Maison de Caractère Avec Piscine Pour un Séjour au Calme

Loved the property and wonderful swimming pool. Weather was very hot and the children spent a lot of time in the pool. We hadn’t been to this part of France before and really liked the location of the property as there were plenty of things to do nearby. Hosts (Jean-Luc and Veronique) were fabulous and although living in the adjoining property they were very discrete. We would certainly consider visiting again!!

Very warm welcoming reception from hosts Jean-luc and Veronique.Beautiful and spotlessly clean house. Very well maintained garden and outdoor space. Pool was really good size although relatively deep even at shallow end. The only air conditioning is mobile fans for the bedrooms only this was a struggle for the second week as temperatures were in the 30s it made sleeping very difficult. I think you can pay extra for an air conditioning upgrade. Jean luc and Veronique live next door but are very unintrusive yet available if needed this was not a problem for us at all. The village itself is quaint and quiet. On a Sunday night there is a van selling burgers you need to pre order or arrive at 6.30pm to secure. On Wednesday night there is a pizza van again pre ordering is recommended. The bistro in the village Bistro de la placette was delicious it probably served us the best meal of the holiday the menu changes weekly.The hosts were on hand to recommend restaurants/ days out. We visited Olonzac market, Narbonne, Béziers, Carcassonne and Gruissan and other smaller villages hiring a car is a must. The nearest village is Le Somail where there are a few more restaurants. It is walkable from the village via a short cut.( approximately 25 mins) worth a visit. As a family we hired bikes and cycled Le canal du midi to Homps again worth a visit due to the lake and access to water sports. Overall we had a very relaxing holiday with a good mix of sightseeing and days outside at the pool

A wonderful house, in a superb location, very comfortable, lovely cool living area to relax during the heat of the day, our children so enjoyed the pool and many pool toys, plenty of space to relax, and three areas for dining. Rooms were excellent, comfortable beds, just to note the Aircon, if required, is portable units you set up yourself through windows, but work well, fans available in each bedroom also. Location was in small village, with a shop that sells fresh bread, two restaurants plus a food truck (on certain days) all within easy 5min walk, plenty of other restaurants within short drive, and lots of places to visit, recommend Minerve - medieval village. We also experienced July 14th fireworks from clock tower in Capestang upon suggestion from Jean Luc and Veronique, who helped and answered questions when needed, but left us alone rest of the time. Worth reading through their restaurant and market recommendations too. We drove to Gorge du Brian, very neat Minerve and walked to the river for swim - highly recommended with older children, not that well signposted when your close to it, but trust google maps, enough water to swim in July.! and v refreshing after the 20min hike in heat.

We had a lovely stay. The house is clean and as described. Jean-Luc is very helpful and met us on arrival to show us around. He was always available if we needed any assistance but also he and Veronique were very discreet.the pool is amazing and the garden is stunning. The village is small with one small shop and a lovely restaurant within a few minutes walk. There are plenty of supermarkets within 5/10 mins drive and many beautiful places to visit. Highly recommend Les Halles market in Narbonne. We would love to return to this beautiful area.

Wonderful gite with exceptionally accommodating hosts. Perfect for a family of five. Would return without hesitation.

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.

We had an excellent time staying at this residence. Very clean, extremely kind and considerate hosts (Roger and Jane) - and very, very helpful people with great tips. The pool was great and there was alot more to do in this region than what we had expected (we are glad that we spent 2 weeks and not just one).

Great hosts, great house, pool is awesome! We had a great holiday.

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!

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.
