The house

Space, light and a garden to come home to

Behind the façade on the Grand Rue lies a generous family home with high ceilings, tall French windows and a grand staircase that is the heart of the house. Every guest room looks out over the garden.

On the ground floor, a generous entrance hall with the grand staircase leads to the living room. Along the garden side lie the kitchen, the dining room and the library, with an office and laundry room tucked away behind. The two upper floors each hold five bedrooms with their own shower room and WC, and the three garden-side rooms on the first floor each have their own balcony, so the house works beautifully as a chambres d'hôtes, as a large family home, or as a combination of both.

A separate gîte, solar panels and a 7 × 14 m pool in the walled garden, with its palm and olive trees, complete the picture. Air conditioning will be added in 2027.

Location

A location that sells itself

Homps sits right on the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the middle of the Minervois vineyards. The village has its own port, restaurants within walking distance and the Lac de Jouarres just outside. The medieval village of Minerve and the Cathar castles of the Corbières make for wonderful day trips.

From here, Carcassonne, Narbonne and the Mediterranean are all within easy reach, and four airports make it simple for guests to arrive from across Europe. It is exactly this combination of canal, wine, culture and sea that keeps the rooms full.
