Featured in Sunday Times January 2022 - One of the top 30 Self Catering Gites in France & Sunday Times January 2018 - One of the top 20 gites in France :

'....sits at the heart of village life serving up southern France in all its glorious, sunlit simplicity. Antique bedsteads, window box geraniums and baguettes from round the corner are all part of the scene here. So, too, is a magnificent array of beaches & ancient monuments....'

Maison des Fleurs is an 18th century stone artisan's cottage lovingly restored as a gite with exposed beams, wood burning stove and sunny balcony where you can sit with a glass of wine and watch village life go by. Situated in the village of Thezan des Corbieres, this part of the Languedoc has a superb micro climate making the summers very hot and the winters moderate - there is also so much to do in this region that you can holiday here any time of the year. This is a wine growing village and abounds in glorious vineyards just right for relaxing strolls in the sun. Thezan des Corbieres is only 27 miles from Carcassonne or Beziers airport and 30 minutes from a choice of 44 local beaches; only 6 km away is a beautiful river where local and tourists swim. Situated in the heart of Cathar country the area has many Chateaux, Abbeys and Cathar ruins to explore.Thezan des Corbieres is a thriving little village that has all the amenities necessary for a relaxing holiday, the Boulangerie doubles as a well stocked grocery store whilst the Tabac sells a variety of things - including stamps; there is also a Brocante (Antique/Junk shop), an Estate Agent and a Bar/Restaurant which serves lunches and 3 course evening meals. There is also a pizzeria/bar in the village square where you can sit and eat or takeaway a pizza.Maison des Fleurs is a tiny artisans cottage set out on three floors. The ground floor has a sparkling new kitchen and dining area, the table seats four; there is a separate toilet and sink on this floor. The middle floor has a shower room and a lounge complete with sunny balcony and the top floor has a double bedroom and a tiny single bedroom - this really is tiny, the bed is adult size but we do recommend the room is only used for young children or for a couple who wish to have separate rooms. The house is really not large enough for three adults. Retaining its original beams and ceiling height some of the top floor is limited in head space but definitely not in character. Due to the increased heat in the summer months we have now added air conditioning to the top floor (2023).

House rules

NOT suitable for children under the age of 2 years - only suitable for children 2 - 12 years old... ideally the cottage should be used by 2 adults only as it is a very small cottage, if you wish to bring a child of the appropriate age they will be made very welcome, however. Should you wish to bring a 3rd adult there is no additional charge but please keep in mind how small the cottage is. The single bed is always made up for your use in case you need to sleep separately - snoring perhaps!

Owner's reply:
We are so pleased to see that you obviously fell in love with the region, as we have; it is, as you said, a delightful place to holiday with so much to see and to do. The Sunday Times chose us as one of the top 20 gites in France (2018) and we are thrilled with the accolade, they took into account the outstanding region, the facilities/decoration of the gite and the very competitive pricing, plus all the five star reviews we have collected over the years. In our welcome card, given to every gite guest, we emphasise that we will do anything we can to ensure the holiday is comfortable, to contact us if there are any problems. During your stay you texted me eight times over ten days with various queries, all of which I answered immediately, yet you never ever mentioned anything about the complaints listed in this review, you chose to make them four months after your visit. This is such a shame Carol, I would much preferred to have helped you at the time. During 2018 we had only five star reviews from those who stayed, except for yourself, but I quite understand that decor is a matter of taste.
