Le Fitou

20 August 2016
We are a family of four (two 7 year old children) and wanted a well equipped, comfortable space with a good pool to spend our two week summer holiday. As the gite slept six we took advantage of inviting some friends and then some family to stay. We wanted a nice environment to relax in by the pool so the kids could play but also be near some areas of interest if we wanted to explore. Le Fitou was the perfect balance of this. We had long lazy days by the gorgeous and generously sized pool and we had many wonderful excursions - suggested by the well-informed owners. Nothing was too much trouble and Roger and Jane were very happy to provide the extra bed linen required for our various guests in addition to our own requirements. Having them next door proved very helpful as they were on hand to recommend tried and tested restaurants, beaches or places to visit. But most of the time we felt that we had the place to ourselves. The property was very well maintained and had everything we required - dish washer, washing machine etc and a well equipped kitchen. The rooms were generous and nicely decorated and there was plenty of room even when there were six people occupying the Gite. We would definitely recommend this Gite and already have and I expect that we will be back soon for another visit.

The property was beautifully maintained with lots of nice personal touches (colourful throws and cushions on the beds, pretty pictures etc) Well equipped kitchen, plenty of storage space for suitcases etc. Lots of information about the area and our hosts were excellent sources of information and only too willing to help out with suggestions to help us have a great holiday, Good local store and restaurant. Plenty of goodies in the fridge to start us off! Good size pool for the swimmers and plenty of beach towels for the more lazy. Highly recommended!

Le Fitou is beautiful, stunning surroundings with a delightful view of the church/clock tower from the garden. The inside is furnished to a high standard and was exceptionally clean on our arrival.

An added bonus was thatJane & Roger left some food and wine supplies in case we weren't able to get to the supermarket. It was a lovely gesture. Once we'd settled and unpacked our hosts invited us for a glass of wine and a bit of an introduction to the area and site's. A lovely surprise was meeting Lupin their friendly dog who paid us a daily visit and was very welcome to us.

The surrounding area has plenty of activities or you can just relax. The village isn't far from anywhere and the roads are well sign posted. Our villa was supplied with a most welcomed & detailed map.

Roger & Jane include leaflets and places of interest to visit.

There is a lovely small restaurant 3 minutes walk from Le Fitou run by Vincent who will take very good care of you.

Overall we had a lovely relaxing stay. Jane & Roger certainly made us feel welcomed. We would recommend their accommodation without hesitation.

Thanks for all your kindness.

We spent a family holiday at Le Fitou in July 2015 and I can honestly say it was one of the best we have had. Le Fitou is a charming and very well-kept property. There were only four of us, but it could have very comfortably accommodated six and it is very reasonably priced. Indeed, it considerably exceeded our expectations. The house is spotless and very well equipped with some nice little touches, including generous basic food essentials on arrival, vases of fresh-cut flowers, good quality linen and towels and plenty of toiletries. Every morning we would stroll to the lovely little village shop to buy delicious fresh bread and croissants. We would be back by the time the coffee had brewed. For an excellent choice of fish, meat, local fruit and vegetables there’s a good supermarket only a few minutes drive away and the gated parking directly in front of the house makes it all very convenient. At the back is a lovely private patio for relaxing and eating al fresco. For our 12 year old twin boys the very well maintained and good size swimming pool was one of the highlights. It is very safe and it is very quiet and peaceful, set in the pretty and well-tended walled garden. Other than on the few occasions when we could persuade the boys to go exploring the nearby towns and countryside they spent most of their time in the pool and rated it 10/10, both for fun and cleanliness. Although shared with the owners, you rarely see them as they are very discreet and only tend to use it when guests are not there. But when you do want to see them, Roger and Jane are fantastic hosts and always happy to provide excellent suggestions of places and nearby restaurants to visit. The white-water canoeing and a privately chartered boat trip on the Canal du Midi were great fun. For a change from the pool, there is some lovely nearby river swimming and the beach that they recommended at Narbonne was very pleasant and uncrowded. It has given us some lovely memories and the boys are already asking when we will be going back …

Acudimos en marzo de 2016 a la zona para ver los fabulosos alrededores del sur de Francia. Tenemos 3 niños y somos muy exigentes con nuestras escasas vacaciones. Y solo puedo decir que fue excelente. Esta ubicado en una localidad tranquila, está limpísimo, los anfitriones-vecinos son encantadores, nos obsequiaron con una primera compra (pan, vino, fiambre, leche, queso, yogurt, etc..) para no preocuparnos al llegar con tener que salir corriendo a comprar y que estuviésemos tranquilos, estaba equipado con toallas, jabón, etc...Cocina totalmente equipada para comer allí si se quiere, piscina preparada para el baño y limpísima (aunque no pudimos usarla pues hacía frío), las camas comodísimas, ....en fin, perfecto. Solo podemos decir gracias, y que seguro que volveremos.
