en zelfs een echte houtgestookte pizza-oven. Zeer vriendelijke en betrokken eigenaar. Aanrader!
Translated from Dutch
Great house with a lot of history, and the same goes for the surroundings. A beautifully furnished watermill with a lovely private pool in very quiet countryside, yet close to all amenities and to beautiful Carcassonne, both the Bastide and the Cité. Furnished with care, class and attention. Ideal for a family holiday with everything you could want. Barbecuing, swimming and even a real wood-fired pizza oven. A very friendly and attentive owner. Highly recommended!
Original in Dutch
Dit is de rust, dit is thuiskomen, op het weidse terras met zicht op bomen van een eeuw oud. Karaktervol huis, met alle voorzieningen. In de omgeving alle mogelijke bezienswaardigheden, waaronder een paar niet te missen, zoals de Cité van Carcassonne, hoewel de oude stad evenzeer de moeite waard is. Daarnaast het alomtegenwoordige Canal du Midi met rust en verpozing. Ruïnes van kastelen, boekendorpen, grotten, de Katharenburchten nabij, ruim voldoende aanbod voor een meer dan geslaagde vakantie.
Translated from Dutch
This is peace, this is coming home, on the wide terrace with a view of century-old trees. A house full of character, with every amenity. The area has every sight you could wish for, a few of them not to be missed, such as the Cité de Carcassonne, though the old town is just as worthwhile. Then there is the ever-present Canal du Midi, for rest and relaxation. Ruined castles, book villages, caves, the Cathar fortresses nearby: more than enough for a more than successful holiday.

09 · Our story
A place we like to share.
We fell in love with Moulin d’Alzau in 2015.
Read moreRead less
With respect for its history we developed it into the family home it is today. The façades were restored to their original state, and inside, it lacked nothing in comfort, space or authenticity.
We use the Moulin ourselves with family and friends and make it available for only a limited number of weeks a year. During your stay you can reach us whenever you need to.
