Enjoyed our visits to Le Cite at Carcassonne and the Grotte du Maz d'Azil in particular."
July 2008
"Beautiful setting and affiable hosts. Glorious weather, lovely pool and wonderful birdsong to
wake up to. Who could ask for more?"
August 2008
"A wonderful house and
pool in a great setting. Jeff & Sara were very welcoming and friendly, we felt very much "at home."
The horse riding that Sara recommended was brilliant as was our 2 days of canoeing, definitely worth doing".
September
2008 "A wonderful place to relax. We really appreciated
the thoughtful touches such as the provision of dishwasher powder."
May 2009
"We
all enjoyed our stay. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. The pool was fabulous and hosts very friendly"
June 2009
"Beautiful farmhouse with lovely hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed the
peacefulness - no cars, trains, buses, sirens - very nice to 'sleep in.' Fantastic countryside with lots of
great villages to explore. Would have liked more time to have enjoyed the fabulous pool."
July 2009
"Lovely comfortable place to stay, everything you need. Pool is
excellent. Hosts very helpful and welcoming. Oh not forgetting Annabelle & Tanga who are gorgeous. Hope
to see you again."
August 2009
"Great
place to have a stress free, relaxing holiday. The farmhouse is lovely and the girls enjoyed the pool. Worth the
drive. Thank you."

peaceful; spectacular scenery."

hosts made us feel welcome and we shall always remember this week - thanks!!"
* * *
"Thank you both for an enjoyable stay & for ordering the continuing sunshine.
It was lovely to breakfast outside and I enjoyed dozing under the trees. The countryside was a delight and the accommodation
all one could ask for."
June 2010 "Had a wonderful time, the gite was even better than the photos and description
on the website! Sara & Jeff are very helpful and welcoming. Lovely grounds, great pool.
Enjoyed
the area, highlights were Mirepoix, many of the bastide towns/villages. The Couloubret Spa Baths at Ax-Les-Thermes are
well worth a visit, but costs 15 Euros per person. Thanks very much."
* * *
"Had a lovely,
relaxing holiday. Beautiful countryside and wildlife. Enjoyed cooling off late afternoon in the pool. The
gite is very comfortable and Sara and Jeffrey extremely helpful and friendly."
July 2010
"We have
had a fantastic holiday here at St Victor du Fau. The Farmhouse Gite is lovely, very spacious and the kitchen is
well equipped for those who like to cook and eat at home. The pool is fab, especially after a long, hot day sight-seeing.
Jeff, Sara & Alex are perfect hosts: warm, welcoming and relaxed.
We are an adventurous family and
enjoyed many of the activities on offer in the local area, including swimming on Lac Montbel and karting at Aigues-Vives,
but we would particularly like to recommend 'canyoning' with Mael Loizance of Escalade-Canyoning."
* * *
"We enjoyed our stay - the facilities and space outside were
fantastic for the kids, the kitchen was really well equipped and there was plenty of room for our family. It was value
for money considering peak season - the big pro for us was the proximity for the Tour de France, which we really
enjoyed."
* * *
"We have had a great holiday - the St Victor du Fau Farmhouse is everything
we could have wished for and more. Fab pool, BBQ and lovely spacious rooms - we don't want to leave.
We
visited Lac de Mondely and Montbel - both spectacular but we preferred Mondely for better swimming.
Thank you for
being great hosts and letting us borrow your home for a lovely relaxing holiday.
p.s. excellent cooking too!"
August 2010
"Thank you for a lovely stay and allowing us into your idyllic
life."

"I loved the pool. I also loved playing football
in all the space."
"Loads of stuff to do around the local area including canoeing at Le Vernet d'Ariege;
it was great fun as you were able to swim in the rapids and through fast water in the canoes."
"Great
place for a family holiday - spacious accommodation, peaceful location, lots to do and see in the surrounding area and when
the sun shines, it's even better."
"Peace and tranquiliity to be cherished. Thank you Sara
& Jeff for at least temporarily allowing us to share your home."

"A
wonderful and memorable holiday in a beautiful part of the world. We are all leaving very relaxed and with thanks for
a super time."
