Excellent property. The house name would be useful on the front gate.

The Gite was very clean and comfortable and we would certainly book it again if we were in the area.

A little gem in the foothills of the Pyrenees

A great appartement built into the hillside in a welcoming hamlet. You could not find a more peaceful location in the high forest. It is a bit of a trip to the nearest supermarket, but the small shop in Vira is great if you forget something and the open Tuesday apéritif’s a great way to meet the locals. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

living as God in France

We had a wonderful week in Vira partly thanks to the picturesque house of Suzanne. The beautiful view, the silence and the privacy in the garden give you a real holiday feeling. This part of the Pyrenees is worth a visit. When you sit on your terrace at the end of the day with a glass of wine and a snack from the barbecue, it feels like living as God in France. We have become fans!

Gîte rustique mais cosy au grand calme bien équipé

Séjour agréable dans un gîte au grand clame. Ambiance plutôt rustique (décoration, pas de lave vaisselle) mais très cosy et bien équipé dans un lieu où on dort bien tant grâce à la bonne literie qu’au calme ou qu’à la fraîcheur des nuits liée a l’altitude des lieux. Seul bémol mais qui ne nous a pas dérangé au final : une chambre sans fenêtre et l’autre qui donne directement sur le salon.

Gîte chaleureux

Le Gîte de Vira est vraiment chaleureux et accueillant, une bouteille de vin nous était offert en plus. Merci Suzanne et Dee! Chaque fois que nous avons eu besoin de précisions nous avons eu des réponses rapidement. Nous avons pu faire de belles ballades et visites sur les chemins des pays cathares, région magnifique et autentique. Nous recommandons ce gîte agréable et frais malgré la chaleur extérieure. A.R.

Gîte à découvrir pour les gens qui aiment le calme et la nature à l'état pur

Gîte très agréable, propre, calme et bien décoré. Nous avons été enchantés de découvrir un rocher en forme de grotte dans notre chambre et l'éclairage qui va avec. A l'extérieur, il y avait beaucoup de papillons. Les gens du village étaient très polis. Vira compte une fontaine pour les grosses soifs de l'été et des sentiers de randonnée à proximité dont un avec de magnifiques gorges. Nous nous sentions en sécurité dans ce petit village de montagne.

Calme

Nous avons passé 10 jours dans un cadre magnifique. Le gîte "l'écurie "est chaleureux et confortable. De part sa localisation, différents sites touristiques (châteaux cathars,...)et activités touristiques (randonnées, cannoying,...)sont à proximité. Point de départ idéal pour se ballader et découvrir cette très belle région. Isabelle et Franck

Perfect escape

This charming, traditional house was just what we were looking for... you never quite know when you book! Situated in the peaceful and picturesque village of Vira with spectacular scenery all around, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There’s plenty to do and see as it’s a great location for walking, cycling, driving off the beaten track, and generally exploring. Other highlights included breakfast on the terrace, trips to the beach, and local wine tasting! The property was very clean and surprisingly cool in the summer heat. I would definitely recommend a rural holiday break here.
