Super Séjour à Mirepoix

Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances dans la maison de Vincent. Celle-ci est remarquablement aménagée, décorée avec goût et très fonctionnelle. La cour intérieure est très agréable et joliment fleurie. La maison est au calme, sur une rue piétonne, et en même temps à proximité immédiate de la place et de ses commerces et restaurants. Pour ne rien gâcher, Vincent s’est montré très accueillant et très réactif quand nous avons eu quelques questions.

Estancia inolvidable

Magnífica casa a escasos metros de la plaza medieval de Mirepoix. La propiedad tiene el carácter y la solera de una casa antigua, pero con todas las comodidades que el viajero moderno desea en sus vacaciones. Las fotografías corresponden exactamente a lo que encuentras al llegar allí. El trato con los dueños ha sido exquisito; son gente educada y con buen gusto. También la atención de Josy, que es quien enseña la casa y está pendiente de que todo esté a gusto de los inquilinos. Perfectamente comunicada, con comercios a dos pasos, y muy cerca de cafeterías y restaurantes. Impecablemente limpia y acogedora. ¡Y qué decir de Mirepoix! La catedral de San Mauricio, su maravillosa plaza porticada, el mercado nocturno y la fiesta del mejillón, el mercado de brocantes del domingo y el gran mercado de los lunes... Una experiencia inolvidable, que aconsejamos y que sin duda repetiremos.

Better than we imagined!

This is a great property literally steps from the mid evil square of Mirepoix. The location couldn't be better with a Carrefour express just a block or so, a butcher almost across the street and many charming restaurants and shops in the square. The property is exactly as the photos show. It is extremely well equipped, very comfortable and immaculately clean, We were 2 couples who stayed for one week and the accommodations and layout of the house were perfect. Each couple had thier own floor - each with beautiful, large bedroom and bath. We were slightly concerned about only having street parking, but there was always plenty of parking places very near. Josey met us and was delightful and very helpful. We recommend this property wholeheartedly!

Lives up to all expectations

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!
