What an absolutely wonderful time we have just spent in Caunes Minervois - everything we hoped for and more. Taking the house for a month allowed us to really get a feel for the village although for 2 of us it was a return visit after 13 years! The house is extremely comfortable and all amenities are excellent. We were lucky enough to win the toss and get the top floor bedroom with adjoining lounge which had such a beautiful outlook across the roof tops to the distant hills. Trying to understand the instruction sheets for the washing machine and cooker was interesting as there was no English translation but with the use of Google we managed to work things out! We are more than happy to thoroughly recommend the house and would like to say a big "thank you" to Elizabeth for letting us stay. On the down side was as Australians and New Zealanders BBQ is second nature and we would have loved to have been able to do this in the courtyard. ##### Ann P.

The owner was ready to help with any need or question. Very well renovated house and one of the best locations in the village. ##### Aidan and Pam C.

It has a good kitchen for cooking and a private courtyard for dining (and safe-keeping of race bikes for the cyclists). The bakery is walking distance for fresh croissants and bread. The village abbey is around the corner and worth a visit. There is good cycling, nice walking routes and interesting places to visit in the area. I would definitely recommend this to friends as a nice place to stay. ##### Liesl S. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alfredo G. 31 Aug 2015 #### Peaceful and Lovely house We have spent a week in this house in August with our two small children and it was fantastic. The house is beautiful inside and very tastefully decorated. The furniture and appliances are of exceptional quality. In particular, we loved the layout, the kitchen and the spaciousness of the 3 rooms. The village is quiet and friendly neighbors; the town is well connected by road. The attention and willingness of the owner (Elizabeth) made us feel very comfortable. All very clean. I recomend it. We have no doubt that if next year we return to southern France we will call the owner to rent it. I recommend visiting near the village church of Notre Damme du Cros. ##### Alfredo G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Comfort Aparthotel Lourdes Lorda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Zenitude-Hotel-Residences-Lorda.h3032493.Hotel-Information) > > [Vayamundo Quillan L'Espinet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Residence-Vayamundo-Quillan-LEspinet.h31107673.Hotel-Information) > > [Isolated gîte in the Cévennes, haven of peace, natural swimming pool on large wooded grounds ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Germain-De-Calberte-Hotels-Mas-De-Groupoulas-In-The-Heart-Of-The-Cevennes.h27472742.Hotel-Information) > > [Whaka Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seissan-Hotels-Whaka-Lodge.h60366351.Hotel-Information) > > [SOWELL COLLECTION Hôtel du Roi & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-HAtel-Du-Roi-By-Sowell.h48805980.Hotel-Information) > > [Château Bellevue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cazaubon-Hotels-Chateau-Bellevue.h6528718.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping Le Pin Parasol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beziers-Hotels-Camping-Le-Pin-Parasol.h25789623.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Gallia & Londres](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lourdes-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Gallia-Chapelle-Spa-NUXE.h1114863.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Lunel Porte de Camargue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aimargues-Hotels-Fasthotel-Nimes-Ouest-Lunel.h27101357.Hotel-Information) > > [Château Les Carrasses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beziers-Hotels-Chateau-Les-Carrasses.h4506283.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Vacancéole Le Domaine de la Vallée d'Ax](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ax-Les-Thermes-Hotels-Domaine-De-La-Vallee-DAx.h3418623.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Le Petit Nid by Villa Plus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Raissac-DAude-Hotels-Villa-Le-Petit-Nid-By-Villa-Plus.h102241986.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Chaumiere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Hotel-La-Chaumiere.h37223748.Hotel-Information) > > [Eau Thermale Avene L'hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montpellier-Hotels-Eau-Thermale-Avene-Lhotel.h21199840.Hotel-Information) > > [Domaine de la Paille Basse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Souillac-Hotels-Domaine-De-La-Paille-Basse.h22581624.Hotel-Information) > > [LOGIS, Hôtel Cartier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-The-Originals-City.h3961148.Hotel-Information) > > [Moulin d'Entre Les Roches](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Moulin-DEntre-Les-Roches.h29946222.Hotel-Information) > > [La Jolie Vigneronne - Ancient winemaker's house with three terraces](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beziers-Hotels-La-Jolie-Vigneronne-Ancient-Winemakers-House-With-Three-Terraces.h36240202.Hotel-Information) > > [Domaine Tarbouriech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beziers-Hotels-Domaine-Tarbouriech.h39794656.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Boudoir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lectoure-Hotels-Le-Boudoir.h26785263.Hotel-Information) > > [PROMO August 16th century Gascon Castle in the Gersoise hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Labrihe-Hotels-PROMO-August-16th-Century-Gascon-Castle-In-The-Gersoise-Hills.h32419849.Hotel-Information) > > [Château de Labro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Onet-Le-Chateau-Hotels-Chateau-De-Labro.h4111313.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau du Puits es Pratx](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Narbonne-Hotels-Chateau-Du-Puits-Es-Pratx.h25579411.Hotel-Information) > > [Closed for ever](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mielan-Hotels-Welcome-To-Gite-Du-Beau-Ciel.h39145570.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Pressoir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Chinian-Hotels-Le-Pressoir.h4801090.Hotel-Information) > > [Relais de Laval](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caudies-De-Fenouilledes-Hotels-Relais-De-Laval.h13144199.Hotel-Information) > > [The charm of a bastide in private domain with large pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thezan-Des-Corbieres-Hotels-The-Charm-Of-A-Bastide-In-Private-Domain-With-Large-Pool.h33475483.Hotel-Information) > > [Sowell Collection Hotel du Roi & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Carcassonne.h24152511.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B HOTEL Béziers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beziers-Hotels-BB-Hotel-Beziers.h11136604.Hotel-Information) ---
