About this property

A 'Hidden Gem', In Its Own Private Walled Courtyard Just Outside Carcassonne

A delightful 3 bedroomed character house set within its own private courtyard. The property is situated in Villenueve Minervois, an authentic village typical of the region with its shady boulevards, plane trees and 2 very good restaurants. The property is ideal if you enjoy all things local and a sense of independence; from markets, wine tasting and local delicacies to mountain walks and relatively undiscovered remote villages. However, it will also suit those who require a more focused stay as well-know attractions such as Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi are within a short drive. The property provides a cool haven in the summer but also has a fantastic wood burning stove and central heating providing a good all year round base to enjoy activities from walking in the spring, to Bastille Day and the enchanting Christmas market in Carcassonne. A beautiful boutique property that has extra touches, such as The White Company linen, to make your stay as luxurious as possible.

Villeneuve Vacation!
We had an absolutely wonderful time in this picturesque village of Villeneuve-minervois. You are within 10 minutes of Carcassonne and La Cité. Great biking along the Canal du Midi. A visit to Lastours is a must! We loved sitting out in the evening in the beautiful courtyard underneath the stars. Thank you for a wonderful week!

What a special little piece of heaven
Just utterly gorgeous! A quiet secluded property with a sunny terrace and courtyard. Beautifully furnished home from home and wonderfully resourced with everything we needed for a month's stay. The property is in a charming village with local shops for every day needs and stunning walks nearby. Highly recommended and looking forward to returning next year!

Très bon séjour
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette maison de famille avec une vraie âme. La localisation permet de rayonner sur une bien belle région. Petit plus, nous avons pu séjourner avec nos deux chiens. Un grand merci à Rolland !

The Perfect Choice
This property proved to be perfect choice for us to experience life in southern France. Everything from our interactions with the Rolland and Andrea, the property itself, the village in which it sits and general proximity to attractions within the region make it an exceptional choice. Communication with Rolland and Andrea was excellent throughout the rental process. In addition to being highly responsive to our questions, they were very generous with their assistance and guidance on how best to thrive in the area. They had a fantastic list of suggestions for sites, activities and dining that proved to be excellent advice. It felt like we were hanging out in a friends’ house and it really felt like home. The house is absolutely charming and comfortable. Everything we needed to enjoy six weeks in France was present. The kitchen is compact by American standards, but we had no trouble whipping up our meals. We definitely enjoyed the courtyard for reading and eating with both sun and shade readily available. There is plenty of space and the master bath offers both tub and shower. At night, the town is super quiet… no trouble sleeping… and the view of the stars in the dark night sky is amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Rolland Keane

Host profile image
A long-term love of France and some 30 years of dragging family and friends around every corner of this intoxicating land led to the inevitable journey to the south west and our home in Villeneuve Minervois. This still unspoilt corner of France offers everything from lofty mountains to sandy beaches, haute cuisine to the humble cassoulet. Our house is also our home for as much of the year as our working lives in London will allow. We hope you enjoy, as we do, everything that the wonderful Minervois has to offer!
