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.

Not suitable for a family holiday.

As two families with 5 young children between us we wanted somewhere with things to do on site for them. We booked this property as we thought it would be a great place to stay for our children. It is described as a luxury holiday cottage, it is definitely not! We arrived after midnight (having informed the owner we would be arriving late) to unmade beds which we then had to make up for the 9 of us. There were cobwebs, insects and flies everywhere. You can't lock the house. The next day having had a look around we realised the house and grounds were not suitable at all for the children and certainly not as described on here. I will briefly list some of the issues we had. Air conditioning not working, no air con upstairs at all. House absolutely covered in cobwebs, the beds had spiders in. Stairs completely unsafe for children, their is a ledge running along from the top of the stairs, easily accessible to the children with a huge drop to the concrete floor below. The kitchen needs a good clean and updating. Wifi intermittently did not work. Tv did not work. In the grounds there is dog dirt all over, in fact the area right next to the house seems to be the dogs favoured toilet area! On arrival and for the first 1/2 days the pool was too filthy to use. The children's "play area" was dilapidated and unsafe. I could go on but they were our main issues with the accommodation. Delores (Lola) is very welcoming but when we discussed the problems with her on the first day she did not seem to think there was much of a problem. She did have the pool cleaned (we also tried to clean it ourselves) and she had someone attempt to make the stairs safer, although this was still not done when we left early on the 5th day. To summarise this property and the other cottage on site are more suited to students/young travellers and certainly not a family. It is not luxury accommodation in any way.

La propriétaire est très agréable et chaleureuse.

Ayant loué pour les 18 ans de ma fille Lola a eut la gentillesse de faire visiter son château attenant ce qui a ravi ma fille et ses copines. Un grand merci. Le seul bémol c'est qu'on ne puisse pas réserver que pour une nuit .

Excelente experiencia en Familia

Fantástica casa para pasar unos días de descanso en familia. El entorno es idílico y muy tranquilo pero con la posibilidad de hacer actividades lúdicas con los niños como canoas, tirolinas, etc.. Una vez en al casa, la atención por parte de los propietarios es muy buena y cercana. Recomiendo encarecidamente este alojamiennto.

Agréable séjour à la campagne

Gîte idéal pour accueillir nos 2 familles pendant quelques jours. Très belle et spacieuse pièce à vivre, 2 grandes chambres et un dortoir parfait pour les enfants. Lola et Claude sont très accueillantes. Merci pour cet agréable séjour.

Halte détente en famille

Halte de trois jours en pays Cathare, en famille nombreuse (parents et huit enfants). Un séjour parfait ! Maison spacieuse, propre, fonctionnelle dans une propriété pleine de charme (joli parc avec des bancs disséminés). La piscine enterrée et fermée est précieuse en canicule. Les hôtes sont incroyablement gentils et accueillants ! A peine un (petit) moustique à reprocher au séjour ;)

un bel endroit

la Maison est soufflante , et correspond a la description, une énorme piece à vivre très lumineuse la grande baie vitrée donne sur le parc et une vue sur la foret, deux chambres tres confortables et un dortoir ou les enfants se sont beaucoup amusés ( maison de poupées, BD) pas de téléviseur dans le gite mais un ecran et DVD, Wifi , le parc est enorme. Nous n'avons pu profiter de la piscine , elle n'est pas chauffée mais celle ci etait propre et entretenue, les proprietaires nous ont meme fait visiter le Chateau du domaine. Bref nous avons été ravis de notre séjour .
