Testimonials

Thankyou for making our stay at Beaufort so good. We love the location – quiet but within easy reach of many interesting places.

The room was fantastic – airy and cool during the [warm] days. The bathroom must be mentioned – huge and really well stocked with everything one might need.

Breakfast was very special, held next to the pool. Croissants, fresh baguettes fruit, homemade conserve [jam!] and delicious coffee. What’s not to love about this?

A mention also of ‘La Table “O” ‘, a brilliant restaurant almost next door – I recommend it highly.

Likewise, the proximity to the lovely little village of Oupia and the market town of Olonzac just topped things off.

Nous avons adoré notre parenthèse au sein de ce joli village.Tout est décoré avec soin et beaucoup de goût. Les petits-déjeuners servis en chambre, sont copieux et délicieux ( les meilleurs oeufs coque de ma vie!).L’accès au jardin piscine est très agréable.
Au coeur de Beaufort est une adresse à retenir…les hôtes sont accueillants, généreux, discrets et aux petits soins.

Would definitely recommend Au Cœur de Beaufort and would stay there again. Great welcoming hosts. Very comfortable bedroom with everything we needed. The breakfasts in the garden were amazing. The pool area was beautiful and relaxing, with the added bonus of the friendliest lovely dog to play with.

A beautiful establishment, run with professionalism and generosity by Karin and Rafe. Everything, from our bedroom, the swimming pool, and the breakfast (complete with boiled eggs cooked perfectly using Karin’s unique method – you’ll want the recipe) was great. The hosts could also double as tour guides – advising on restaurants, vineyards, and on the many historic towns and cities in the region. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic hosts and a beautiful oasis of a garden. We stayed on the ground floor. Beautiful room and very well ventilated, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Probably the most accessible room I’ve stayed in. The restaurant a short walk away was my favourite meal of the trip – don’t remember the name but they certainly will.

Karin and Rafe’s house is beautifully refurbished with style and taste as were the pool and breakfast area. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks to Karin and Rafe who made our stay memorable.

Karin et Rafe sont des hôtes charmants, accueil chaleureux autour d’un verre au bord de la piscine, informations des lieux à visiter, délicieux petit déjeuner et très belle prestation avec une chambre (Website hidden by Airbnb) d’une belle salle de bain. Je recommande vivement.

Au Coeur de Beaufort is exactly as described and as per the photos. It’s located in a very peaceful and relaxing setting, and is a very comfortable B and B. Loads of extra small touches such as toiletries, beach/pool towels provided if needed. The pool was perfect to cool down in and the garden is very tranquil. Breakfast was delicious too! Karin and Rafe were charming hosts who were on hand to give us info on the the area and help with reservations but never intruding or in your face. Would definitely recommend!

C’est une maison cocooning, on y est chez soi. L’ambiance zen invite au repos, à une certaine plénitude, et ce du matin jusqu’en soirée. Au cœur d’une région à découvrir, mais chuuuut, il ne faut pas trop le dire…! Nos hôtes répondent à nos moindres besoins, ils donnent envie de plus les connaître. Un grand merci

Beaufort is old little village surrounded by vineyards. There is a church and local auberge with delicious local wine and great food. Karens’ house is beautiful and comfortable . There is a small garden with pool where you can eat breakfast. It is so much better place than crowdy and noisy seaside! I strongly recommend Au Coeur de Beaufort!

Accueil chaleureux Chambre spacieuse et confortable rénovée avec goût Petit déjeuner copieux et de qualité Disponibilité pour indiquer les centres d’intérêts de la région.

Sherri and I are from the United States and have not been to this part of France before. Karin and Rafe were very welcoming to us, and our accommodations were spacious and comfortable. We took day trips to many wonderful places and enjoyed driving through the beautiful area.

Each village was special and had its own attractions. Each night we could come home and relax, have a soak in the tub or a shower, and unwind. Breakfast each morning was excellent and got us off to a good start. Beaufort itself is charming and scenic and we had good walks around the village. The surrounding countryside is full of vineyards and quiet country roads.

The historic structure of the Chambres d’Hotes has been updated inside. Several suites, each with its own living area and bathroom, are connected to a central staircase giving each suite privacy.

There is a very nice garden and pool, excellent for cooling off in the warm weather typical for this region.

During the 6 days we were there we visited Carcassonne, Minerve, Lagrasse, Fontfroid Abbey, Narbonne, Beziers, Foy, the Pyrenees, a prehistoric dolmen (Domen des Fados), a cave with 14,000 year old paintings (Cave de Niaux), a museum with prehistoric artifacts going back 500,000 years (in Minerve), and a winery having a festival and wine tasting (Massamier La Mignarde).

All in all it was a wonderful vacation, which I would like to repeat, and can wholeheartedly recommend.
