Aude Holiday Gite with Pool and garden in Languedoc, Nr Canal du Midi, France - Le Fitou Reviews

A spacious and well equipped Gite in a great location (copy of review on Trip Advisor)
Located within the delightful village of Mirepeisset and with easy access to roads for exploring the many attractions and cities the area has to offer. The historic cities of Narbonne, Beziers and of course Carcassonne (all deserving of a visit) are within 1 hours drive. The property itself has been sympathetically updated with attention to detail and an abundance of tlc. A superbly maintained pool set within a stunning and well maintained garden. The owners, Roger & Jane, could not be more helpful with their recommendations of places to visit and most importantly, eat! Their knowledge of the area is really second to none and made the holiday for us. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Warm welcome (Copy of review on French Connections)
As sometimes happens we arrived a few hours later due to flight delays, luckily Roger & Jane had given us their mobile numbers so knew exactly when we would be arriving via text. We were warmly greeted We’ve always had decent welcome packs at almost all the previous five properties we’ve used in France over the past three years. The welcome pack at Le Fitou was exceptional, thank goodness - as we arrived with nothing. Beer wine Ham, cheeses, pasta, sauces, yoghurts, fruit bread – plenty in fact for an evening meal. We quickly ran out of wine and beers which Roger replenished on our first evening there. Roger also took time out to ask us what we would like to do whilst in the area and gave us plenty of information and maps regarding the village and further afield which was useful to know. Everything you need equipment wise is there for you to use as described and fully functional. Four of us including two 80 year old parents stayed at this property for a couple of nights before spending 8 days at La Fleurie. The area itself is as interesting as it is delightful- visit Narbonne and its Halles (indoor market), Minerve and Beziers are also worth a visit. Would we return to The Winemakers House – Yes of course.

Home from Home (copy of review on Trip Advisor)
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay here with our three boys. It was a real home from home. Absolutely everything we needed was provided for; comfortable beds with beautiful linen, excellent towels, a fully stocked pantry and the most generous welcome pack we've ever seen all in immaculately clean, spacious accommodation. Pool towels and beach towels provided so no need to fill the cases with these. Jane and Roger were welcoming, caring and discrete providing us with lots of useful information about where to go and when, and the boys loved the dogs. There are lots of beautiful places to visit in easy reach, so we had cultural days in Carcassonne, Narbonne and Minerve. Lazy days by the river in Roquebrun and a couple of days at the beach, all interspersed with lots of playing in the huge, clean pool. Many thanks Roger and Jane we had a great holiday at Le Fitou, we hope to see you again soon.

Wonderful Time (Copy of review on French Connections)
We had a wonderful time at Le Fitou. Roger and Jane were excellent hosts, full of interesting information about the surrounding areas and some excellent recommendations of places to see/eat out which we took them up on. The property itself is lovely and peaceful and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We travelled with two small children and the property and outside space were suitable for them. Thanks for a great time!

Fabulous pool and spacious comfortable rooms (Copy of review on Trip Advisor)
In the middle of a heatwave the wonderful long and deep pool was essential. We loved this gite and found lots to do. Staying in reading swimming or painting or out exploring the picturesque villages in the hills. Narbonne only a short drive away. So many really good restaurants in the vicinity. will definitely return

Wonderful family break (copy of review on Chez Nous)
The Gite was of a very high standard and incredibly well equipped. The welcome pack provided was great and ensured we didn’t need to rush straight to the supermarket – a very thoughtful touch that was very gratefully received. Roger and Jane were the perfect hosts and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Their knowledge of the local area was great and helped build a good itinerary for our week. Overall we had a wonderful family break and would certainly return.

A wonderful experience in SW France (Copy of review on Trip Advisor)
Le Fitou, part of The Winemaker's House, can be found in the quiet, but friendly village of Mirepeisset. The standard of accommodation is excellent and the owners, Roger and Jane could not have been more helpful, advising us about places to visit, and restaurants to try. This part of France is an absolute gem,with many historical castles, beautiful villages and vibrant towns eg Narbonne and Carcassonne to visit. We also enjoyed walking along Le Canal du Midi and sampling local wines. I could go on and on about how much I enjoy this place. It's our second visit here, and we will most certainly be back.

Perfect location (Copy of review on Trip Advisor)
After a warm welcome from Roger and Jane we settled into our gite for the week. It was well equipped and spotless. Our hosts had also left us a starter pack of supplies for our first night. The pool area was lovely and again well equipped with beds, umbrellas and bbq. The large pool was surrounded by a well maintained deck area with plenty of room for sun bathing. The bedrooms were large and the beds comfortable. The main bedroom had an en-suite, additionally there was a bathroom upstairs and a toilet downstairs. The accommodation could not be faulted and came with plenty of parking. The location of the gite was excellent. With a general store 5 minutes walk away in the village and excellent restaurants on the canal du midi within a few minutes drive. Wander a little further and there were historic towns to explore and beautiful beaches to keep the children happy. All of these were easy to find thanks to the information pack supplied by the owners. For a relaxing and enjoyable stay we can recommend both Le Fitou and La Fleurie having taken both for the week.

Fantastic Discovery (copy of review on Trip Advisor)
Four heavenly days at The Winemakers House in Le Fitou. A beautiful, spacious, well equipped comfortably furnished gite. A home from home in terms of facilities, plus a large pool, lovely garden, even Sky TV for the heathen. Roger & Jane’s attention to detail was much appreciated, we wanted for nothing. Their warm welcome and arrival briefing meant we had 4 really good days seeing and doing much more than we’d planned. Fantastic location and lots to do, the kids will love it when we return.
