Client Comments

Seven of us had the most magical week-long stay at the Maison Minervois.  The house is gorgeous, with ancient walls but modern appliances and comforts.  The town is charming and quiet, but just a short drive from many sites and activities.  Andre was there to answer any questions and to provide assistance at a moment’s notice.  The pool is clean and a lovely sanctuary on hot days.  We were enchanted by the “indoor-outdoor” living spaces which crated a very open feeling and could be accessed through glass doors.  This house is truly unique and special, we hope to return some day! Clea and family - July

We had a lovely stay, the villa was stunning and the owner was very welcoming.Amber, September 
We just stayed at Maison Minervois, a group of 6 adults, and loved it.  What a perfect villa and so beautiful.  Please pass on to Andre and his wife how much we enjoyed their property.  It was a perfect size, lovely pool and yard and it had great beds!  Andre brought us a list of places to visit and restaurants to try.  Very helpful.  We also loved visiting Languedoc and the Aude.  So very pretty and interesting. Thank you. Charlie and Jane, Mike and Liz, Jane and Jim, September
