A boutique Maison de Maître with private gîtes in the Minervois

Eloi Merle is an adults-only bed & breakfast: a grand 19th-century Maison de Maître at the heart of Olonzac. Stay in one of five rooms in the house, or in one of five independent gîtes tucked away in the peaceful private grounds.

Mornings begin with a generous à la carte breakfast, served in the garden whenever the weather allows – an unhurried start before exploring the vineyards, villages and gorges of the Minervois. Afterwards, the heated pool, shaded terraces and quiet corners of the garden are yours to enjoy.

Everything here is designed to help you slow down and feel at ease.

In the heart of the Minervois, near Carcassonne

Olonzac is the capital of the Minervois, close to the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne, Narbonne and the beaches of the Mediterranean. It's an easy base for cycling and walking, for wine tasting, and for groups who want space to themselves.

Rooms

Five elegant en-suite rooms in our 19th-century Maison de Maître, with high ceilings, original features and views over Olonzac or the garden.

Gîtes

Five independent self-catering gîtes for two in the private grounds, each with its own kitchen and outdoor seating, a short walk from the heated pool.

Amenities

A heated pool, shaded terraces, a pétanque pitch and a cool guest drawing room - everything you need to soak up the Languedoc sunshine.
