Lovely spot
Wonderful views and such a quiet secluded spot. Very rural, but with plenty to do in the vicinity. Fabulous hosts.
A wonderful week
Accommodation is more spacious and light than the online pictures. Beautiful view from the pool but also from the patio at the front of the property. The farmhouse is well equipped and comfortable for our 2 families (4 adults and 4 children under 8) . Good communication with owners before arriving and throughout our stay.
Fabulous
A wonderful two week stay. Fantastic views, lovely pool and all the amenities you need
Very friendly and welcoming hosts in Sue and Terry and we would all love to return
Thanks for being great guests and leaving La Fermette in such good order - really appreciate that. Hopefully we can welcome you back again some time. Regards, Terry and Sue.
Wonderful holiday!
Comfortable, well equipped house in a beautiful rural setting. The outside area is superb with magnificent views to the Pyrenees. Terry and Sue are lovely hosts - helpful, friendly and generous. The area has lots of events and lovely towns to visit. We had a wonderful holiday.
Thank you for being such great guests.
Superb
Well maintained and comfortable. Perfect for our needs.
Beautiful rural setting, with fantastic pool and views to the Pyrenees
Our stay at La Fermette, Generville was very relaxing and the property was well suited for our family (4 adults, 2 young children).
Inside the property was a good standard, comfortable bedrooms, well appointed kitchen and nice dining rooms and lounge. Well stock library and some books/games for the kids.
But outside is where the property excels. There is outdoor space to eat at the front and rear of the property - wonderful views out the front, cool shade at the back. Then there is the fantastic pool with summer kitchen including BBQ and pizza/log-fired oven. It made a great place to relax with the family and the views from the poolside stretched out all the way to the Pyrenees - beautiful!.
Sue and Terry are welcoming, friendly hosts and were really helpful - including doing a food shop for us before we arrived which made settling in a breeze. They have 4 chickens who roam free and provided us with a bounty of eggs. A jar of Sue's homemade jam, garden picked herbs and local fizz were also waiting for us on arrival.
The local area has plenty to enjoy - highlights were swimming and pedalos at Lac Montbel, visiting Mirepoix (which is lovely and has great places to eat/drink and a brilliant Monday market), Chateau Montsegur, the church in Vals (dug into the rock!) and the dinosaur museum at Esperaza.
There were a couple of bike we could use and these were great to get out for short rides and explore some of the smaller nearby settlements and viewpoints.
Would highly recommend for those looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday, away from it all and a pool to relax beside.
Thanks Sue and Terry!
So pleased you enjoyed Domaine de Generville as much as we do.
