Maison Grillou is a lovingly restored former farmhouse in foothills of the Pyrenees in south west France, in the department of Ariège - just 90 minutes from the airports of Toulouse and Carcassonne. This is a fantastic spot  to spend your holidays, in stunning scenery so close to the mountains. If you're looking for a place to explore a multitude of different landscapes on foot, by car or cycle, discover prehistoric or Romanesque art, potter around small medieval towns and villages, paint, write or take photographs, or just settle under an ancient oak tree with a good book, you'll find it here.

The house offers spacious, comfortable and beautifully designed guest accommodation, finished with natural paints and washes, good showers, beds and linen, a mixture of reclaimed and contemporary furniture, lots of books and music and plenty of places to sit, eat or read both inside and outside, in sun or shade. Stay in our chambre d'hôte suite, or cook for yourself in a converted barn with fully equipped kitchen. Good food is our passion: breakfast is included wherever you choose to stay, and a slow, seasonal dinner (including unique and delicious vegetarian options) is available three times a week. Prices start at 150 euros per couple for a two night stay.

Maison Grillou isn't a hotel: it's our home, where we warmly welcome you to stay with us. This is a friendly, informal and kick-your-shoes-off type of place where, we hope, you'll feel as comfortable and at home as we do.
