Little charming castle

Welcome to Maris House!

The Maris House is a charming house of character nestled in the heart of the Ariège and the Cathar Pyrenees.
With a rural setting and an exceptional panoramic view of the Pyrenees and the castle of Montsegur, this house with a unique style is composed of 4 bedrooms and offers living spaces with beautiful noble materials.

Located close to the tourist village of Roquefixade nestled on the mountainside (300m from the heart of the village), it is the ideal starting point for hikes and walks that will take you on the paths of the Cathar 367 trail.

You can also visit the castle of Roquefixade dating from the XIème century which overlooks the village directly starting from the path in front of the house. Facing south, you will enjoy optimal sunshine and a spectacular sunset on the Pyrenean reliefs.
The house of more than 280 m² consists of three double bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs and a triple bedroom with its bathroom on the ground floor. You can enjoy during your stay a TV room and a large living room as well as a functional kitchen and its dining room. A 180° and 3000m2 outdoor terrace will welcome your moments of relaxation and disconnection. You can stay up to 9 people.

Less than 30 km from the ski slopes and bathing areas the location of the house offers many opportunities for outdoor activities both in winter and summer. Located in the middle of Cathar country the house is ideally placed to visit the various castles of the region (Foix at 20min, Lac de Montbel 30min, Mont d'Olmes 40min ski resort, Cité de Carcassonne at 50min, Pas de la Case 1h15, Toulouse Blagnac 1h15 and Spain at 1h30).

What a treat it was to stay in this home. The house is beautiful and shows pride of ownership. You can easily imagine that this house has been passed down generation to generation. This is wonderful place to stay with your family. The owners rightfully ask you to be careful with the hardwood floors and once you see how beautiful they are you will understand why. This is the perfect place to go for a quite family getaway. If you are from the states it like staying in a fariytale. There are plenty of amazing things to do within a short drive. Castles, caves, villages, hiking and more.

Fin de año en la montaña
La casa tiene unas vistas espectaculares, está muy bien dotada y es muy cómoda para un grupo grande. En invierno disfrutamos mucho la chimenea y los paseos por los pueblos aledaños. Si buscas un lugar para desconectar está muy bien!

C'est une merveilleuse location pour randonner directement de la maison et aussi faire les tours dans les Pyrenées. Le batiment est merveilleux, la vue fantastique, et il ya tous pour avoir des vacances parfaites!

Séjour atypique
Gîte très agréable et accueillant mes amis ont apprécié les grands espaces du logement et le cadre extérieur. Tous ces bons côtés font oublier l'accès voiture un peu raide.

Un lieu superbe à profiter surtout en été
Une excellente situation pour profiter des activités aux alentours (randonnées, visite de châteaux). La bâtisse est aussi grande, belle et riche d'histoire. Dommage que l'usage de la cheminée ait été impossible en cette période de Noël ; nous aurions eu davantage chaud au rez-de-chaussée.

Bastide très agreable
Bastide isolée des regards dans un petit village authentique. Très propre et accueilli par le propriétaire qui prend soin de sa maison et de ses locataires.
