Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mark Fox
I have an obsession about personal service, not just machines with endless tape recordings an options and waiting 20 minutes to be answered! I always make sure that I or my agents are available at the end of my mobile if needed. My motto is "personal holidays with personal service".
We are all from London. I am a retired banker and my wife is a doctor. We started buying holiday homes because we were consistently disappointed with the quality of other places when we started renting self-catering places as a young family. Hotels didn't offer proper flexibility for small kids, and self-catering was either very basic or ridiculously expensive jet-set places.
Our children are now adults, but the business has grown as we found that others like our choice of locations and standards. Some of our guests have stayed in all five of our holiday homes, sometimes 3 or 4 times in the same one.
Over 1900 guests a year now stay at ou holiday homes. The average rating of over 250 online reviews is 4.9! I try to deliver consistency and quality.
Self catering should be about high quality and compete with a good hotel experience, not just renting someone else's place.

Why they chose this property
There are a lot of properties in the Languedoc, so why this one? We wanted somewhere in a traditional French medieval village. The countryside is glorious, but not as practical. The convenience of walking to shops, bars and restaurants was important, and it feels much more "French" to become a part of the village, even if only a week or two. A "vignernon" is a house originally owned by a winemaker - this one was built in 1860. It is full of character with lots of space and light, but so much nicer than a modern concrete villa. A large pool and sun terrace as well as outdoor dining was important. The house hadn't been modernised for about 80 years, so we had to do everything - it has every modern feature, but keeps its old feel. Ginestas is a friendly, small village full of tradition, literally surrounded by vineyards, but just 30 minutes' drive from the sea and the town of Narbonne with all its facilities.
What makes this property unique
Lots of space and a large pool, but within a friendly French country village, not somewhere in the countryside.
Everything about the house is traditional French. From the shutters to the original tiled floors throughout, and giant wrought iron bannisters with glass finials. The furniture is a mile away from flatpack chipboard, self-assembly. It is tough enough so that you don't have to worry about the kids, but proper French furniture.
There are lots of modern, semi-identical villas on small housing estates. that is absolutely NOT what we wanted. We wanted somewhere with French character through and through to give a unique experience, not just a house with a pool and a bit of sunshine (although it certainly has that too!). Several of our guests have said that the house is a destination in its own right, which is just what we wanted.
