Luxury two bed apartment with private heated pool

This is a spacious, luxury apartment with its own balcony, sun terrace and private heated indoor pool. Having two large double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the accommodation would comfortably house four people. There is also a single bed and travel cot available which could be provided upon request.

Situated on the ground floor of a large villa, the apartment has been thoughtfully designed so that guests have their own parking space and separate entrance door with complete privacy from the rest of the house and exclusive use of the pool room and sun terrace. The large kitchen is very well equipped and includes a Smeg range cooker, large American style fridge/freezer, coffee machine, microwave, washing machine and dish washer. The lounge is equipped with surround sound TV, DVD player and cosy seating around a beautiful wood burner. For those hot summer days, the apartment is also equipped with air-conditioning.
The pool benefits from ceiling to floor sliding glass windows allowing the outside in and is heated all year round to an average water temperature of 27 degrees.

The villa is in an elevated position, overlooking the hamlet of Ginoles les Bains. There are amazing views of the mountains which surround the hamlet. It is a nature lover's paradise and one can regularly see eagles and vultures rising on the thermal drafts from the land below. The night sky above the house is spectacular. You can sit and watch the Milky Way glide across the sky!
The town of Quillan is a 15 minute stroll from the house. It has many fine hotels, bars and restaurants and a local market twice a week. There are a number of individual shops in town and a large well-stocked supermarket on the outskirts. The town has a busy events calendar throughout the year, with outdoor concerts, exhibitions, cycle races and even motor races.
There is a bus and a train station, and the town is well-connected to historic Carcassonne to the North and the Mediterranean resorts to the South East.
The city of Perpignan is 75 minutes away and the picturesque seaside town of Collioure is only 90 minutes from the house.
Limoux, home of "Blanquette de Limoux", the sparkling wine invented by monks and the original "champagne", is only 29 km away.
Quillan is situated in the heart of Cathar country and is within easy driving distance of many Cathar castles. For followers of the Da Vinci code, Rennes-le-Château, where Bérenger Saunière allegedly discovered treasure, is very close at hand.
For those of an active persuasion, there are kayaking, canoeing and white water rafting activities close by, and in Winter the nearest ski resort is only 35 km away.
Close by is a swimming lake which has a lovely beach around it on which you can sunbathe or enjoy water sports.

If you are searching for extra bedrooms, why not try our other apartment (in the same building).

The perfect holiday
The hosts were absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful! Everything was fresh and clean, the apartment was very comfortable and private, even the welcome pack we got was lovely! The apartment had all the amenities we needed like a lovely kitchen, a dishwasher & washing machine, and even access to a heated indoor pool! The location of the apartment is perfect, with amazing views of the mountains and nature while still being very close to the town centre (Quillan). My partner and I have visited the area before, but this time there were new restaurants and bars in town which made our stay even more enjoyable. The town market which is on twice a week was also such a treat, very lively with lots of various stalls where you can find local, fresh produce as well as souvenirs of all kinds. One of the most relaxing holidays we’ve had, thank you Liz & Al!

Heated indoor pool and friendly welcome from onsite hosts.
Arrived tired, cold and damp, following long drive on rainy and unseasonably cold day. Greeted with friendly hosts who showed us around cosy apartment with log fire blazing. All seemed bigger than online photos. Well stocked kitchen and welcome pack of various treats, including local speciality of Limoux. Everywhere beautifully clean. Soon settled in, ready to explore our beautiful rooms with comfortable beds, soft bedding, and well-chosen furniture both modern and antique, all harmonising perfectly in this mountain apartment. An added touch were the fresh flowers everywhere. We came to relax, and relax we did! Cleaning is included for end of holiday, and no book of 'rules'! Liz and Alan are the best of hosts, and help their guests enjoy their holiday to the full. We had a well heated pool to enjoy whenever we wished, a balcony to relax on, sofas and blankets to curl up with to read by the log fire, or sun loungers to doze on, or to watch clouds go by and perhaps see a vulture or an eagle riding the thermals. Views from balcony are wonderful, impossible to capture effectively on camera. Atmosphere of peace and calm, with birdsong, fresh clear air, and views that change dramatically with weather and time of day. These will live on in our memory. Lucky Alan and Liz to live here and to enjoy these sights every day. They are truly wonderful hosts, discrete, thoughtful, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for making our holiday such a wonderful experience.

Gemütliche Ferienwohnung in bester Lage mit tollem Pool und einzigartiger Aussicht
Unser Aufenthalt in La Blanquetiere war wirklich einmalig. Das Apartment is sehr komfortabel, sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Super war wirklich der angenehme, warme Pool und der direkte Blick auf die Ausläufer der Pyreneen. Es ist eines der höchstgelegenen Hauser in der Gegend und hat daher die beste Aussicht auf die eindrucksvollen Berge. La Blanquetiere ist sehr ruhig gelegen, ideal zum Entspannen. Es ist Mitten in der Natur gelegen und die nähere Umgebung ist super zum Wandern oder um Outdoor Sport zu betreiben. Besitzer Liz und Alan aus England waren sehr freundlich und konnten uns einige gute Tipps zur Umgebung geben. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!

Brilliant !
We were welcomed to a beautiful apartment with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, and our hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We had sun all weekend so got full use of the terrace sun loungers and the luxurious indoor pool. Its a very quiet and peaceful location, and the local village is also a short walk away and has some gorgeous streets lined with nice looking restaurants and bars, though unfortunately because of a national lockdown they’re closed at the moment. We'd love to check them out when we return (hopefully soon). Thank you!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend the place. This beautiful apartment was very well equipped with some thoughtful attention to detail, including a welcome hamper of treats which awaited us on our arrival. The bed was comfortable and all linen was provided, including towels. It was wonderful to relax in our own private, heated indoor pool and enjoy a glass or two of wine on our terrace whilst soaking up the stunning mountain views. We left feeling rested and rejuvenated, as though we’d stayed in a retreat and stepped out of the world. When faced with a slight problem of not being able to find some required kitchen utensils, we contacted the owners and it was quickly resolved. We will definitely return. Absolutely fantastic value for money!

Wundervoller Aufenthalt in Ginoles
Wir durften für eine Woche zu Gast bei Liz und Alan sein, die uns sehr herzlich empfangen und jederzeit hilfreich zur Seite gestanden haben. Bei Ankunft fanden wir zur Begrüßung einen großen Korb mit exklusiven lokalen Produkten vor. Die Wohnung ist ruhig gelegen, sehr komfortabel eingerichtet, sehr sauber und verfügt über eine umfangreiche Ausstattung. Hervorzuheben ist der sehr große Pool, der zur alleinigen Benutzung zur Verfügung steht. Besondere Ausflugsziele in der Umgebung sind Carcassonne sowie eine Fahrt mit dem Train Rouge von Axat aus. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten findet man in Quillan. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in Ginoles und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen. Vielen Dank an Liz und Alan.

The flat is in a quiet location, very comfortably furnished, very clean and has extensive facilities. The very large pool, which is available for exclusive use, deserves special mention. Special excursion destinations in the area are Carcassonne and a ride on the Train Rouge from Axat. Shopping facilities can be found in Quillan. We had a very enjoyable week in Ginoles and would love to return anytime. Many thanks to Liz and Alan.

La maison est conforme à la description. Nous sommes ravis par la mise à disposition de tonnes d’accessoires de piscines, mais aussi dans le logement, consommables (café, sucre, thé, épices… etc) , bien plus qu’il n’en faut. Les lits sont confortables, la piscine chauffée est plus grande que ce que laisse paraître les photos. Alan et Liz sont très agréables, discret, des personnes adorables qui sont vraiment au petit soin au vue de l’équipement de la maison, et aussi de leur cadeau de bienvenue (que je ne détaillerai pas ici pour laisser la surprise). Au niveau de la localisation, la maison est facile à trouver au bout de l’impasse, située dans un petit village calme, mais avec supermarché à 10min. Je recommande

Quantité et Qualité
Tout d'abord, on ne manque de rien dans cette location, vous pouvez presque venir les mains vides. Thé, café, condiments, huile, panier gourmand ! Lave-linge, lave-vaisselle, cuisinière 6 gaz, des ventilateurs dans toutes les pièces, la clim, des sources de lumière de partout. Literie hyper confortable, avec linge de maison et serviettes. 3 salles de bains en comptant celle de la piscine (!). La piscine, ah, pouvoir se baigner la nuit, seulement éclairé par la lune qui chevauche les montagnes alentours, quel bonheur ! Ces montagnes qu'on peut admirer en mangeant sur la terrasse. Les propriétaires vivent au-dessus mais il faut le savoir tellement ils sont discrets, mais disponibles. Les lacs alentours, à plus ou moins d'altitude, méritent un plongeon, les vieux châteaux et quelques villes comme Carcassonne ou Alet méritent le coup d'oeil. En résumé, vous aurez ici le calme et la quiétude, des étoiles dans les yeux, et la tristesse de devoir en repartir.
