We stayed for 2 weeks in late August - 3 generations, myself and my husband, out 11 and 14 year old children and my parents in law. Overall we had a great holiday. The villa was everything it said it would be - plenty of space for us all inside and out. The Sky TV and Wifi were a real hit with the kids, as was the pool. Outside seating area was great too.
The area is also a real hit with us - providing us all with something we liked! Kayaking in nearby Puicheric was real value for money we thought. The market at Olonzac was charming, with a wide range of goods from fresh fruit and veg, spices, bread and cheeses to leather goods etc. Carcassonne was beautiful - we went early to avoid the crowds, as was Minerve. We also really enjoyed Beziers and Narbonne - 2 nice towns with lovely squares, bars and restaurants, as well as beautiful cathedrals.
Homps itself was also great and just suited out needs perfectly. You have a small local supermarket in walking distance, as well as 2 larger ones 5 mins drive away. There are several good bars and restaurants along the Canal - we particularly liked La Peniche for food, and Les Tonneliers for drinks and sorbet!
Overall a great family holiday!

This villa in Homps is a delightful family home, it’s perfectly set up and there was nothing we might need that hadn't already been thought of, very well appointed with good quality fit-out. The bedding was lovely, the beds comfortable and the pool area looked great with brightly coloured geraniums in rustic pots.
Homps is a great base for exploring this region of France and having bars and several restaurants within walking distance was fantastic and the area is certainly as good as we remembered from previous holidays.
We will highly recommend this place to all and sundry so expect an Aussie influx.

Stayed here second year running - first time with another couple and this time with out children (late teens). Lovely house, great pool and quiet location in a village that has bars and restaurants within close walking distance (and shops) along the Canal Midi. Very enjoyable and in wine region for tasting/ buying. Owner easy to deal with so a simple transaction.
