The good life in The Sunny South of France đ«đ·
A magnificent Maison de MaĂźtre In the heart of the beautiful village of Rieux Minervois with its boulangeries, boucherie and a number of restaurants, all within the centre of the famous Minervois wine region. Located in The South of France, close to the beaches of Narbonne and the historic walled cite of Carcassonne and the unique hilltop town of Minerve. Perfect for visiting the Cathar sites and wine tasting too.
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
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!
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

Magnificent in both grandeur and decor and very well located. So many sites to visit. A chĂąteau opposite and the 17th century heptagonal church steps away. Restaurants and takeaway options within walking distance and Carrefour a 5 minute drive away. A heated pool on site. Lots for children locally too, very close to the canal de midi for cycling and boat trips, history on your doorstep and watersport and inflatables fun at the local lake. Walking distance to all amenities (including wine tasting!) Lots of parking available adjacent to the property in addition to off road parking. A concierge service on hand for help.and advice. Excellent plane, train and road links
