A comfortable home, with a private sunny roof terrace in a peaceful location.
Gite Liberté is located in a peaceful street in the older part of the village. The comfortable house, built in the 19th century, can easily cater for four people.
Amongst the Minervois vineyards you will come across the bustling village of Aigues Vives, which lies en route to the Parc National de Haut Languedoc. This is Aigues Vives, post code 34210. Not to be confused with Aigues Vives some 15 miles away in the Aude department.
Aigues Vives offers its own boulangerie, epicerie, small supermarket, an auberge & Le Restaurant des Amis. You can also sample the lovely wines of the independent winegrowers in the village or you can pop down to the Cave Cooperative that has its own wine-selling outlet. But if you prefer, you can easily take a stroll around the old part of the village or into the open countryside to walk amongst the vineyards.
You access the house from a small gateway into a shady courtyard. Going through the front door you will see the large fireplace with its woodburner, its beautiful ceiling of lath and plaster & an old stone sink. This room, cool in summer & warm in winter with its woodburner, is perfect for watching DVDs. To the rear of the room is a utility room where you will find the washing machine.
Taking the stairs to the next floor you arrive in the spacious kitchen-diner with its exposed stone walls & ancient beams. The kitchen provides plenty of storage space, a fridge with small freezer, a large cooker with two ovens and storage space. Why not use the slow cooker to have a meal ready & waiting for you after your day out?
Next to the kitchen is a further sitting room with its lovely exposed stone wall & beamed ceiling. In here there is a radio/CD player with USB connection. If you favour the cool, this room too is perfect for escaping the heat. Or, if you prefer the outdoors, the balcony through the double doors off this room, is ideal to sit & read in the shade after the sun heads westwards during the morning.
On this floor you will find the well-equipped bathroom with a bath, overhead shower, bidet & toilet.
From the kitchen you take the stairs to the top floor. Here you will find two bright, sunny bedrooms each with a double bed & wardrobe. The larger bedroom has a dressing table & also has a sink. Both bedrooms have access to a roof terrace, perfect for gently waking up with that first cup of tea or coffee before the afternoon heat turns it into a sunbather’s paradise where you can watch the countless swifts swoop and swirl against the blue summer skies. On this floor there is also a cloakroom with a toilet & sink.
All the furnishings, towels and bed linen are of good quality and are provided free of charge. There are no additional charges for cleaning, electricity, linen or towels. All rooms have electric heating for the winter months. There is free parking just one minute’s walk away.
