About the home

This lovely terraced gite, one of 5 similar ones available, overlooks the swimming pool of a former wealthy wine-producer and trader's house in Olonzac, the 'capital' of the Minervois wine-producing region. The owners have thought about everything to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable.

Ideal perhaps for a romantic holiday for 2, or house-hunting or sight-seeing in the area, the gites were converted from the stables & staff quarters of the old house. They comprise a comfortable living-room & galley-style kitchenette on the ground floor, and a spacious bedroom and shower room on the 1st floor. They each have a small gravelled terrace outside with table & chairs, and further tables and chairs are available for you to use in the large garden. The municipal park next door was once part of the garden but now provides a pleasant place to stroll.

The property has a lovely, large swimming pool in the garden and a outdoor spa pool/jacuzzi, ideal for relaxing in after a day's sightseeing.

Situated in the lively town of Olonzac which has shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and a Tuesday morning colourful market - all just a few steps away. Despite being in the town, the garden location is both enchanting and calm.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The living/dining area and kitchenette are all open-plan on the ground floor . The TV receives UK satellite channels and the gites are centrally-heated making them ideal for an out-of-season holiday. The galley-style kitchenette is well-equipped with fridge/freezer, oven, microwave, and all crockery & utensils. There is a washing-machine in a communal area which belongs to the owner; you can use it with permission - and an iron and ironing board on request.

The gites do not themselves have internet access but a WiFi connection via your own laptop is normally available on the exterior terrace of the main house.

On the 1st floor is a double bedroom over-looking the pool, with hanging and storage. The shower room has a power shower, washbasin and w.c.

Further details outdoors:
Outside the gite is a gravelled terrace with table and chairs for al fresco dining. A barbecue is available for your use. There's a large garden for you to wander in and further tables and chairs should you prefer to sit in the shade of the trees. Further chairs and sun-loungers are available by the 5m x 13m large swimming pool and a spa pool/jacuzzi and poolside shower.

Car parking is available on the side road adjacent to the property.
