Home description
One of two recently- and beautifully-renovated holiday homes set in an attractive garden with a pool in the village of La Liviniere, halfway between the Mediterranean coast and the medieval city of Carcassonne.
This spacious, welcoming gite has an attractive, modern dining/sitting room, a newly-fitted and fully-equipped kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms (1 on the ground floor, 2 on the first floor), two shower rooms (the shower in one of which is a hydro-massage type) and 2 separate WCs. The furniture in the living area is contemporary with 2 leather settees and a TV.
La Liviniere is associated with wine-making and if you enjoy wine this is a great area for wine-tastings and buying direct from the producers. The countryside and views over the Montagne Noir and the Pyrenees are lovely. It's also a great base for visiting the beaches, Narbonne, the Canal du Midi, and Carcassonne.

Guestbook
Excellent - larger than expected, very clean with good facilities. A beautiful, peaceful area we would recommend to all. The owners were very friendly. Mrs B, Sept 2007.
Gite Ivoire was excellent. The photos do not do it justice as it's much larger than it looks, as is the pool. We were very satisfied with the accommodation. Mr. R. July 2007.
We had a lovely time and the owners were very pleasant. It's a lovely family holiday base - a very reasonable price and good value. Mrs A - Sept 2007.
