A beautiful hotel in a great location. Parking is a pain but the owner and his staff were very helpful in this regard. We stayed in an ensuite family room ( 1 dbl 2 sgl beds) on the top floor. It was a perfect size and layout for us with aircon, WiFi, mini bar, bathrobes and room safe. It is up a couple of flights of stairs but the staff helped carry luggage. The room had a small balcony overlooking a tiny central courtyard which was a nice feature but it faces the balcony of another room only a couple of metres away. The only English language TV channel was BBC news which disappointed the children but not really an issue. Beds were comfortable and it was fairly quiet given its location which is perfect, situated right in the heart of town. This means though that there is no vehicle access to the building for guests. When we arrived there was a festival in town and the nearest parking we could find was 10 mins walk away. After checking in the owner showed us where we could pull up a couple of minutes away to unload and one of his staff took our luggage front their to our room. He then showed us where we could park in the hotel owned garage about 3-5 mins walk from the hotel. There is a charge for this.||Overall staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel is run to a high standard and I would...
Read moreLa Maison des Consuls is in itself a destination! I've traveled the world and this is the most exquisite accommodation I've experienced yet. Centrally located in the heart of Mirepoix, the hotel is at walking distance from all the restaurants, historical points of interest and modern conveniences. The hotel itself is a major piece of the XXII century of Mirepoix. Rooms are beyond expectations in terms of extreme luxury, architectural beauty and sophistication. No wonder it is in the worldwide Michelin guide. We loved our breakfast in the courtyard, a must have. Freshly squeezed and or pressed orange, apple and pear juices were out of this world. We were served bountiful baskets of French pastries, organic yogurts and fruits. The staff is eager to help with luggage and anything your heart desires. The "piece de resistance" is Bernard, the owner who engineered and designed the entire hotel. His brain child "La Maison des Consuls" feels like a love story worth living in Mirepoix when...
Read moreThis place is just gorgeous. I was expecting the usual kind of (excellent) French guesthouse, but the furnishings and luxury here are a big step up. Rooms have a kettle, fridge, lovely bed and linen and really nice furniture and small touches. There's a beautiful lounge on the first floor. En suite has top quality towels and very nice local soap. Roxanne the receptionist/manager/waitress is incredibly friendly and charming. |The location couldn't be better - looking right out on the stunning square in Mirepoix facing the cathedral. (lots of bells and mass at 830). |Although that means rooms are over the tables in the square, the shutters mean the rooms are still pretty quiet. |There's a garage for parking car or bikes a block away (but that's normal in Mirepoix as there is no parking in the centre). |There are lots of stairs and I didn't see a lift so just check about that if you have mobility issues. |Really top class. Can't recommend...
