This is a homey little hotel in a quaint Cathar village. From the rooms to the compelling proprietor Natalie herself, there's nothing boring and cookie-cutter about this place. It's a great location. The area has interesting history, villages, vineyards and quiet roads for cycling. The Midi Canal is little more than a stone's throw away, with remarkable Carcassone at only... More

Looking for a great place in a very quiet setting? Friendly service, great locale and close to a large variety of interesting things to do and see? Then I would recommend getting off of the beaten path and spending some time in the quiet village of Azille and staying at La Dolce Vita. Not what I would really think of... More

I do not have a lot of experience with B&Bs. I generally prefer small hotels when I travel. I feel always a bit strange staying in someone's house, but none of that happened at Natalie's La Dolce Vita. The house is great, old charm, beautifully renovated and decorated, has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is located in... More

We had a very nice time at the Dolce Vita. We were very well taken care of with a fanastic evening meal which took into account all of our fussy eaters. Our children really enjoyed the cats and playing with their new friend. The town is peacful and relaxing and is in a nice part of the country. Thanks again.... More

There are three things that make this place so good. First is the excellent hospitality shown by the owner Natalie. She is so friendly and obliging, helping out when our French did not stretch far enough. Second are the cosy rooms, each decorated in a charming, artistic and highly individual style with names like “Safari” and “Moroccan”. Our room “Boudoir”... More

Haddy9 and Dr.P have hit the nail on the head! We first discovered Azille and La Dolce Vita in 2002 and have stayed and eaten there many times and never been disappointed. It is unique and reflects essentil Azille. It has character,warmth, good food and wine. You will have a very peaceful stay. We've come to love Azille so much... More

The house is an interesting "rabbit's warren", decorated in themes. I stayed in the safari room, complete with faux tiger skin rug and other "tongue-in-cheek" items. Clearly meant as a bit of fun, but the practicalities were taken care of...the bed was comfortable and the room quiet. I had a great night's sleep. Natalie is passionate about food. She cooks...

La Dolce Vita is a perfect reflection of the persona of Seattle-born owner, Natalie Trent. The rooms are decorated in a very quirky way and fit into an 18th century house in an almost organic way, as if they have grown there. I had the Safari Room and friends, the Boudoir. As well as being a haven is what is... More
