Polfages French Gites between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Aude, France - Calmont Reviews

We have just returned from having the most fabulous week in Polfages.

On arrival we were met by Andrew & Jo our hosts who showed us around the property that was to be our home for our stay and home it truly was as we were treated so well

There was a fresh welcome pack in our beautiful gite with everything from homemade jam to eggs from Mrs Peckett their hen

The gite is reflective of the amount of hard work that they have put into it.

The views are something else I felt totally relaxed watching the daily sunrise and wonderful sunset in the evenings over a few glasses of wine

We planned on eating out locally however after experiencing our arrival meal on the first day we ate with Jo, Andrew and their lovely daughter for the rest of our stay as Andrew is a brilliant cook who served us a variety of food including local dishes

We made firm friends with the family's 3 lovely dogs and I had so much of a soft spot for Rufus I could have taken him home with us

Andrew provided us with lots of useful info on the history of the area with some great advise for days out etc

We travelled within the hour to a fab beach in Narbonne and also went and spent the day in Carcasonne

The local town of Mirapoix was steeped in history and so worth the visit

We have now returned back home having made firm friends with this lovely family and can't wait to plan a return visit for next year

I am reluctant to spread the word as we want to keep this hidden gem to ourselves

Thanks again for our wonderful stay
