About this property
Luxury holiday cottage sleeping 12 in the heart of the Cathar Country
La Maison de Famille is a luxury 250-m² holiday cottage sleeping 12 people in the heart of the unique estate of Château de Fajac la Selve. Its huge 50-m² terrace offers unobstructed views of the forest and the surrounding landscape. On the ground floor, there is a large 100-m² open living space with a kitchen (semi-professional equipment), a dining room, a living room, a toilet, and a laundry room. The decoration: natural atmosphere with industrial and vintage furniture.
On the first floor:
There are 2 large master bedrooms and their respective bathrooms with toilet, and a large dormitory with 8 bunk beds, a bathroom, and a toilet. In the 50-m² dormitory, there is a playing and reading area for children for moments of stillness. The pool is nested in the heart of the cloister of the château. In the elf garden, there is a cabin on stilts, a slide, and a swing. Our pet friends are allowed upon request. The legend says that the moon fell in love with the earth here, on a hill. The family-oriented house for 12 people is comfortable and welcoming in the park of the Château de Fajac la Selve, a protected forest for discovery walks (deer, birds, wild orchids, etc.). There is a pond and a pool in the cloister of the château. Playground for children: cabin on tilts, swing, slide, an area to boules court, soccer, la soule, and badminton. The billiards and pinball machine of the château are available. The video and book library are at your disposal. Bread, croissants, cheese, organic vegetables, and fruits are delivered upon request. Massages available 2 km away. In-home hair dressing upon request. In the house: a semi-professional kitchen, a cellar, a laundry room, etc. Bed and bath linen and cleaning products are provided, a DVD player and Wi-Fi are available. The 35-acre estate is at your disposal. Call this place “heaven” would be a pleonasm. It is located in the Cockaigne country, the Renaissance paradise.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dolores Foin
Hello, I used to be a Castilian and French for non-native speakers teacher, and author of albums for children before I settled in this region. I speak 4 languages fluently and I am interested in history, Catharism, theatre, music, and philosophy. I want my guests to feel home in the château.

This place is a haven of peace, far away from all the vicissitudes of urban life. A forest, a pool, gentle hills as far as the eye can see: everything you need for recharging batteries in a quiet setting. It is perfect for a family or a romantic trip but it is also ideal for a creative escape. Our houses are comfortably and carefully decorated. The village of Mirepoix (17 km away) offers all amenities.
