An amazing holiday
The Good Life was perfect. It is exactly as it looks in the photos. We enjoyed the well-appointed interior and sat outside in the afternoon sun with a glass of wine after our excursions to neighbouring towns and villages. BTW, the location is excellent for exploring the area. Rieux Minervois is a small town with a great boulangerie down the road (walking distance), good Italian restaurant across the road, and a local wine co-op. There's also a small market on Saturdays. We weren't sure about parking for our 2 cars, but it was easy - never a problem. We had a great holiday!

Hunting for happiness - find it here
A grand pile of a manor house with very generous and well appointed accommodation, in the middle of a busy village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and hills thick with vines and olive groves. Short drives along tree lined vistas or up windy roads to the hills, put many interesting towns and some splendid wineries in easy distance; the towns of Carcassonne, Narbonne, Limoux and Perpignan to name a few, as is the Med for beach lovers, but the smaller villages around and about were delightful too. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, including on the canal at Trebes. And to top it all, fresh baguettes and patisserie from the village boulanger. À votre santé et bonheur.

A Holiday mover to be Forgotten
We were celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversay with all our Family so there was 14 of us in total. The house was lovely, giving us lots of space to come together, but with enough to have our own individual space. Everything was there we required . When we contacted the owner regarding cleaning of the pool after the 1st week, he immediately arranged for it to be cleaned. There was a be lovely welcome basket for our arrival. The whole family, oldest to youngest loved the place so much. Although right in the middle of town you would never have known it as it was so quiet on the terrace. Sunbathing by day, swimming and long lazy lunches and dinners it was everything we hoped it would be for us to celebrate our vow renewals under the Honeysuckle Bower.. Thank you

A perfect stay in a beautiful house
We had a superb stay in this extraordinary house. It fitted 13 people with room to spare and was nicely furnished. We liked the backyard a lot and we all hung out there and relaxed. We went on several excursions and visited vineyards. We also dined at the local restaurants. It is a very small and quiet town. We enjoyed our stay very much. Regards, Sigrunn

Parfait pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille
Nous avons passé deux merveilleuses semaines du 5 au 19 août 2023. Nous étions un groupe d'amis avec quelques un de nos grand enfants (14 en tout) et aussi bien la maison que l'extérieur (cours et piscine) ont parfaitement répondu à nos attentes. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Carcassonne, les chais locaux et les grottes à proximité et se balader au bord du canal du midi. La situation en pleine ville offre beaucoup d'avantages (commerces à 3 minutes en voiture, pizzeria juste en face, concerts et animations à 5 minutes a pied) et quelques tous petits inconvénients (un peu de bruits de circulation). Merci à Charlotte et Will pour leur accueil et les échanges toujours rapide et à Mike pour ses interventions. Nous sommes tous d'accord pour revenir l'année prochaine 😁.
