Summary: It's a nice place to relax with friends in the nature

Nils F. Aug 9, 2023 09:38:45 PM

Summary: The villa is a magical place - that much is clear from the pictures. It has a palatial amount of space, antique furnishings throughout, and a luxurious pool. You see what you get. What you can't see is how the house (and of course, its owners) makes you feel straight at home. We could feel how this place has brought decades of joy to adults and children, and we're glad to have added a few memories of our own. Thanks Sebastian, Nathalie, and Gégé!

Summary: This is a wonderful property with a lot of love & attention to detail put into it. The house is grand but is very very comfortable & spacious. I have never been in a holiday property so well stocked. It has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. If you like to read don't bring any books. There are lots & lots of books to suit most tastes. We were a family party of nine from age eight to 74. We all loved eating out on one of the terraces for breakfast swimming in the wonderful pool & having dinner on the covered terrace in the evening under candlelight. After a hot busy day in Carcassonne it was lovely to come back to the peace & tranquillity of Le Merviel. My eight year old Grandson echoed how we all felt when he said the day before we left "I don't want to leave this house". We left for another property in another area as this special house w as already booked for the second week. Thank you Sebastian for being so easily accessible & supportive. Also to the lovely Nathalie & Gerard for their support. You do a great job with the house & grounds.

Summary: Five adults - three 20 something girls - and my (slightly older 😜) husband and I had a wonderful time here at Le Merviel. My husband had to work during the day but the wifi - as promised - was fantastic making it super easy. The girls made the most of the gorgeous pool and we all made frequent trips to mirepoix with its fab cafes and vintage/junk shops. This is France as you imagine it to be! Sebastian was always quick to respond with any queries and Nathalie and Gerard - who welcomed us to the house - were super helpful too. We’d love to come back - but for longer next time!!

Summary: We ve spent a very very nice in your country house, thanks a lot for your hospitality and your very tipical house

Neila B. Aug 15, 2020 08:09:26 PM

Summary: What a lovely home and a great holiday had by 2 families with their teenage daughters. Sebastian couldn’t have been more helpful with the booking and checking all was okay after we arrived. Lovely pool, garden and house. Especially nice kitchen which was big enough for everyone to be in and cook together.

Summary: We stayed here with our two teenage girls with grandma for a week, and a wonderful week it was. The house was so cozy and the yard so welcoming that we didn't really see a need to go anywhere the first couple of days. It's a magical house with lots of rooms to explore and a warm, welcoming kitchen we spent a lot of time in. Nicely stocked with plenty of towels, kitchen utensils, patio furniture, stereo with I-pod dock, movies and books! The house is filled with books, some of us were racing time to finish our novels before we left. We spent hours playing badminton and jeu de boules in the back yard, and had our day meals in the back yard. The children had a fun day riding horses at the horse farm down the street. We visited the local caves and towns, really enjoyed Toulouse. We really recommend this house, one of the nicest, most fully furnished houses we've stayed in.

Summary: Our group of 10, aged 1 to 70, stayed at Le Merviel in October 2013. Two weeks wasn’t long enough in this grand, yet intimate country home in a region mostly undiscovered by guidebook crowds. Perhaps it’s less trespassed because rail lines don’t reach this tiny village. But the SNCF is easily accessible. We caught a train into Toulouse to amuse our sons and made a pleasant day of it. You’ll want a car for day trips to nearby ruins, medieval villages, and prehistoric caves. (Don’t make our mistake. Skip Andorra.) Our sense of human history was reshaped by a guided English-language tour of 13K-year-old cave drawings at Niaux. Stirring, especially for Californians like us who think the Gold Rush happened a long time ago. We broke up our adventures with long stints sunning on the patio and feasting on our farmers’ market finds. We toasted many return visits together. Nowhere in France have we enjoyed lovelier scenery. Picture a quilt of farms beneath castle-topped foothills and the Pyrénées just beyond. Tony has wonderful suggestions for hikes, sights, etc. Take him up on as many as you can. But first, book it.

Summary: This is a wonderful house! Great kitchen, lots of space, terrific book collection, beautiful grounds, and even a piano! We happened to arrive just as the cherries on the tree in the back yard reached perfection, so we had bowls full of cherries every day. It looks as if some lucky travelers a little later this summer will enjoy a bumper crop of pears. There were six of us traveling together, and we all love to cook. The kitchen is well equipped, and it is designed so that several cooks can work at the same time without being in each other's way. There are beautiful and interesting places to go in every direction, and there is also plenty to keep you occupied at home if you simply want to relax. We particularly enjoyed the prehistoric paintings in the Niaux Cave, about an hour away. (English tours are available.) Before visiting the cave, we spent a couple of hours at the Prehistoric Park about 10 minutes away from the cave, and we were all glad that we had been to the park first, so that we knew more about what we were seeing in the cave. The park has lots of activities and information for children, too. We also spent a wonderful day in Albi, with its amazing cathedral and Toulouse-Lautrec museum, and a fun morning at the market in nearby Mirepoix. Eric dropped by several times to make sure everything was ok, and we enjoyed talking with him. This is an excellent place to spend a vacation!

Summary: We've just spent 3 weeks in Merviel; back to France from Canada for a family reunion to celebrate my parents' 50 years anniversary and we very much enjoyed our stay there. The house is located about an hour away from Toulouse and Carcassonne and only minutes away from Foix, Mirepoix and Pamiers. It was just the perfect spot for us, traveling with small children, with its huge park and swimming pool. The house was large enough to nicely accommodate the 10 of us without having to be in each other's face all the time. Each bedroom has very high ceilings (so do have the vast majority of the other rooms as well), and is simply, yet nicely, decorated with vintage country furniture and accessories. Each has also very large windows over the park and its beautiful mature trees or over the surrounding hills. You can see and feel how this house was built and rearranged by its successive owners to now accommodate the needs of 21st century travelers without loosing its 19th century unsophisticated country charm. The kitchen is the perfect example of that evolution with the cohabitation of large beams and counters made from logs and raw wood (reminiscent of times long gone when this room was used a stable or a barn) and the state-of-the-art gas range that will please the most elaborate cook. This house has a soul, as we say in French, and it is a perfect haven for those seeking a peaceful spot in an original and preserved country environment. It didn't take long for all of us (regardless of our French, Polish, Italian, Catalan or Canadian origins) to feel at home in this house. Sports enthusiasts will love the small hilly roads and trails around Merviel for cycling, jogging or hiking; sailing amateurs will enjoy Montbel's lake, 1/2 hour away from the house for a great sail with a breathtaking view over the "Pyrénées ariégeoises"; food lovers will be delighted by the (fresh) produces available directly from local producers (right next door in Merviel or on any of the public markets in nearby Mirepoix, Foix or Pamiers); history lovers will have plenty to see with the nearby "Chateaux Cathares", Mas d'Azil and many other places... Finally, a word on Eric, who takes care of the house in the absence of its owners, and Nathalie, who we hired during our stay for housekeeping and laundry. Both were very helpful, efficient and discrete and helped us make this stay in Merviel a family success. Hoping to return there one day!
