It has stunning views, gardens, a small wine-producing vineyard and pine forest. It is peacefully situated on the Domaine, away from the roads, but with easy access to nearby Thezan village, Carcassonne, Cathar country, medieval Lagrasse, Narbonne, Perpignan and the Mediterranean beaches and etangs; even the ski slopes of the Pyrenees. Central heating makes it suitable for winter lets.
The interior features original stonewalling, open plan dining area, well equipped American-style kitchen, and lounge with patio doors. Tastefully furnished with period and modern furniture it has a romantic double bedroom, and a second bedroom with bunk beds. The gite has its own independent road access which assures guests’ privacy.
Guests are welcome to share the superb in-ground pool, [11 x 5.5 metres], which enjoys the sun for the whole day! It is also heated, which benefits those wishing to take holidays outside the normal spring/summer seasons. The water treatment is by the latest saline methods, which leaves the skin feeling so much nicer and avoids all the unpleasant effects of standard chlorination. It is of constant 1.5 metre depth and has Roman steps for ease of access. The pool also offers magnificent views across the surrounding countryside.
A high-walled courtyard contains a separate spring and small stream an original wine press and collecting vessels. In a secluded corner it also contains a powerful hydrotherapy spa which is available to guests.
