A great location to visit the surrounding area. 40 mins from Gruissan beach, Roqebrun for kayaking and cycling along the canal du midi. The table du casino is great for dinner in the village. Some constructive feedback for the owners - The pool wasn’t as clean as it should be. Where we have stayed before the pool is cleaned/hoovered on a weekly basis, by the end of the week is was rather dirty and needed a proper good clean,Also the bathrooms needed a good deep clean.A lovely house full of character. Many thanks

Enormous property with beautiful heated private pool and comfortable bedrooms. We couldn’t believe how spacious it was. Lovely peaceful setting just minutes walk from the village cafe, boulangerie and restaurant. Also a short drive to lots of other local attractions. The hosts couldn’t have been more helpful.

Amazing house, fabulous pool

Beautiful, spacious house with ample accommodation for our party of 9. Lots of original features and a pool to die for, especially in an August heatwave. Great location for exploring the region. The village itself was very quiet (i.e. no bar open for an evening aperitif) but the Wednesday evening 'nocturne' was a blast, and everyone made us feel very welcome.

Beautiful house in charming French village

We had a wonderful stay at Mark's house in Ginestas. The house is beautiful, with original features, very clean and it has a great pool that the whole family enjoyed. Ginestas itself is a lovely, typically French village with a range of facilities and not far from the coast and larger towns. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely house in a charming town

Spacious and charming old town house with lots of big bedrooms and bathrooms -- no cramped little en-suites here! Good pool and areas for al fresco dining and sun-lounging. Altogether well equipped and easy to get on with. Ginestas is a great little town with a bakery, a delightfully eccentric wine bar, wonderful old school cafe-restaurant (Les Trois Cochons) and an absolute gem of a restaurant (Table de Casino) which is a few minutes walk away but is clearly attracting people from much further (drop in and book). We went there three times in two weeks! The little canal-side villages round and about are also worth exploring. Excellent big sandy beach with good swimming just east of Gruissan, with a huge bar (Paparazzo) to retreat to --it's a wide open beach so could get rough in a wind. The lake at Homps is underwhelming. Great canoeing centre at Roquebrun -- they will drive you upstream and leave you to paddle back, which is a perfect way to spend the afternoon with some gorgeous river swimming spots (especially the hamlet of Ceps, where the 5k trip starts). Narbonne has a beautiful historic centre with a magnificent cathedral.

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.

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.

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.
