Within a short five-minute drive, you'll find two well-stocked supermarkets, and within just 20 minutes lies the vibrant city of Narbonne. There, you can explore its picturesque canal, magnificent cathedral, and indulge in the sensational seven-day indoor food market, offering an abundance of culinary delights.
The area surrounding the Gîte offers a wealth of facilities and activities.

People say the nicest things…
“We had the pleasure of staying a week in this gite and what a delight! Breakfast on the decking (bought from the boulangerie just a couple of minutes' walk away), looking out at spectacular views was simply idyllic. There are several restaurants within walking distance and we especially enjoyed Tapas at Oncle Jules. There is so much to visit in the area and our highlights included the chic town of Narbonne, historic Carcassonne, Gruisson for the beach and "moules-frites" and a great day out into the mountains to see the Chateau de Perpeyretuse. David is the perfect host and provided a lot of useful information about the gite and surrounding area. We would highly recommend staying in this fabulous location..”

"We want to thank you for the fantastic stay we've had at your property in Ginestas. The gîte was well equipped for two persons and the outside area was a great place to relax. The view from the deck is wonderful. The local bakery within 100 metres was a big plus. We have visited some nice villages like Lagrasse and Roquebrun and the city of Beziers. We've had very good tapas at L'Oncle Jules and in Le Somail there were some nice restaurants too. On top of that you were a very nice and friendly host!"

“Le logement de David se situe dans un petit village au coeur des vignes et dispose d'une terrasse (BBQ, transat à disposition...) ,très agréable avec "une petite piscine " qui permet de se rafraîchir après de longues excursions . La vue sur le village et sur les montagnes noires est magnifique. Il y a la possibilité d'effectuer de belles ballades notamment le long du canal du Midi et de visiter facilement aussi bien la région de l'Aude que l'Hérault. David is très accueillants , nous permettant d'arriver avant l'horaire prévu. De plus , David a été très disponible durant notre séjour. Je vous recommande les yeux fermés. Thank you very much David !!!!!”

"Sehr schöne Unterkunft am Rande eines kleinen Dorfes mit eigener großer Terrasse und "Weinfasspool" in einem Olivengarten gelegen. Gastgeber David war bei Ankunft vor Ort und für Rückfragen jederzeit ansprechbar. Der Dorfbäcker war zu Fuß in 2 min erreichbar. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge ans Meer, in die Montagne Noire und für Städtebesichtigungen wie Carcassonne und Narbonne."
