From the owner

Original 1860 Holiday Vigneron in the heart of the medieval circularde Minervois village of Ginestas. Large private pool and garden, but restaurant, bar and food shop/boulangerie within 5 minutes' walk. The pool stays a constant 24C. Newly landscaped garden too.

The village is surrounded by vineyards, 30 minutes' drive to the sea, spectacular beaches and the towns of Narbonne or Carcassonne. Huge national park for trekking/walking within 15 minutes. Newly renovated. Within easy reach of 5 airports, yet a quiet country area. The Canal du Midi and the canal port of La Someil just 5 minutes' drive. Also a convenient 3 minute walk from the Chateau des Puits es Pratx.

Everything is traditional French, not flatpack chipboard!

Bicycle hire, boat hire or cruises, even 2CV hire!, available by the day or week from within 5 minutes' drive. In the heart of an area filled with beautiful villages, chateaux and vineyards open for tasting and small restaurants offering gourmet food for low country prices. Fishing, walking and every other country activity are on offer in this spectacular area.

Full wifi, 2 tvs, including English language, and every other facility. The owner has four other holiday homes in Switzerland, Italy and the UK, for rental, all of which are consistently top-rated due to the carefully chosen locations and level of equipment and facilities to the highest standard.

One of five places I have listed. Almost 1000 guests a year now stay at my five holiday homes run by me. The average rating of over 250 online reviews is 4.9 stars!

Interaction with guest

I have an obsession about personal service, not just machines with endless tape recordings an options and waiting 20 minutes to be answered! I always make sure that I or my agents are available at the end of my mobile if needed. My motto is "personal holidays with personal service".

    Wow, delighted that you enjoyed it so much and discovered some of the experiences that made us fall in love with the area. The pizza van only appears on Fridays, miraculously it seems to make it there despite looking about 80 years old! Adds to the charm! Always welcome back. Mark.
