We spent over two weeks with Iola September, 2011. We had a beautiful restful time - in-between long bike rides through the vineyards of the Minervois.

Loved the location, the accommodation, Iiola the hostess and especially the fun wine tasting evening with Wendy. Had a mixture of days by the pool and day trips for the best of holidays. Good family holiday spot. Would definitely go back. Chris, Oxford
