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.

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.

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!

Location, location, location, but….
Inderdaad, het uitzicht is fantastisch. Zwembad is heerlijk. En de eigenaar is super vriendelijk. Daarover geen klagen, maar om eerlijk te zijn Andrew, sommige zaken zijn minder goed bevallen. Allereerst iets wat we misschien hadden kunnen weten, maar wat eigenlijk voor een familie vakantiehuis niet echt meer van deze tijd is: er is geen wifi. En dat hoort eigenlijk echt wel bij deze tijd. Er is ook geen airco, er staan alleen twee wat verouderde de ventilatoren wat voor 6-persoons gezinshuis te weinig is. Dit is allemaal echter te overzien. Wat ons echt stoorde was de zeer gebrekkige schoonmaak, het huis was echt vies toen we het betraden (wat de eigenaar overigens netjes opgelost heeft), de douche loopt niet door waardoor je maar 2 minuten kunt douchen, en de doordringende geur van de septic tank. Die maakte de avonden op het terras, met het mooie uitzicht, een minder fijne ervaring. Voor ons geen huis om naar terug te keren.

Gîte au calme
Vacances reposantes et ressourçantes, maison sans vis à vis ayant le confort, piscine propre, seule une cafetière aurait été la bienvenue ! Belle région par ailleurs à visiter !
