We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful part of France. Jean-Francois and Christian were the most welcoming hosts to their home, which was fabulous inside and out. The local village had plenty of amenities, with lots to do locally and further afield. I would highly recommend this as a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday location.

Villeneuve- Minervois house

Lovely welcoming hosts and the house was wonderfully cool in the very hot weather. The pool was amazing - probably the best we’ve had in a villa rental. The town is charming and there’s lots to do in the surrounding area - thank you for a super holiday.

A great place with an amazing outdoor space

We had the most amazing time at this VRBO house in the French countryside. The outdoor space was pure bliss, with a fantastic pool and a serene garden that offered a perfect escape. Inside, the house exuded old world charm with its rustic decor, antique furniture, and cozy ambiance. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the well-equipped kitchen allowed us to enjoy local cuisine. The location was ideal for exploring the region, and the hosts were attentive and welcoming. If you're looking for a magical French getaway, this place is a must-visit!

Wonderful village retreat

We loved this house, garden and pool set on the edge of a very friendly village. The host is very amenable and always replies promptly, the house is well equipped, comfortable and the pool was a godsend during the hot sunny week. The village is well located near to carcassonne and a visit to the gouffre geant cave is spectacular. The villagers are welcoming and friendly and we used the boulangerie (we tried the daily special often) and green grocer most days. The cafe also serves a great pizza and steak. Would highly recommend this property to stay in

Absolutely loved our stay! The home felt just like that...A home! Beautifully appointed with a true French feel! The village was lovely, with everything you need. It was conveniently located to other towns for day trips! Minutes to towns along the Canal du Midi as well as the Medieval Fortress of Carcassonne. We thoroughly enjoyed our interactions with Christians father, thank goodness for google translate! He was always available to assist! As for the high lights that drew us to the property...The pool and the grill were well used! We would highly recommend a stay here!

We were early to the villa but were met by Christian & Jean Francois who had made sure the villa was ready for our arrival. It was really well equipped & very comfortable. The pool area was amazing, with a big pool & plenty of sun beds. The pool was very much appreciated as there was a heatwave in our second week. The fridge by the pool was also very welcome!The early risers in our party saw Christian most mornings while he watered the plants & topped up the pool. He was very friendly & gave us several good recommendations for walks in the area, local restaurants & provided our daughter with public transport details to get her to the airport. He even took two of us on a trip to see his olive grove & an ancient tomb in the hills - a fun trip!It was a beautiful area and the village had all the amenities needed - a bakery (with Didi the dog), fruit & veg shop (the peaches & nectarines were gorgeous), butchers, spar, wine shop & several bars & restaurants. I would highly recommend this villa. We felt very comfortable & welcome. Thank you!

A charming house in a perfect location .

My family enjoyed a lovely week at this beautiful French house on the edge of the wonderful village of Villeneuve Minervois. The house is charming,comfortable and very clean with every comfort catered for including a gift of wine from the local vineyards.It also has wi-fi and as we had three teens this was bliss.We were met at the house by the very friendly Jean-Louis who made us welcome and explained everything about the house and village.We walked into the village every morning for bread and croissants and ate in the village restaurants every evening as they had beautiful food and were very good value. The pool was lovely though the weather was mixed we still swam each day.There is so much to see in the surrounding area that the house was perfectly located for visiting Carcassonne and the surrounding villages abbeys and churches.We travelled to Rennes le Chateau and Quillan further south . And of course the vineyards! Lauran Cabaret is in the village and open each day for tastings!The house was fantastic and perfectly located for a super holiday.The people we met were so friendly even with our very poor French!Many thanks to Jean-Francois for his friendly and helpful manner and his perfect English!We are looking forward to returning and would recommend this house .

We have just spent ten days in this amazing property in a beautiful part of the country. The setting is wonderful and relaxing with restaurants in walking distance. Christian was a wonderful host and waited for us to arrive, as we were delayed. The house was immaculate and all the little extras were appreciated. The house is in a great area to visit lots of different places, Carcassonne, Narbonne-Plage, Caunes-Minervois and Château Canet wineries to name but a few. We would definitely revisit in the near future.

Lovely quiet location, friendly village , great pool

We stayed for a couple of weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our time at villeneuve-minervois. The house is a nice place to be with enough room inside that you aren’t reliant on the weather. The centrepiece is really the pool and various outdoor seating areas which make for an abundantly lovely place to relax and enjoy life. The surrounding area is strewn with gorgeous vineyards and scenery that make any trip out thoroughly worthwhile. The house is well equipped throughout and we couldn’t really have wanted for more

Parfait

La maison est très agréable, bien meublée dans le style régional, fonctionnelle et bien équipée. Le jardin est aménagé avec goût. Il y a plusieurs salons extérieurs et un endroit pour les repas à l'abri du vent et du soleil. Barbecue gigantesque 😎 La piscine est grandiose. L'accueil formidable. Une bonne boulangerie et une supérette dans le village facilitent l'approvisionnement. Les charcuteries et viandes de chez Iché à Caunes nous ont régalé ainsi que bien entendu le fameux Costos Roussos de la cave Caunes-Trausse... Que demander de plus? Vacances familiales parfaitement réussies. Merci à la famille Maury particulièrement chaleureuse et attentive. Nous reviendrons.
