Mr & Mrs Smith

A lovely place to stay, delightfully helpful info from Will and Tilly. Plenty of space for the four of us, definitely good for a family of four to self-cater or be catered for. Mirepoix worth a visit; it's like a film set of a medieval town. Thank you.

Having dinner at the nearby L'Abbaye Chateau De Camon is a must. Arrive a bit early and enjoy a couple of cocktails on the terrace...

You really are in the countryside at the hotel, which was great from our perspective, but be prepared. Sonnac is tiny – there are no shops or eateries at all, so you’ll need to go to nearby Chalabre to buy/eat out. However, Tilly and Will offer an excellent evening meal on weekend evenings – during the summer this is served in the charming garden, and really shouldn’t be missed for a romantic experience on your doorstep. If you’re looking for romantic meals away from the hotel, the nearby Chateau de Camon serves a tasting menu in an old Abbey – great food in a fantastic location.

There’s a great, no frills night market at nearby Puivert down by the lake on Wednesdays during the summer – we took a picnic rug and a corkscrew down to the lakeside beach and lapped up the local produce. For a more private beach and swimming experience, try the lake up at Montbel.

What a wonderful find ; a haven of tranquility and relaxation !

If driving to Le Trésor along the D117 from Perpignan I would strongly recommend the cosy Resto-Cave Le Pichenouille which is on the main road through Maury. The place consists of just one long table, surrounded at all sides by shelves of wine. You can pick your wine from the shelves and drink it during lunch for the same price as it would be to take away. Lunch itself was really tasty and excellent value, however due to the rusty nature of my French I couldn't be totally sure what I was eating! It proved to be the perfect place for a relaxed lunch on the way to Sonnac.
