Family friendly, outdoor fun in a beautiful part of the world.

Overlooking the river Arac, our gite has a fully equipped kitchen, two pretty double bedrooms and a comfortable sitting room. French windows open onto a private garden and al fresco dining area, where the only sounds to disturb you are of the river flowing gently by, birdsong and evening crickets. We have a swimming pool, picnic area with bbq, a river terrace and a safe playground for children. We are based in the Regional Natural Park of Ariege so are surrounded by beautiful and unspoiled countryside which is a fantastic backdrop for the many activities enjoyed in the area. Walking, horse riding, kayaking, caving and cycling are all pursuits you can take advantage of. Set within the large gardens of Maison Esmeralda, Gite Esmeralda is an ideal location from which to explore the many sights and towns popular in the region. Toulouse is just an hour and a half away and the towns of Foix and Mirepoix, with its idyllic medieval centre are also nearby. A very popular Prehistoric park, many well known prehistoric caves and even an underground river boat ride also make for great days out.

nice place
nice apartment near a small river in a rural mountain region. Good support from the Mike who was renting the place. Lots of information on what to do in the region present. We liked the hiking in the surrounding.

Ontzettend netjes en super aardige eigenaar
We hebben genoten van onze vakantie. Prachtige omgeving. Behulpzame en attente eigenaar. WIFI was niet altijd even stabiel. Voor ons geen probleem maar voor onze tienerdochters meer. De bedden waren niet heel comfortabel, voor ons geen probleem, maar iemand met rugklachten misschien handig om rekening mee te houden?

Wonderful gite with lovely hosts
We were here in early august 2021 and enjoyed the place tremendously. Right next to the river in a lovely garden, with our own private space. The hosts were very welcoming, giving us all the information we needed but also giving us our privacy. We will definately be coming back here someday!!

Retro-Charme fĆ¼r Individualisten und Naturfreunde
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in dem HƤuschen von Familie Redmonds. Es ist liebevoll und individuell eingerichtet, inklusive BettwƤsche und HandtĆ¼cher. Das idyllische GrundstĆ¼ck bietet mehrere Gelegenheiten zum drauƟen essen, hat Zugang zum Fluss und Schaukeln fĆ¼r die Kinder. AuƟerdem nutzen unsere Kinder den groƟzĆ¼gigen, erfrischenden Pool ausgiebig, da es sehr warm war. Da wir selber keine Haustiere haben, war es fĆ¼r unsere MƤdchen eine groƟe Freude, nach drĆ¼ben gehen zu dĆ¼rfen, um mit Hund und dem sĆ¼ĆŸen Kater zu spielen. Die Vermieter sind hilfsbereit, unkompliziert und sprechen Englisch und sogar etwas Deutsch!! Praktischerweise fanden wir in der Wohnung sƤmtliche Informationen fĆ¼r alle mƶglichen Wanderungen und AktivitƤten der Umgebung. Vielen Dank nochmal an Familie Redmonds! Fam. Fƶrster aus Weimar

heureusement que le site eĀ“tait trĆØs beau... parce que le reste...
- les photos de la maison paraissent bcp plus belles quĀ“en rĆ©alitĆ©. Rien Ć  voir en arrivant. -Ce nĀ“est pas une maison entiĆØrement privĆ©e, sinon quĀ“ell est dans la propiĆ©tĆ© dĀ“une autre maison. Donc pas de privacitĆ©. -Personne ne nous a prĆ©venu quĀ“il y avait un chien. Nous, par contre, avions bien dit que nous y allions avec les notres. Ce fĆ»t un problĆØme puisque les notres ne tolĆØrent pas bien dĀ“autres chiens. -La maison sentait trĆØs fort car elle nĀ“avait pas Ć©tĆ© ventilĆ©e et de plus les cendres de la chaudiĆØre non nettoyĆ©es. Tout le monde sentait le fumĆ©. -pas possible dĀ“utiliser la piscine pendant notre sĆ©jour, LĀ“eau Ć©tait bcp trop sale. -etc etc etc
