Un accueil chaleureux (et avec pleins de cadeaux!), une maison bien agencée, bien équipée. Des pièces spacieuses. il est appréciable d'avoir une salle de bain + WC pour chaque chambre. Un jardin juste incroyable, un terrain de tennis, une table de pingpong et de quoi ranger des vélos. La région est belle, belles ballades à vélo et aussi à pieds. Encore merci à Peter et à Tom.
For a truly relaxing break, you really can’t go wrong with a stay at the fabulous En Gineste. We were 2 older and 4 young adults and plenty to keep everyone happy - tennis, ping pong, pool time, boules or simply relaxing with a good book at one of the many secluded spots around the garden. The cottage was extremely comfortable with everything you could want. Lots of animal company too with the fabulous Mary and Walter (dogs) and Angie (chicken). Well placed for day trips to Carcasonne, Toulouse, Albi and closer to home we found Soreze a beautiful spot. Peter and Tom have created a wonderful retreat and were delightful hosts ensuring we had a great stay. We hope to return again sometime.
We had a very nice few days at Peter’s place. We loved the house and the setting. The house was really comfortable and had everything you might need for a few days away. The area is truly wonderful and we enjoyed exploring different villages and Toulouse. I would recommend the house and the area.
We had a wonderful stay at 'En Gineste' - the location is so beautiful and peaceful and the gite itself has everything that you would possibly require. We loved the pool (which was definitely needed for the 40 degree temperatures!), ping pong and tennis courts. Peter and Tom are great hosts and we would love to return in the future.
When ‘superhost’ is listed, I’ve often wondered exactly what it meant, now I know. Our hosts were perfect, every detail and thing you might have forgotten were available. Great tour on arrival. Wonderful accommodation. Mary and Walter were wonderful, temporary, additions to our family too 🐶
En Gineste is situated at the foot of the famous Black Mountains - the south-westernmost spur of the great European Massif Central and part of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park.
Walkers who wind their way up its forested slopes are rewarded with some of the region’s most stunning views.
The surrounding countryside offers exceptional excursions for cyclists, with access to the Tarn cycle path just a few minutes’ ride from the house.
Around fifteen minutes’ drive away are the quaint village of Sorèze, with its famous abbey and monthly antiquarian book fair; the medieval market town of Revel, renowned for its weekly food market; and the idyllic Lac de Saint-Ferreol, whose cluster of lakeside restaurants buzz with diners during summer evenings.
Art lovers have close to hand both the Goya Museum in nearby bustling Castres and the outstanding Musée Toulouse-Lautrec in the historic prefecture town of Albi.
A little further afield (each about an hour by car) are the extraordinary medieval fortress citadel of Carcassonne and France’s sublime ville rose, Toulouse. Both cities have airports with direct UK connections.
自我介绍
I moved here from London with my partner Tom in September 2019 for a more peaceful life in the beautiful countryside of south west France. In my previous existence I owned and ran a successful floating music venue on the River Thames called The Battersea Barge, and am also a musician. Tom was (and still is) a book dealer and he worked for many years in one of the few remaining bookshops on Charing Cross Road called Any Amount of Books. We discovered En Gineste at the end of a two-week property search throughout the south of France, immediately fell in love with the house and gardens and moved in six months later. Our first job was to convert the derelict old caretaker's cottage and turn it into a comfortable three bedroom/three bathroom gite.
