Superb gîte, Heated Pool near Carcassonne next to Canal du Midi -

At the edge of a lovely village in the south Minervois of the Languedoc, right alongside the spectacular Canal du Midi & only 15min away from the famous walled Medieval Cite of Carcassonne. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This listing is for Olive Tree which has an aspect over the garden. We also offer another gîte, Canal View, which has a view over the lock at Marseillette. This other gîte can be found under the reference 52941. We find a few guests like to book both gîtes as it is the perfect opportunity to holiday with up to 8 guests. Both gîtes are fully equipped, each sleeping 4 + Cot, which can prove to be an ideal base to explore the many attractions in and around the area.

A large HEATED SWIMMING POOL 10m by 5m (32 x 16ft) with Roman steps for easy access and spacious surrounding terrace .(May - Oct) Both gîtes share the relaxing pool which is set in approx. 2 acre garden. 8 sun lounger’s and 3 reclining chairs are provided around the pool on the large decking and tiled surround, offering spacious and unobtrusive sunbathing area with extensive views of the hills and vineyards.

Good for cycling!
Great location by the Canal du Midi, which has a cycle route alongside. We cycled in both directions, and another day took the bikes by car to cycle further away. Also good access to Carcassonne and supermarkets by car. Comfortable gite, looks just like the photos. Enough kitchen equipment and a three-ring induction hob for eating in. Good-sized fridge and freezer. Despite being quite windy during our stay we still managed to use the table tennis table and the pool. Quiet and relaxing place to stay.

Olive Tree
Lovely setting in an idyllic village beside the canal. Carcassonne and the beaches near Narbonne, are easily accessible on excellent roads. The village is quite tranquil, with a little shop open part of the day and a busy cafe serving good food throughout. There is a wide choice of supermarkets with the nearest just a few miles away and more than adequate. The house is tastefully furnished and has everything you could possibly require. The grounds are wide, well tended and ideal for relaxing in with plenty of high standard garden furniture. The pool is immaculate.

Very enjoyable week staying in Olive Tree. Gite, garden and pool were all excellent with friendly and helpful owners. Good location, with Carcassonne a short drive away, vineyards nearby and hills to the north and south. We would definitely like to return.

Lovely relaxing stay, wish it could have been for longer. Adrian and Ann-Marie are super hosts. The gite was clean and comfortable and well furnished with everything we needed. The outside deck was perfect for meals and relaxing in the afternoons/evenings after visiting local villages. And the pool was warm and a great size - we often had it all to ourselves. Would highly recommend.

Very dog friendly
It’s a really lovely place to stay, excellent hosts and a large garden with a large pool. It was ideal for us as we took our 2 dogs. Being right on the Canal de Midi it was ideally placed for dog walks, cycling etc. The local bar is a10 minute walk away and we used it regularly. There are plenty of restaurants within a short drive. We can highly recommend and will be returning

Lovely stay
We stayed for two weeks at the end of June in Olive Tree. The property was very clean and had all the equipment you need. The outside decking area is a sun trap all day long but if you need shade then the covered area is ideal. The pool and sunbathing area were very clean with plenty of sun loungers. Marseillette is a quiet village with only one bar/restaurant but there is a pizza van, burger van and curry delivery on certain days of the week. The supermarket in Capendu nearby is about a five to ten minute drive away. Other supermarkets are in Trebes which is about fifteen minutes by car. You can drive to Carcassone centre within twenty five minutes and there are even larger supermarkets nearby. Overall, we had a lovely stay and Adrian and Ann-Marie were very good hosts who both suggested places of interest and were available if needed. We would recommend the gite to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay with lovely walks on your doorstep up and down the Canal du Midi.

This was our second visit to Olive Tree Cottage, facilities are excellent, the Gite has everything you need and is exceptionally clean. We love the peaceful location and being able to relax by the pool after a day exploring the area. Adrian and Anne-Marie the owners are helpful and can suggest places of interest to visit. There is a supermarket and restaurants in the nearby town of Trebes.

This was a charming property, very well kitted out with everything you would need. The owners were very helpful in advising us on the location of supermarkets, restaurants etc. The pool and surrounding area are also very good with plenty of sun loungers and chairs and enough shade under the olive trees should you need it.

Olive Tree Cottage is in a great location adjacent to the canal. It is set in beautiful peaceful gardens with a pool. Cottage is well equipped, clean and modern. The owners are helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble, and advised us on places to visit. There is a supermarket a short drive away in Trebes and also a few restaurants next to the canal in a lovely setting.

Superbe gîte au bord du canal du midi
Le gîte d'Anne Marie et Adrian est un endroit juste idéal pour passer des vacances dans cette belle région. Au pied de l'écluse c'est le départ privilégié de ballade à vélo le long du canal. La piscine est super et nous a permis de nous détendre et de nous amuser en famille. Le gîte est parfait pour une famille de 4, propre et tout confort avec une terrasse agréable donnant sur le beau jardin. Je recommande à 100% ce logement. Merci encore à Anne Marie pour son accueil chaleureux.

Superbe maison avec magnifique jardin! Emplacement au top
Nous avons passé des vacances les plus reposantes et agréables possibles dans cette propriété extrêmement soignée. Tout est bien pensé par les propriétaires charmants et très accueillants. Leur jardin est superbe entre les oliviers et le canal du Midi. Les jeux extérieurs parfaits pour les enfants entre ping-pong, trampoline et balançoire (et les parents aussi!). L’emplacement est idéal, au calme, dans un village agréable, proche de nombreux sites remarquables. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux et repartons avec de magnifiques souvenirs. La portion du canal à cet endroit est superbe (dans les deux sens). Petite auberge juste à côté avec des plats maison excellents. Merci pour les attentions délicates et la qualité de votre gîte à tous les niveaux. A recommander et à refaire!

wunderschönes Ferienhaus Nähe Carcassonne
Das Ferienhaus "Olive Tree" ist wunderschön eingerichtet, gemütlich und blitzsauber. Alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Es befindet sich auf einem riesigen Grundstück mit herrlichem Pool. Die Lage ist perfekt um das Land der Katharer zu erkunden, Carcassonne und Narbonne sind nicht weit, das Haus befindet sich unmittelbar am Canal de Midi. Besonders positiv ist der Kontakt zur Vermieterin und dem freundlichen Labrador der uns gerne auf der Terrasse besuchte. Dieses Ferienhaus ist absolut empfehlenswert, wir würden es sofort wieder buchen.
