We have recently spent a week staying with Dave and Sylvia at the Auberge du Balestie and had an absolutely superb holiday. Our party included three elderly family members who found the ground floor rooms perfect for their needs, particularly the spacious disabled room. Upstairs we enjoyed the gorgeous view which stretches away to the Pyrenees. The rooms are simply... More

A group of us (12 cyclists) stayed here at the end of September. David and his wife were very welcoming and even opened the swimming pool for our sweaty gang. Lovely rooms and it is set in great surroundings! The dinner we were served was fab and they stock some great local wines worth tasting! Can only recommend!

We spent 2 nights at the auberge. It was completely full on both evenings. The weather was excellent, which allowed us to experience the fantastic views of the mountains. Absolutely clear night skies with no light pollution showed the stars to their best. The surrounding fields of sunflowers were nearing their end. We had a comfortable twin room on the... More

My mother and I stayed there for two nights. The twin room was roomy, the beds/pillows and linen of good quality and clean, the bathroom/toilet in very good condition. The surroundings are stunning, with view on the actual Pyrenees and possibilities of hiking. It is located a short drive from Mirepoix, a medieval city looking authentic. Prices are extremely reasonable... More

Looking for something different as an overnight stopover near Mirepoix we stumbled on the Auberge du Balestie here on TA. It fitted our bill perfectly and we had a delightful stay on August 10th.

This is a super hotel. Great location, in the countryside just outside of medieval Mirepoix. The room I had wad clean, light and airy. Food in the restaurant was top notch and the overall price was most affordable. Think I'll go there again!

Clean rooms, friendly owners and great food and wine! If that wasn't enough, there is a wonderful view of the mountains to enjoy as well. Despite a death in the family, the owners were the perfect hosts. A real home from and highly recommended.
