Pecharic-et-le-Py holiday lettings

Beautiful views and excellent gite. Everything was spotless and worked brilliantly. If anything the photos of the property online didn’t do it justice. It’s very spacious. The perfect spot to watch the soaring birds. Lovely walks round about and a gorgeous pool.

A beautiful apartment in a beautiful town. Parking just across the road from the apartment was always really easy, and even on Sunday evenings when we needed to park away from the square because of the (amazing) market on Monday mornings, we always found a good place to park - for free. We were warmly welcomed by Chantal on arrival, after good communications. The apartment itself is not just as good as it looks in the pictures, it’s much better!! The living room/kitchen area is really spacious, with a lovely, very comfortable huge sofa, and a stylish and practical kitchen. The decor is very pleasant, with some antique pieces of furniture mixed in with new. The location is fantastic - overlooking the pretty main square with its many cafes, restaurants, bars and little shops. There are two little balconies, the only ones on the square, so pleasantly breezy. We ate out six times in Mirepoix, but also stayed in and cooked six times, which was also fun, with an excellent supermarket with a butchery counter a couple of minutes walk across the square, with a larger supermarket on the way out of town, plus boulangeries on and around the square. We never found the square noisy at night, nor the next door Cathedral, which is beautiful and worth a visit. The rest of the apartment is great, with a laundry room, good sized bathroom with a big efficient shower, two bedrooms, both with plenty of storage and hanging space. As you can tell, we loved it here and hope to return!

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at La Prade. The farmhouse and cottage worked brilliantly for our 2 family group of 4 parents and 5 children (15-23 years old). The farmhouse and cottage were both well maintained and comfortably furnished. The kitchen had all we needed for catering purposes and with the cottage as well plenty of fridge space. The outside eating area under the wisteria is perfect and the grounds are beautiful. The pool is huge and has plenty of loungers plus some parasols. The table tennis and darts were a great addition too. Sally and Andrew the owners were incredibly helpful and very kindly allowed us a late checkout on our final day as our flight was in the evening. They also collected our food order from the supermarket at Mirepoix on the day we arrived as we were arriving late. Whilst at La Prade we hired bikes for 2 days and used the nearby cycle track to explore the area. We also visited Carcassonne, Lac Montbel and Montsegur (although unfortunately we didn't see the stunning views due to low cloud). We also visited the nearby medieval town of Mirepoix several times. In summary this is a fantastic farmhouse in a beautiful location and we would thoroughly recommend it.

The gite was a really good size with everything we needed and great facilities. The pool was clean, warm and well cared for. Garden and immediate area were lovely and we really enjoyed the Ariege region. Paul and Priscille were fantastic hosts, and really went out of their way to help cater for our son who uses a wheelchair. We loved the place!

This property is in an ideal location just steps from the square. We were greeted by Josie who was warm and welcoming and available if needed. The house itself has three stories and while the steps are many they are small and worth the climb! The rooms are as shown and we were delighted with the beds. There is plenty of room and we were very content. We appreciated having washer/dryer available and the wifi worked well. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. You won't regret this accommodation or the village of Mirepoix as a destination. We have been to many regions in France and this was a highlight, despite the poor weather. As someone said to us on market day, the spirit in this place cannot be matched. We stayed for a week and used it as a home base to explore each day. It's an easy day trip to the caves (south of Foix and really worth seeing), to Carcassonne (loved the castle), the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Thank you Vincent and Josie!
