South facing with views of the Pyrenees, Corbieres and vineyards and sunflowers amongst gently rolling hills. With a large gravelled driveway there is plenty of room for private parking for our guests. An ancient gnarled and twisted olive tree at the front makes a wonderful spot to enjoy the view or watch the night sky.
The house has a handsome facade with each room having the benefit of two large double windows. Based on three floors it is a light, spacious and airy residence. Period features such as panelling in the hallway, original tiling and open fireplaces.
Sympathetically furnished, the house is ideal for families or group holidays and those seeking stylish accommodation. and with 500 sqm of living space everyone has plenty of elbow room.
