Home description
The house has a typical Southern French ambience and is decorated to suit the pallette of the region. It is an ideal base for exploring the Languedoc. The village is set on the slopes of the mountains and is surrounded by vineyards, chateaux and wonderful scenery and is still only 17km from the nearest beach.
It is the perfect location for holidays that include hiking, cycling, exploring the historical chateaux and castles, beach activities, shopping and sightseeing..
The terrace in the Gite is ideal for relaxing and barbequing, with views through the valley and a chance to gaze at the canopy of stars. For those wanting a change from domestic chores, there is a charming bar/cafe within walking distance where one can sit under the vines and sip the local wines as well as enjoy a home-style cooked meal.

Guestbook
"Carolyn, so wanted to write as soon as we returned to thank you and exclaim over the beauty and comfort of your house. Thank you so much! For the lovely space, the wine, water, bread, coffee: they were so appreciated on the 8th day of our travels" Sandy.
"Just to say we enjoyed your gite very much. We found it beautifully clean and tidy, with just about everything one could want from a holiday home." The TV aerial has slipped on it's mast so we did not have TV the whole week. What a pleasure"
