General & History

A Magnificent Languedoc Chateau in 6 acres of peaceful gardens, with restaurant & heated pool, it provides the perfect environment for group bookings yet maintains space for individual privacy. There are 6 lovely rooms within the Chateau including 2 large 'family' rooms plus a 2 bedroom 'Chateau Suite' with 2 private patios and near to the pool.

There are 3 traditional French Cottages off the courtyard, a beautiful cottage in the gardens called The Monet House and another called 'Garden Cottage', adjacent to the Domaine. All are equipped with their own kitchen and living room facilities and have their own patio & barbeque. Children are welcome.

Set on the edge of a pretty little village surrounded by vineyards the Chateau is only 5 minutes from Le Canal Du Midi and the villages of Le Somail & Ventenac, 30 Minutes from the Sea, 40 minutes from the Parc Naturel Du Haut Languedoc, a stunning area of mountains, forests & gorges, 20 minutes from Les Corbieres and the start of the Cathar Castle tour. Surrounded by stunning countryside and a rich history there is plenty to satisfy all tastes but never enough time. There is unlimited walking in the area and bikes are available free, on a first to book basis.

Built in Napolionic 3rd Style around 1840, it was until 1983 a Grand Wine Domaine boasting the largest acreage of vines in the area and producing an AOC wine. In the late 80's most of the vineyards were sold off and the house modernised and sold on to private owners. Tim & Sasha fell in love with it immediately when it came on the market again in 2002, and a year later set about further modernising, renovating all the self-catering cottages and creating all the faciliies it now provides.
