About this property

La Rocaille - Gite with stunning Minervois views and private pool

Situated in an idyllic location, La Rocaille is a single storey gite with stunning panoramic views. It is approximately 6km (10 minutes) drive to the nearest village, which has all the basic amenities including boulangerie, bar/cafe, small shop & restaurants.

Equipped to a high standard; there is a large open-plan kitchen/dining room/living room (with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge-freezer, DVD, radio/CD player) opening onto a sunny terrace. There are two bedrooms (1 king-size, 1 twin) & a double sofa bed in the sitting room. There is a shower room and separate WC.

The gite has a large private garden with a swimming pool, BBQ and outside furniture. The large (8.5m x 4m) private pool has a surrounding sunbathing/patio area [it is not shared with anyone else] which is enclosed by a safety fence (with lockable gate).

Linen and towels (including beach towels for the pool) are provided.

Sorry no smoking or pets.

La Rocaille is situated close to Canal-du-Midi (a World Heritage Site) which provides numerous opportunities for walking, cycling and boat trips. Also nearby is Lac-de-Jourres with its facilities for water sports, picnics & swimming. Beautiful Mediterranean beaches are a 50 minutes drive away (Gruissan plage and Narbonne plage are the closest).

The gite sits in a beautiful and peaceful rural location which has minimal light pollution, thereby allowing for night sky viewing from our terrace and garden. Star clusters, shooting stars and the moon can be seen on clear nights.

The Gorge-de-la-Cesse is within walking distance of La Rocaille and offers plenty of opportunities for walking or cycling, with beautiful views all around. Carcassonne, Beziers and Narbonne are all within easy reach as is the medieval village of Minerve. Minerve is often cited as one of the most beautiful villages in France and can be reached by a 15-20 minute drive alongside the Gorge-de-la-Cesse. Several of the Cathar Castles are also within an easy drive from the gite.

Lovely base to relax by the pool or explore from!
Great size property for family of 4, with teens, in a lovely quiet area but within short drive of amenities. For a family who loves the outdoors the location was fantastic with lots of walking trails, gorge walks, biking & water sport options. There are also lots of historic towns & castles to be explored. Owner was really friendly & helpful and provides lots of info at the property, as well as lots of books & games!

Wonderful
A lovely property in a beautiful setting with wonderful views towards the Pyrenees and very peaceful. Lovely places to visit, Minerve, Gorges d'Héric & Lagrasse to name a few and a lovely boat trip on the Canal du Midi from Homps which is nearby. The pool is great for cooling off and relaxing on the hot days. Would highly recommend and Andrew was very helpful and replied quickly to our messages.

perfect destination to get away from it all
Well appointed property, blissfully quiet, off the beaten track but close to amenities and well placed for lots of places to visit and things to do, should you want to drag yourself away from the good sized pool and the spectacular view towards the Pyrenees. Very comfortable, one of the best holiday homes in France we have stayed in.

Good property, but watch out for hidden charges!
This is a good quality property with superb views. Perfect for a summer getaway with the pool making it ideal for families. The property is modestly furnished but perfectly comfortable. My only negative (and this is against all else being positive) is that we rented the property for 3 weeks. No cleaning included during this time, which was fine, but we were then charged extra cleaning when we left. On our arrival, the shower was not particularly clean and chose to view the multiple cobwebs as adding rustic charm! Within a few hours, we noticed an odd smell in the kitchen which we discovered was a decomposing lizard in the back of one of the cupboards. We took this in good spirit, but became somewhat irritated after our departure to be charged extra cleaning! We had cleaned the kitchen surfaces, swept out the floors, stripped the beds and folded sheets neatly and packed up all towels neatly. To avoid such charges, do a thorough clean - not my idea of a good end to a holiday when that is supposed to be included in the price. The above said, the area is stunning and the property is ideally located for exploring the medieval towns and villages of the area as well as the Canal Du Midi. Quite isolated and so not suitable if you want to walk to a local bar or restaurant in the evening. If your children are under 5 - my view is that the property would not be suitable due to the mountain location and the quite steep drop at the front of the property. Older children will love the pool. Hope this review is of help and enjoy.

The great holidays
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine au sein de La Rocaille. L'emplacement de la maison permet une déconnexion totale au milieu d'un paysage dont on ne se lasse pas. Merci M. et Mme Edwards pour votre gentillesse et votre hospitalité, peut être à bientôt.
