Wonderful stay in a lovely home
We stayed at three lovely rental homes during our trip to southwest France, but Le Fitou at the Winemaker’s House was by far our favorite. We immediately felt at ease in the house, which is spacious, bright and well furnished. All the furniture is extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped and pleasant to work in. The grounds are peaceful and gorgeous.
Véronique and Luc are wonderful hosts. They gave us a warm welcome, made us feel right at home and made a number of helpful suggestions for places to visit in this captivating and historic part of France. They were always available and interested in our day trips but were never intrusive. Truly perfect hosts.
We visited Minerve, Narbonne, Chateau d'Aguilar and Fontfroide Abbey, and enjoyed them all, though the drive up to Aguilar did require nerves of steel from these American drivers :-). Fontfroide Abbey, somewhat surprisingly, turned out to be our favorite spot. The gardens and the setting in a wooded valley are almost stunning as the abbey itself.
We can't recommend Le Fitou too highly and hope that some day we can return.
