Amazing holiday in amazing property!

This villa was just perfect for a relaxing family stay! It was so well equipped with everything you could need, especially for kids! We had a young 2 year old with us and he was never bored, there were so many toys and different things for him to play. The pool was sublime. There were bikes for us to use to go to the local town (which was also gorgous) and Marie gave us so much information about the local villages and activities to do. Thanks so much Marie, you have made us want to come back every year!

Stay in Ginoles

We had a lovely fortnight in this comfortable house. It was well stocked and had everything we needed, the gardens were sunny and spacious and the countryside around the house was breathtaking. We spotted eagles, red squirrels, nuthatches and lizards galore. The village and setting was peaceful and relaxing and it was an easy walk into Quillan. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday with two teenagers and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Just an aside, and nothing to do with the property, but we’d recommend bringing insect repellent for the whole region of the Pyrenees

Superbe villa avec piscine

La maison est tres bien équipée, dans un endroit calme, sans vis à vis. Il y a un grand terrain avec de beaux arbres, une belle piscine avec transat etc. Le seul bémol: quelques moustiques en extérieur en fin de journée. Il y a plein d’activités possibles dans les alentours, Marie nous a fourni quelques idées et on trouvé des cartes et brochures dans la maison.

Maison très agréable et bien équipée pour des vacances nature

La maison est très agréable avec une grande terrasse, un terrain spacieux et une grande piscine bordée de plantes et d’arbres. Tout est très bien équipé en particulier la cuisine avec grande cuisinière, double four et tous ustensiles. Quelques beaux châteaux cathares à visiter dans les environs mais ce sont surtout les randonnées à pied et en vélo et les activités sur l’Aude qui font l’attrait de la région. La petite ville de Quillan est accessible à pied ou en vélo à 2 km avec un marché et tous commerces.

Cadre et piscine charmants

La maison était très propres, elle est spacieuse et lumineuse. Un des grand atout de cette maison est bien évidement la piscine, indispensable pour profiter de la chaleur de la région. Il y a également un grand terrain pour jouer avec les enfants. La cuisine est très bien équipée. Une petites attention des propriétaires nous attendais à notre arrivée, ce qui nous a fait fort plaisir. Un super séjour dans une super maison!

Highly recommended

We (a family of 4) had a great time in Ginoles. The house is spatious, has a large garden (where deers could come according to the (Dutch!) gardener, traces were there but we missed them) and has great views. The large pool has 100% privacy and is a great place to stay at a hot day. The house is excellent equiped and maintained. It lies on a quiet road. The adjacent village Quillan (1km down the road) has a cosy, typical French Place de la Republique where you can drink your coffee or wine (Covid 19 measures apply!). Ginoles/Quillan is a good, central location to make trips. We went to Perpignan in the east and Foix in the west, Carcassone in the north and Serrabone Priory in the south. And lots of places in between. We had a very pleasent contact with the owners, Annie and Marie. We highly recommend a stay! Joost and Ineke

large and well-equipped house

A beautiful, large house that is suitable for a large group of people. It has a nicely equipped kitchen, spacious living room and beautiful rooms. Everywhere there is also enough storage space for your own belongings that you have with you. We found the house itself very nicely decorated. There are many hiking trails in the area and in a few minutes you are in the center of Quillan. We had a lovely time and are looking forward to come back next year.
