Home description
The gite is in the heart of a traditional French hill top village in the Razes, and has lovely views of the surrounding area.
The french doors open into an L-shaped open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen. Directly from the kitchen a glazed door leads to the utility room with separate wc and door to the outside. Another door off the kitchen leads into the hall with an oak spiral staircase rising to the first floor where there are three spacious double bedrooms and a family shower room (large shower, wc and wash basin).
Outside is a secluded decked terrace. The terrace is perfect for catching the sun, eating alfresco and admiring the stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and countryside of the Malepere region of France.
