Your hosts

Jeremy and Adrie met 25 years ago in Amsterdam and are got married in Somerset, UK, in June 2019. They divide their time between Pouzols-Minervois, London and Somerset.

"Jeremy worked at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange at the time," Adrie explains. "When he was transferred to London, we both moved there. Now he is retired and I continue to advise government and financial sector clients in the UK on how to create more engaging websites."

Their passion is to make Le Fort the perfect home to share with friends and other guests.

Two kitchens

The roof terrace

Amazing as it is to stay in a beautifully renovated 12th century fort, the real wow factor here is the roof terrace.
