Little charming castle

The position and views from the house are incredible - an array of peaks and Montsegur in the distance. Communication was good and the house was clean with lots of space for everyone. Good quality furnishings in the rooms. Kitchen is a bit tired but that’s no big deal. We were there for a week during a heatwave and the house gets very hot indeed due to its beautifully exposed position - we had fans but no ac and you must keep windows and shutters closed at night to keep out the bugs and light, so it was rather uncomfortable. Some amazing walks in the area and fun activities such as canyoning and accrobranche, though the only place nearby to swim is Lac Montbel, which was soupy and muddy and not at all pleasant. Best for holidays during the spring or autumn I suspect, when you can really enjoy hiking in the mountains. Nearest town of Foix has an interesting castle, and there are supermarkets etc there and in Lavelanet.

What a treat it was to stay in this home. The house is beautiful and shows pride of ownership. You can easily imagine that this house has been passed down generation to generation. This is wonderful place to stay with your family. The owners rightfully ask you to be careful with the hardwood floors and once you see how beautiful they are you will understand why. This is the perfect place to go for a quite family getaway. If you are from the states it like staying in a fariytale. There are plenty of amazing things to do within a short drive. Castles, caves, villages, hiking and more.

Fantastic view in an extraordinary house! Nice rooms and enough privacy. A little walking road behind the house where every now and then walkers/hikers pass, but for us not disturbing. The view from the livingroom is simply fantastic. For a pieceful and relaxing stay we will absolutely come back again!

Spacious and beautifully positioned faux castle on the outskirts of a tiny village. A great place to eat, drink and read. Within easy driving distance of Carcassonne, Toulouse and numerous caves and spas. Highly recommended.

We liked our stay because: -Very nice looking property, inside and outside, including the decor and the furniture -good owner: coopererative, informative, and pleasant personality; morever, he was punctual and proved he could be trusted The furniture could be a little more modern and comfortable but then, the property would loose in charm and character; bedding is however very good All in all, we were happy with the property and would return Montreal, Canada

We had a great time in this house in Roquefixade. The house is very spacious and equipped with everything you need. Beds are good. The house is beautifully located. You have got splendid views from the garden and the large windows and there's a lot to do in the surroundings: nice villages, mountains to walk, hills to cycle.

We had a wonderful time in "La Bastide de Roquefixade". The house is most comfortable in every way. Apart from that: the house tells a story. The symmetry, the fine carvings and the pictures and other attributes concerning Cathar history, the fine colours... The house is beautifully located, viewing the lower land and the Montsegur. As the house borders on woodland, we could start our walks almost in the garden! We made several walks in the neighbourhood and even to the Montsegur. The village of Roquefixade is small but pretty and has its own Cathar “castle” and even a restaurant, where we had tasty (vegetarian) meals. Again and again we were impressed by the unspoilt nature, the serenity and the clear starry sky. “La Bastide de Roquefixade” is a place to remember and to visit again!

This is a very nice and relaxed place. We spent five lovely days at the house very confortable and nicest garden. The Village is is very cute and to get the Castle is a wonderful nature walk, rivers and nature, extraordianry Pyrinees views and Catar country from the house windows and everywhere ......no noice, just birds singing ....and nature silent...xsiiiiiiiiiiiiist....don break it down!
