The Pefect August Home - Heated Private Pool

All the bedrooms are large, one double, the rest can all be double or twin. 3 have private bathrooms, one en- suite one room has an en-suite shower. Huge private pool and garden full of local character. But, unusually, in the heart of a historic village, not the edge. Just 2 minutes walk to a food shop/boulangerie, café, restaurant and bar. A traditional "circulade" village full of glorious architecture.

If you are interest in wine, well walk to the end of the road and you are literally in a vineyard! There are at least 10 chateaux with wine tasting on offer within 15 minutes' drive of the house.

This area is Cathar country. The famous medieval capital of Minerve is a 15 minute drive. Carcassonne, with its giant castle, is 30 minutes' away.

There will be very few places on offer that have four different types of swimming within easy reach! As well as its own pool, the sea is about a 30 minute drive away. A freshwater lake with a beach and swimming facilities is 15 minutes away at Homps and proper river swimming facilities are on offer at Bize Minervois about 15 minutes away as well.

This is one of five places we have listed. So far this year we have had over 900 guests and over the years more than 200 online reviews of our properties. Our average rating is 4.9! We try to deliver consistent quality again and again.

Perfect!
The house provided a perfect base, loads of space, functional facilities and a wonderful outside area with fantastic swimming pool! The village it’s self was an ideal location with a bakery, village shop, bank and eateries, pop up shops and fête with live music and food stalls. However, the best restaurant we ate at was in the neighbouring village by the Midi canal. Day trips are easy with a car, Carcassonne and Minerva make for great days out and coming back home to MarksPlace put a real smile on all our faces. The property is even more impressive than it appears in the photos. Mark and his house managers are very responsive, friendly and helpful. Thank you for truly unforgettable holiday for all, cherished memories were made and nobody wanted to leave.

Lovely stay!
Great size of property with enough space for everyone. The pool is a great size and a great way to cool down. The area doesnt have much for children but we had two hire cars for 8 of us and everywhere was driveable. Lovely day trip to Carcassonne, Peyrepeteuse Castle, Aquajet water park and loads more. Enjoy your stay :)

Fantastique! 5*
Where to begin! The timeless rustic elegance of the house was immediately evident to us on opening the beautiful wooden front door for the first time. We were thrilled to investigate the whole house and allocate rooms for ourselves and our guests. The house is exceptionally spacious and the bedrooms are extremely large with comfortable beds. The outdoor space is light, private, and spacious. The pool was gorgeous and the landscaping is well thought out. The House was clean (Thank you Hazel) and overall in excellent condition. The kitchen was well equipped. It had everything we needed over the fortnight except for a lemon squeezer which is of no consequence. The Boulangerie was a huge hit and frequented by us everyday. La table du Casino was a great find. Full of life and great food. We also enjoyed dining at L’Oncle Jules. I would also highly recommend La Grillade du Chateau in nearby Ventenac sur Minervois. Truly splendid and the least expensive of the three mentioned! In conclusion – the house is full of character and charm, we all fell in love with it resulting in a truly memorable holiday. I can honestly say the house exceeded on all counts and I would like to thank you Mark for giving it life again.

Stunning property! The pool was fab! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Comfy beds. Peaceful location in small town - plenty of interesting places to visit in surrounding area. The casino bar/restaurant in the town is amazing! We had a wonderful time. Thank you Mark!

Superb break
Clean; well provided; old house with character but all mod cons and decor; the yard and pool had plenty of seating and loungers: the pool was a good size and heated. Perfect

October getaway
The house is lovely. We arrived after a long day of travelling, and the standard delays in picking a hire car up - this meant we arrived in the dark, tired and frazzled. When we opened the door all the tiredness evaporated and everyone was excited about the house and the holiday. The house is huge - so deceptive from the outside but it also has really grand proportions (high ceilings etc). We stayed with extended family and the number of bathrooms was very welcome. Everything is comfortable and well-stocked. We were there at the end of October and the weather was very hot. The use of the pool was very welcome. Ginestas is a lovely village and the house is perfectly placed for a stroll around, or to pop to the shops/ bars in the village.

Ginestas Gem
Just back from a glorious week in Ginestas. The house was everything I expected and more. Really good feel about the property and everyone enjoyed it. It was clean, very well equipped, and we wanted for nothing. The pool was very welcome when the temperatures hit the 30's. Would recommend very highly and a special mention for Karen and Hazel who were very accommodating. Thank you both.

Perfect family holiday
We had a really fabulous week here. The house was beautiful and spacious and the pool was much enjoyed by all. We ate at several of the restaurants in the village and had very good experiences in all. The people in the local village were warm and friendly. The house was in an excellent location for exploring Carcasonne, Beziers and Narbonne and all the beautiful villages. It is also close to the Canal du midi. All in all, a fabulous trip to a wonderful house in a beautiful location. Thank you to Mark for allowing us to enjoy his beautiful home.
