Fine and clean house in kind splendid location

We stayed a few weeks in the house of kind owners Jeff and Corine. The house is very comfortable and clean, good equipped and spacious enough for two couples. The views from the terrace are spectacular and the small neighborhood is calm. The Minervois is a very nice region with a rural landscape and its wines were a discovery for us. A place to return to.

Home Away From Home

My family and I had a very special holiday here. We would highly recommend the beautiful Lavender Villa to any family with children. It has just what you need, shops and local towns are near by. A lovely drive out on an afternoon or maybe an evening. Jeff and Corinne are very pleasant and helpful, When we needed any help they arrived within 10 minutes. I would highly recommended and I would definitely consider coming back for another holiday.

Nice house with excellent hosts

We spend a week in mai in this pleasant house. Despite wet and a bit cold weather our boys enjoyed the pool. When they were cold they got in to get a hot bath inside. We enjoyed Canal du Midi and Carcassonne and the beatiful surrounding and the view on the Pyrenees. Full equipment in the kitchen! And very kind hosts who are nearby and willingly to help if you need anything. Point of improvement; there are a couple of dogs wandering over the property. They do no harm, but, as they are animals, sometimes leave some droppings.... - the large bed could be better Overall; to be recommended!

Le gros point positif de cette maison c'est l'hôte qui vous accueillera très agréablement. La communication avec lui est facile et faite avec humour. La maison est très adaptée à une famille nombreuse et bien équipée. Même si c'est une maison faite pour l'été, elle dispose d'un système de chauffage très efficace, n'hésitez pas à la louer en hiver. N'oubliez pas de prévenir l'hôte si vous avez besoin des 5 chambres car la cinquième chambre est un peu cachée

Wundervolle Auszeit

Wir haben die zwei Wochen in dem geschmackvoll eingerichteten Ferienhaus in einem kleinen Weiler nahe Minerve mit traumhaftem Weitblick bis zu den Pyrenäen sehr genossen. Die nähere Umgebung lädt sehr zum Wandern und Entspannen ein. Corinne und Jeff sind super freundliche Gastgeber, die uns mit vielen Tipps und Hinweisen versorgt haben und stets ansprechbar waren. Ganz herzlichen Dank! Wir hoffen, bald wieder kommen zu können. À Bientot.

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Sehr schöne und sehr gut ausgestattete Villa mit Terrasse und privatem Pool auf einem großen gepflegten Grundstück. Ruhige erhöhte Lage mit tollem Ausblick bis in die Pyrenäen. Ein hervorragender Ort für einen entspannten oder aktiven Urlaub: Villa, Terrasse und Pool genießen, Ausflüge (Minerve, Carcassonne, Beziers, …), Wandern (ein Wanderweg führt direkt an der Villa vorbei), Fahrradfahren, eine Bootsfahrt auf dem Canal du Midi (kleiner Hafen in Homps in ca. 15 Minuten erreichbar) und vieles mehr. Corinne und Jeff sind sehr sympathische und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Herzlichen Dank und Grüße ins Minervois.

Complete vakantie.

Zoekt u heel veel ruimte en een fijne complete vakantie…? Deze cleane villa is daar perfect voor. We waren hier in maart en de zon had al alle sterkte. In de garage lagen 2 lekkere zonne-stoelen dus we hebben al een lekker kleurtje…! Ergens hiervoor ging het over een blaffende hond. Dat is zo’n fijn geluid in de verte; dus voor ons geen probleem. De omgeving voelt heel veilig. Links, rechts, voor en achter buren maar precies goed op afstand dus je hebt wel alle privacy. Ook hebben we eigenaar en host Jeff ontmoet: na heel veel App-contact bleek hij de ideale gastheer; echt niets was te gek. Conclusie: een superfijn verblijf in een grote villa met alles erop en eraan…!!!

N'hésitez pas à réserver cette location. Si vous cherchez le calme, une belle maison et un magnifique environnement et bien n'hésitez pas!

Stayed September 2019

There were spectacular views from the covered terrace of the property and the property was reasonably well equipped. The area is beautiful and within a 10 minute drive of Minerve. Unfortunately we were disturbed by regular barking and howling from a nearby neighbour’s dog which, of course, is something over which the property owners have no control. The property is not situated within walking distance of any restaurants which was a drawback from our viewpoint.
