Polfages where the mountains meet the sea, 3 Gites With Pool And Stunning Views

We have spent 7 years looking for our dream house and location, now that we have found it we want to offer you in Domaine de Polfages the chance to enjoy the best standards found in English country cottages with the lifestyle that can only be found in the South of France. With in an easy drive of Carcassonne and Toulouse and only 15 minutes from the historic town of Mirepoix

With a location we fell in love with it really is one of the most relaxing and beautiful places we have ever seen. Domaine de Polfages is an idyllic location for your holiday. Situated overlooking rolling hills with views over to the Montagne Noir on one side and the Pyrenees on the other. It offers a holiday that can be both relaxing and action packed.

Domaine de Polfages is ideal if you just want to sit by the pool and relax taking in the stunning views or if you want to make the most of you time in the region. With the beach just over an hour away and the mountains the same you can truly get the best of both types of holiday.

Mazamet is 1 of the 3 gites that we offer our guests, each of the gites are individual units allowing our guests their own private space. However one or all of the gites can be rented for larger parties allowing us to take groups of up to 14 people. The gites have been configured to allow large groups to be together during the day but have their own space if they want in the evening.

Our gite Mazamet is made up of an open plan 1st floor with a well equipped kitchen and dining area and a comfortable lounge area. The lounge contains a wood burning stove for those cooler evenings and leads onto the terrace and BBQ area, where you can live the alfresco lifestyle whilst relaxing with the stunning views. You can access the garden and pool from the terrace.

The second floor consists of 3 very large twin or double bed rooms. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom.

All the bedrooms are designed to the highest standard of comfort and with the extra space in each bedroom they are all both light and airy.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Our favourite place to relax and unwind
We absolutely love Polfages and everything that this wonderful place brings. Our third family visit in three consecutive years and we will book again very soon for next year. Thank you Jo and Andrew and Jasmine and all the animals for another perfect holiday. This gorgeous place has so much to offer with its countryside location, great weather, 360 degree views, easy access to the sea and mountains, brilliant amenities and amazing hosts to name but a few things. We visited Ax-Les-Thermes which we would recommend as the drive itself is beautiful to the Pyrenees, and the thermal baths are well worth a visit. Our two sons (8 years old) enjoyed the hot baths, even though they couldn't dive bomb in them! We made another trip to Lac de Montbel which being only about 40 minutes away is a lovely lake to spend time on the beach and in the water. It is easier to drive to the North part than the South. Another day trip was to a lake just south west of La Cite in Carcassonne which is amazing for children with lots of inflatables, slides, zip wires and so much more. Definitely recommend going and will be returning next year for a full day and take a picnic. Belpeche is a lovely village nearby with a fab bakers and butchers and I am told you can canoe on the river from there. Mirepoix market is definitely worth a visit on a Monday as they sell absolutely everything! This is a quiet, rural location and you definitely need a car to explore, but as a family we cycled, walked and ran around the local area and this is probably our favourite area of France having visited quite a few over the years. There are lots of day trips to do in the area, of if you like sunbathing then the garden and pool are perfect and have the most amazing views. Thanks again to the Frith family and we miss Carmen, Rufus and Dipstick and the boys want to Facetime the dogs and cats!!! See you in 2018!

A hidden gem
One of the prettiest locations we have found in our years visiting France, perched on a hilltop, surrounded by rolling countryside and mountain views to the North and South. We loved Polfages so much last year, that we immediately re-booked for summer 2016 upon returning to England, and will be booking flights and organising diaries for summer 2017 before someone else gets in there first. We absolutely love staying at Mazamet, and once again the place was beautifully clean, well decorated and stocked ready for our visit. The gite is so relaxing and calm, and we love the views from the bedrooms particularly waking up to sunshine coming through the shutters. It is very useful having three bathrooms, and all the rooms are a very good size with very comfy beds and lots of towels and everything required for a comfy stay. The kitchen has everything you need to cook every day, the children enjoyed the pizzas made by Andrew and Jo and especially the baking and puddings on offer. The weather was glorious we spent most of the week by the pool and in the garden, but we enjoyed our daily drive to Mirepoix for provisions, and we did drive to Lac Montbel one day to swim in the lake and sit on the beach, so well worth a visit and probably only 40 minutes’ drive from the house. Castelnaudaray is well worth a visit and the drive there is very pretty. My husband spent all week cycling and hired his bike from a local company which for the second year has been excellent with the bike being dropped off and picked up from the house. Andrew was very kind again to take delivery of this for us on the day before we arrived. We didn’t do as many day trips this year, but Carcassonne is lovely, as well as Narbonne and a trip to the Plage. We watched the Medieval procession in Mirepoix which was very authentic, and some amazing costumes, music and street acts. The boys loved meeting Dip Stick and talked about nothing else for the last year but Carmen and Rufus and Sebastian (please get another guinea pig before next summer?!), as well as wanting to see Andrew and Jo again and take advantage of their wonderful hospitality. Andrew and Jo are so welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much for them, to ensure you enjoy your stay in their beautiful home. We can’t wait until 2017 when we can return again.

Site agréable mais gite vieillissant et photos non contractuelles
Bon accueil du propriétaire ,Gite pour 6 spacieux, bonne literie mais vieillissant et peu entretenu . Pas de machine à laver, aucune chaine de télévision en français, Piscine non chauffée (21 à 24°en septembre) Paiement obligatoire en livres sterling ce qui a occasionné des frais bancaires. Présence d'animaux , chiens poules et chats.

Prachtige omgeving, rust en natuur
Na alle lovende recensies over deze gite, viel de accommodatie ons wel wat tegen. Het huisje was niet erg schoon, het afwerkingsniveau liet te wensen (waterkraan verkeerd om gemonteerd, scheuren in tegelvloer badkamer, handvatten zaten los etc.) en we hadden geen prettige (lig)stoelen op het terras dus die hebben we bij het zwembad weggehaald. De eigenaar is alleraardigst maar we hebben hem maar 2x kort gesproken. Hij kwam niet even uit zichzelf informeren hoe het met ons was. Zijn honden daarentegen kwamen heel veel in en bij ons huis, wat we niet altijd even prettig vonden. De locatie van het complex is prachtig en we hebben leuke uitstapjes gemaakt naar o.a. Mirepoix (markt), Carcassonne en de grotten (de la Bouiche).
