3 Bedroom Holiday Gite with private pool, nr Canal du Midi in Languedoc - La Fleurie Reviews

Fabulous gite in an ideal location for seeing this beautiful area (Copy of review on French Connections)
A wonderful week spent only scratching the surface of what the area has to offer - castles and history, beautiful villages, dramatic scenery, wine gallore, beaches and outdoor sports etc - ideal for all ages within the family. La Fleurie is a comfortable, well equipped base in a quintessentially french village complete with 'epiceree' and 'taverne' within walking distance for daily croissants. Larger supermarkets are just a few minutes away and were often passed when returning home when needed. The swimming pool is a godsend to return to after a hot day out and about. Roger & Jane have a wealth of knowledge of the area and couldn't be more helpful. The welcome pack with ingredients for are first evening was much appreciated along with the wine and beer. Many thanks for a fabulous week - just wished it could have been longer.

Beautiful gite, perfectly located for numerous activities (Copy of review from Trip Advisor)
We had a wonderful stay at La Fleurie. It is a beautifully converted barn with three ensuite bathrooms and large living area and delightful garden and pool. The space was immaculate when we arrived and a welcome package of food awaited. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Fantastically situated for exploring the region, with activities for all the family, including biking along the Canal du Midi, kayaking, exploring the historical sights and wine tasting. One week was not enough!

Beautifully maintained private home from home, with secure and secluded garden - great for pets and children. The pool was cleaned every day and the patio swept. It's in a great location, with a choice of several beaches 40-45 minutes away. Lovely walks through the vineyards, or along the river and the Canal du Midi. We walked to the local shop each morning for fresh bread and croissants and ate on the patio. Everyone in the village is very friendly. # There are plenty of places to eat, one in the village and many more a short drive away. Roger is a great host, providing help and advice without being intrusive. He and his wife are always on hand if required.

Warm welcome continued (copy of review on French Connections)
Having already been warmly greeted at Le Fitou which is part of the same holiday venue and across the courtyard from La Fleurie, we crossed over to La Fleurie on the Saturday to spend eight nights with our 80 year old parents. This property was a real jewel in as much it was really private and we had access to our own private pool in the rear garden area. Having got used to ‘village life’ in Mirepeisset Roger and Jane gave us plenty of food for thought about what we could see and do for the next week or so. The accommodation was perfectly presented with everything you’d need on this type of holiday including items you would normally have to shop for i.e: Toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, charcoal, firelighters for the BBQ etc. My 80 year old mother fortified by local wine early in the week told Roger that Wild water swimming was on her ‘Bucket List’ result Roger suggested a visit to Roquebrun about 40 minutes drive away to swim in the river. To be fair to her we made the drive to Roquebrun and she actually did swim in the river – another one crossed off. There is plenty to see and do including Wine tasting and beach all within close proximity 20 – 40 mins Would we return to The Winemakers House – Yes of course.

A fantastic 2 weeks in Mirepeisset! (Copy of review on Home Away)
We stayed at La Fleurie for 2 weeks in July. We were greeted on arrival by Roger and Jane and made to feel very welcome at the Winemaker’s House. We are a family of 6 with 4 children aged 11-18 years. We were all slightly anxious about sharing a property site with the owners having had a bad experience elsewhere in France previously. However, on this occasion, we had a completely different experience. Roger and Jane were friendly, unobtrusive but available when required. Roger was able to guide us towards the best possible things to do in the area and we had a number of great days out. This included trips to the beach at Leucate, visiting Abbaye de Fontfroide and Lagrasse, river swimming at Ribaute and a canoe trip at Roquebrun. We also visited Narbonne for its market and explored the canal du Midi on bike and foot. The wider area was also very good for exploring on a road bike. Roger was very helpful in booking a couple of wonderful meals out in canal side restaurants a short walk away at Le Somail. We had also arranged a wine tasting tour and canal trip with Taste du Languedoc which was a great alcoholic day out! The accommodation was clean, modern and well equipped with enough space for 6 of us. Roger and Jane also provide a very nice welcome pack - the best in 11 years of holidaying in France! The nearest supermarket was 10minutes by car. The WIFI on occasion struggled with intensive teenager use! The UK TV channels were also appreciated s the World Cup was on during our stay. The weather was very hot when we stayed and the fans and mosquito repellents were most welcome. Overall, a fantastic 2 weeks and we would have no hesistation in recommending the Winemaker’s House as a holiday destination.

Fab second visit, great location , amazing hosts. (Copy of review on Home Away)
A wonderful holiday again , this time at La Fleurie , a spacious airy well equipped gite with lovely pool ; plus the best welcome pack we've ever had in France, thank-you. Roger and Jane are great hosts, nothing is too much trouble , their knowledge of the local area plus restaurants helped plan our days out. Visits to Roquebrun, Minerve ,Assignan, Narbonne and Leucat beach were all fantastic, plus walks along the canal to Le Somail. Would recommend eating their at L'o a la Bouche , home cooked food with local produce. The week went too quick though!!! hope to return one day.

Fabulous holiday (Copy of review on Trip Advisor)
oger and Jane are great hosts and have thought of everything for a lovely stay. We didn’t have to rush out to get toilet rolls or dishwasher tablets etc, as has happened many times before in other holiday rentals. It’s fully equipped. The pool is gorgeous and a real suntrap, sadly we didn’t get much sun, but as a result we went out exploring and there is plenty to do. Carcassonne is a must do, it’s gorgeous, but wear comfy shoes as theres loads of steps etc, but worth it. La Somail is on the canal and in walking distance, it’s really pretty with about 4 restaurants, all of which are very good. The first day we decided to walk to La Someil there was a big storm on our way back, and Roger contacted us to ask if he could pick us up! You have to agree, that is above and beyond! All in all, this was a fabulous trip, and we would definitely revisit. The location and surrounding areas are great too. We’ve been to quite a few areas of France and this one now holds a warm place in our hearts.

Fantastic gite and location (Copy of review on Home Away)
Immaculately clean, and very well appointed. Fantastic personal pool, cleaned every day. Local village shop for fresh daily bread. Great location for river walks and the Canal du Midi. Restaurants in the village and at nearby villages for variety to suit all budget. Amazing service from the owner, who lives next door, was available but didn't interfere.

Super stay in Mirepeisset (coy of review on Home Away)
La Fleurie is a lovely property, superbly kitted out and very tastefully decorated, in a convenient location for exploring this wonderful area of France. We had a very warm welcome from Roger and Jane when we arrived and were extremely grateful for the selection of food and drink that they had thoughtfully bought for us so that we didn't have to rush off to buy the essentials. The suggestions for days out and places to eat were very useful; I think we managed to tick off all the visits that were recommended, and a fair few of the restaurants. Roger and Jane were keen to make sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful holiday, and they helped us to achieved just that. Particularly grateful to them for booking a vet's appointment for our pooch (as part of the Pet Passport requirements) before we returned to the UK! We would stay again without hesitation if we are ever in this part of France.
