We recently spent 10 days at Sainte Helene B&B - 8 days on the Real South of France your and 2 days relaxing in Olanzac.
Sainte Helene is a lovely house, beautifully restored and decorated with clever mix of old and new features. Our room was large, very comfortable and spotlessly clean.
The tour was 8 days of absolute enjoyment. It was varied and each day a different experience.
We visited the historic sites of Narbonne and Carcassonne, tasted much wine of the region with Wendy, cooked classic french food with Heather and David. The markets we visited were wonderful as was the visit to a local olive producer.
Long lunches (including a lunch at a Michelin Star restaurant) and dinners, including a picnic by the canal (cooked by Petra and Marcel) were delicious.
Our visit to the lovely village of La Grasse with Carlos followed by lunch at his house was a remarkable day.
Throughout the 10 days Kay and Mark were wonderful, generous hosts/guides sharing their knowledge of Occitanie with ease and humour. Nothing was too much trouble for them to attend to. We can’t thank them enough for such a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Highly recommend.

This was the best Airbnb apartment (actually best apartment or bnb) we have ever stayed at. Everything was perfect. The Apartment was meticulous and clean. The renovation showed a real attention to detail that carefully integrated the historical charm of the property with modern features such as a huge oven/stovetop and tiled bathroom with rain head shower. Mark and Kay were great hosts and from the time we first made contact were very helpful on any travel questions we had when planning our trip to France. Their location in Olonzac is a good central point to explore the region just a short drive to Carcassonne Castle, Narbonne, Minerve, historical Lastors Castles, Cabrespine Giant Caves etc. The local Tuesday market in Olonzac is an essential visit with a vast array of local produce for any foodies. While we were OK to tackle the local roads in our rental Mark & Kay now run tours so if you want to take a day or so off driving and enjoy the great sights with historical commentary (and a long lunch) then this is another good option. Would definitely recommend Sainte-Helene to anyone visiting this region.

We had a nice experience visiting this place. Because of the foreign way of signalization on freeways and local roads we had a long trip from Nice to Olonzac. The google navigation went crazy, but the friendly host Ms. Kay, from the hotel, helped us to get to this beautiful place. It is a good & safe location. English speaking personnel - highly recommended.
