  • The two of us (Anna and Will) live on site in the main house (La Maison de Loustalviel).

We really love the incredible nature, history and culture of the region. We hope you enjoy it here as much as we do!

  • What a stunning place! The most tranquil setting, brilliant location, and the property itself surrounded by beautiful mature gardens that truly need to be seen to be fully appreciated. Whether it's waking up to wonderful birdsong, or experiencing the star filled sky at night, Le Domaine Loustalviel is truly a peaceful gem to unwind and experience the best of Occitanie. The gite was super clean and stylish, and fully self contained with everything you need for a comfortable self-catered stay, with lots of lovely personal touches from wild flowers from the gardens, to fresh fluffy towels and comfortable bedding.

  • Had a great week at Loustalviel. Anna and Will are wonderful and welcoming, and the house was lovely to stay in, and stays cool well in the heat. It is close to Mirepoix so you can head to the market, and there’s LOADS of places to visit within driving distance. The pool was a dream... The location is tranquil and gorgeous to look at, and on a clear day you can see all the way to the Pyrenees. Would absolutely recommend!

  • We had the most relaxing and wonderful stay at Le Domaine de Loustalviel. We knew we were in for something special before we arrived having done our research, but it exceeded our expectations. The gites were amazing and our hosts Anna and Will were so helpful and generous. The welcome we received when we arrived was so genuine and authentic. Loustalviel is far enough away to be remote but close to so many wonderful towns and villages. If you stumble across Loustalviel just book a stay here you will love it. We look forward to going back in the near future.

  • We loved relaxing in the large beautiful gardens and heated pool… and the cycle past sunflower fields to the nearby village for fresh croissants was wonderful. Thoroughly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

  • The accommodation is absolutely beautiful… There are many areas to sit and read or unwind as well as outdoor eating space. Will and Anna were amazing and very welcoming and nothing was too much for them. I will certainly be revisiting.
