About this property

A delightful 3 bedroomed character house set within its own private courtyard. The property is situated in Villenueve Minervois, an authentic village typical of the region with its shady boulevards, plane trees and 2 very good restaurants. The property is ideal if you enjoy all things local and a sense of independence; from markets, wine tasting and local delicacies to mountain walks and relatively undiscovered remote villages. However, it will also suit those who require a more focused stay as well-know attractions such as Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi are within a short drive. The property provides a cool haven in the summer but also has a fantastic wood burning stove and central heating providing a good all year round base to enjoy activities from walking in the spring, to Bastille Day and the enchanting Christmas market in Carcassonne. A beautiful boutique property that has extra touches, such as The White Company linen, to make your stay as luxurious as possible.

What a special little piece of heaven

Just utterly gorgeous! A quiet secluded property with a sunny terrace and courtyard. Beautifully furnished home from home and wonderfully resourced with everything we needed for a month's stay. The property is in a charming village with local shops for every day needs and stunning walks nearby. Highly recommended and looking forward to returning next year!

Authentic French Stay

A beautiful stone house in a welcoming village. Everything we needed - plenty to do within driving distance. A real holiday with something for everyone! We visited several beautiful lakes - one in the mountains Lac de Pradelles was a favourite especially on the hotter days as it was a bit cooler. Owners recommended restaurants excellent as were other suggestions. Parking in village was not a problem there was always somewhere within short distance of property. Fans in all bedrooms a real help in the heat. House has everything you need a real home from home! Clean fresh linen and towels. Bikes so handy to ride for intermediate cyclists in local area for some beautiful trips out. Only one comment to note perhaps a second set of keys would be handy with a larger party. Thank you Rolland and Andrea we loved our stay in your home 😊

Relaxing get away spot

The village and house are wonderful. We had an incredibly relaxing time thanks to the lovely house - it feels like someone has given you the keys to a home they really care about. The bakers and vegetable store in the village are really excellent and there is also a small cafe/bar to sit and watch the world go by.

Perfect choice

We loved being in the house, and it gave us a welcome respite from the hugely hot temperatures over the last 2 weeks.

About the host

Hosted by Rolland Keane

A long-term love of France and some 30 years of dragging family and friends around every corner of this intoxicating land led to the inevitable journey to the south west and our home in Villeneuve Minervois. This still unspoilt corner of France offers everything from lofty mountains to sandy beaches, haute cuisine to the humble cassoulet. Our house is also our home for as much of the year as our working lives in London will allow. We hope you enjoy, as we do, everything that the wonderful Minervois has to offer!
