A pleasant stay in La Fleurie

We had a beautiful stay at La Fleurie. The house and the swimming pool were excellent for our two week stay. The owners gave a perfect support if needed. We are thinking about going back next year.

Your perfect getaway in the Midi!

Our family had a wonderful stay at La Fleurie! Jean Luc and Veronique are so warm and welcoming, providing everything you need to feel at home, and the place is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the tiny village of Mirepeisset and the rich history, culture, and food of the region.

Fabulous

We have just returned from a stay at La Fleurie. What a beautiful place, the house is exactly as described , immaculately clean and very well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. The whole property was spacious and airy. Everything was there for a perfect holiday. The pool and the walled garden is so picturesque and very safe with an array of stunning plants. The owners Roger and Jane were so informative and helpful with their local knowledge, we followed many of their suggestions. We would like to thank them both for helping us make the most of our holiday and for the extra little touches like making sure we had milk etc for when we arrived, much appreciated. The area where the property is situated is what you imagine a typical French village would be, lovely old buildings and just a chilled pace to life. We would definitely return to this property and I would and have already, recommended this property to family, friends and colleagues. An absolute gem of a place. Andrea, Gareth

Very Welcoming!!

I have just spent a week in this property with my family and we had a wonderful time, the gite was perfect for a family holiday, the fact that all the bedrooms have an en-suite is great when travelling as three couples. The service was impeccable from start to finish, as soon as the booking was confirmed by HomeAway Roger was in touch to ensure that we had all the information we required and then as the holiday drew nearer he contacted me to recommend local trips, he put me in touch with an excellent company that does wine tours and I was able to book that prior to arrival. When we arrived, Roger and Jane were waiting for us and greeted us like we were old friends, it was lovely. I had been sent detailed driving instructions to get from the airport and we arrived without any problem. The property itself was amazing, absolutely spotless and equipped with everything you might need to make you holiday enjoyable, there was even an extensive welcome basket with some lovely food to enjoy. Roger and Jane are on hand as much or as little as you need them throughout the holiday and stress that if anything is required you can just knock on their door, be that about the property, a recommendation for a restaurant or directions, they were happy to help. Roger also came and sat with us for half an hour on our first evening for a drink in the lovely garden and gave us lots of information on the local area and what is worth seeing, as well as offering to book some excursions for us. Overall, this was an excellent experience, I would highly recommend it, we all had a fabulous time and were so sorry to leave, we could have easily stayed another week....or moved there permanently!!!

Wunderbares Ferienhaus

Das Ferienhaus in Mirepeisset liegt wunderbar zentral in dem kleinen Ort, trotzdem sehr ruhig. Die Gastgeber Veronique und Jean-Luc waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Als Willkommensgruß war bereits eine Flasche Rosé und einige Kleinigkeiten zum Essen im Kühlschrank, so dass wir in Ruhe ankommen konnten. Das Haus ist sehr schön aufgeteilt für 6 Personen ideal! Ebenso der Pool zur privaten Nutzung war herrlich und sauber. Insgesamt eine tolle Unterkunft! Viele Grüße an Veronique und Jean-Luc!

Perfect base for family holiday

Beautiful house with fantastic hosts! We had a fantastic stay at la fleurie. The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean. There were 6 of us in total; two couples, a baby and a toddler and we had a great holiday. Roger and Jane are fantastic hosts - Roger recommended and booked a restaurant for us in nearby Minerve and it was an unforgettable meal. The perfect base to explore all the nearby sights!

A wonderful stay

La Fleurie is a high quality gite. The house is spacious and nicely furnished. Beds were comfortable and linen and towels were provided. The hosts provided a starter pack; a bottle of wine, beers, breakfast items. This was a lovely surprise. Also there were really useful condiments such as olive oil, balsamic vinegar etc. which meant we didn't have to buy these items. The outside space, which is walled and provides total privacy, gets the sun throughout the day and is perfect for relaxing in the sunshine. The outdoor furnishings are good quality with plenty of parasols to provide shade if required. The hosts were able to provide much local knowledge and made recommendations for local restaurants, all of which turned out to be spot on. I would recommend this gite to anyone and would love to return one day.

Super stay in Mirepeisset

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.

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. Dogs had a great time.

Fabulous holiday

Roger 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.

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.

A fantastic 2 weeks in Mirepeisset!

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.

Super gite in a lovely village

La Fleurie is a very spacious and well equipped gite with a lovely private pool. The welcome package of groceries is the best we have ever found in a gite and it is also equipped with many helpful items like mosquito plugs and picnic cool box etc Mirepeisset is a very nice village with a shop (selling fresh croissants each morning) and a restaurant down by the river which serves good food. There are many very good restaurants in Le Somail - just a five minute drive or a longer walk along the canal. Roger & Jane are the most welcoming and helpful hosts. I would definitely recommend this gite!

A well equipped gite in a lovely location.

We spent an enjoyable week in Le Fleurie during the last week in October. The weather in late October was warm and sunny – between 20 and 25 degrees each day with clear blue skies. Roger and Jane were very welcoming hosts, with lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit. The gite is situated in a pleasant village and it was a treat to be able to walk to the village shop each morning for fresh bread and pastries. A walk of 25 minutes through the vineyard takes you to Le Somail which has 4 restaurants. The gite itself is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The layout of the gite suited our family of 4 but it would also be perfect for 3 couples as each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The garden is very private and consists of an outdoor eating and sun- bathing area next to a private pool. Mirepeisset is only 35 minutes from lovely beaches at Gruissan Plage and Franqui Plage, pleasant fishing villages at Bages and Peyriac de mer, inland you can visit Carcassonne, any of the Cathar Castlles or the lovely village of Minerve. If you like to bike, walk or run (as we do) then you will find lots of trails to explore nearby. Or you might prefer to stumble between vineyards because the place is surrounded by them!

A lovely relaxing week

The property was easy to find and as described, it is a characterful and tastefully presented Barn conversion with lovely pool in a secluded private area. It was well equipped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean in all areas. The owners, Roger and Jane, were there to greet us and had thoughtfully provided everything for an evening meal and breakfast including some rather tasty local beer. They were extremely helpful in pointing out the local attractions, how to get there, where to park etc and also recommended and booked some really good places for us to eat. All this added to the relaxing ambience of the Gite. We have a dog and they welcomed her warmly and before leaving sorted out a vet for the pet passport to be signed off. The Gite is very comfortable and although the September weather was a bit of a disappointment in terms of temperature, (Roger and Jane said it was unusual and like November!), we were warm enough at night without the need for heating. The only issue with the unusually low night temperatures was that the unheated pool was fairly chilly, never gaining enough heat in the day to be comfortable. (I guess in the height of summer it would be an absolute delight!) Roger told us that he would be looking into getting a cover for next year. We visited Carcassonne (our main reason for choosing the area), a straightforward drive and again Roger had recommended a restaurant in the town which was great. We were able to walk through the vineyards to the nearest village on the Canal du Midi for a couple of evening meals, which were both very good. (If late September take a torch to find your way back, however, on a clear night the stars are beautiful and the milky way clearly visible). The actual village of Mirepeissot does have a couple of restaurants, but when we visited they were closed ( I think one opens at the weekend). It does however have a great little shop, a French ‘ Open All Hours’ that provided our morning croissants and bread, 2 minutes down the road. As a base for exploring the localities it is well positioned being just off the main road to ‘everywhere’. Unless you are really into walking a car is essential although there is bus service in the village. I got the feeling that Roger and Jane genuinely wanted us to make the most of our time there and they did this in an open and warm manner. A very relaxing week, Thank you.

Fantastic family holiday!

My husband, son (age 13) and daughter (age 8) and I have just spent 2 fantastic weeks at La Fleurie and we would highly recommend this accommodation and area for a family holiday! The Gite, location and activities went beyond our expectations and is certainly the best holiday we have had in France! The spacious Gite is tastefully decorated and has a 400 year old stone wall and high ceiling which definitely gives it a 'wow' factor! It is clean, well equipped and each bedroom has an ensuite which is ideal after a day at the lake or beach. Outside there is a good size swimming pool (which Roger our host discreetly maintained on a daily basis), plenty of loungers and a garden table and chairs, all contained within a beautiful walled garden making it very private. Pool towels were provided too along with parasols and a cool box for a day at the lake or beach. Our hosts Roger and Jane were very welcoming and extremely accommodating, booking activities for us and offering advice on restaurants and days out and accurate weather forecasts! On our arrival a welcome pack for our evening meal and breakfast (including wine and beer!) was provided and greatly appreciated after a long journey. Mirepeisset is a quiet and very quaint village with a lovely little shop/bakery only a 5 minute walk away where we bought our daily croissants and baguettes! For a bigger food shop a supermarket is only a 5 min drive away. We made the most of having our car and everywhere we visited was between 5-45 minutes away. Our days out that we would recommend include visiting Narbonne to see the tallest/smallest cathedral followed by a walk by the canal and finishing the day off with a delicious cake at the 'Delice Cake' cafe is a must! Kayaking, lake swimming and pedalo boating at stunning Roquebrun! The drive to Roquebrun is spectacular too! We really enjoyed an Olive oil tour and tasting at L'Oulibo which included a treasure hunt for the children to keep them interested. We also visited Fonserannes Locks at Bezier and Bezier town with its floating umbrellas and spotty streets on show in the summertime. We also highly recommend the soft sand beaches and clear seas of Gruissan Plage and La Franqui Plage. Jouarres lake was also very good and fairly quiet with a floating Aquapark for the children. In the evening we ate twice at a lovely local restaurant in Mirepeisset called La Garenne and also visited the Marina at Gruissan to eat in restaurants overlooking the boats.
