We had a lovely week at this beautiful property near Carcassonne, the interior belied the rather ordinary exterior it has been decorated beautifully and has all of the amenities you would need. The pool area and garden are planted with a range of plants both real and artificial, the pool not large but still great for cooling off with a large seating area, outdoor kitchen and BBQ, we spent most of our time here. The bedroom on the ground floor is beautiful and spacious with an ensuite, the four doubles on the first floor are again large and spacious and beautifully decorated serviced by three bathrooms. However, the three top floor rooms two are very small one a very small double the other a single and our party of 9 struggled to allocate these as they were not of the same previous standard. We had a few teething problems with the property but the housekeeper resolved these reasonably quickly and was always on hand to answer questions. The house is in a road with a few good restaurants in walking distance, a bank, pharmacy and local supermarket and an outdoor pool attached to the local swimming baths. All in all if you are after a large, grand house and wish to explore this area of France and all it's beauty you can't go wrong with this property.

A fantastic property for our family of 12 (ranging from kids, teenagers, couples and an OAP). Pool and outside eating /kitchen area was perfect and house had plenty of space for everyone. Village provided all the facilities needed- supermarket, a pizzeria opposite and a fantastic cafe in the main square.

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!
