Holiday rental property in the Languedoc with roof terrace

Introduction

The twisting medieval streets of Caux. A row of ordinary-looking tumble-down village houses. Step through the door into this property and you will be amazed.

Entering directly into the living room, you will see the original high vaulted ceiling that formed part of the original rampart fortress. Beautifully restored to an extremely high standard, the property is a tasteful and fascinating mixture of original features and modern necessities, including high-speed internet access.

All fixtures and fittings have been carefully thought-out and chosen for their aesthetic values and practicality.

A fantastic winding staircase lifts you throughout the house - its huge master bedroom, large, immaculate bathroom, summer kitchen and living area opening to a spacious roof terrace with panoramic views over the village and vineyards beyond.

(Second mezzanine bedroom available to sleep 2)

Tear yourself away from the house, just steps into the traditional village with all shops and restaurants. Vineyards surround the village like green oceans, while the Mediterranean and its beaches and seafood restaurants lies a short drive away.

Please note - property is not suitable for children under 10.
