About Résidence de Homps
This delightful little apartment is located on a Résidence constructed about twelve years ago in the grounds of an elegant chateau. The ambience of this lovely location is peace and tranquillity.
This property would be perfect for a small family or a couple wanting a romantic weekend away from it all.
The Résidence offers a large, completely enclosed L-shaped pool with separate kiddies' paddling area. There are loungers all around so you can laze whilst keeping an eye on the children. In high season there is a bar and snacks service available by the pool so you won't need to nip back to the apartment for something cold and refreshing - it's all there for you!
The venue is surrounded by vineyards and within the 5 hectare park are woodlands which features a fitness trail and a magnificent 4-hundred year old oak tree.
In addition, there is a boules pitch, a basketball hoop, table tennis, a large grassed area perfect for kicking a ball around and a kiddie's playground.
The apartment has just about everything you could need during your stay. There is a double bedroom and a separate 'cabin' bedroom with curtain hiding bunk beds which is ideal for children aged 5 - 12 years; the kids will love this little niche all of their own.
The bathroom has a large walk-in shower and a separate WC. The kitchen area offers a hob, mini oven, microwave, coffee maker, washing machine and fridge (with ice box). The lounge/dining area is comfortable and has a TV (French channels), DVD player and a selection of DVDs. Sliding doors open onto a patio area with table and chairs and a decked area which, in turn, opens onto quiet, open communal space.
Barbecues can be held in the shared picnic area where there are tables and chairs and the opportunity to meet up with your neighbours.
In the high season, there is often live music to enjoy - and even dance to - near the bar area.
The nearest supermarket is about half a mile away whilst the village of Homps is about 1 mile away and right by the Canal du Midi, offering several restaurants, post office, an extensive wine "cave" and a few other local shops. Larger supermarkets, banks, markets etc are about 10 minutes' drive away.
All in all, this is an excellent base from which to explore the local area including the local wines of the Corbières and the Minervois with many wineries having their own "caves" with wine-tasting often available.
Internet is available in the property and also in some of the communal areas ie the pool and reception building.
