Dating back to the 19th century, this characterful house in Minervois is packed with personality. Best of all, you'll be able to tour the owner's biodynamic vineyard and winery too. Spread across three floors, the house presents plenty of space for up to eight guests to make themselves at home. And with the top floor set up as a large open space, you can use it to do yoga, work from home or simply relax with good wine and friends. Open up the French doors of the ornate country-style kitchen and step outside to the covered terrace area. Here you'll have the perfect setup for blissfully long lunches paired with some local wine (of course!) in the sunshine. After a hike back from the village, take a refreshing dip in the private swimming pool or put your feet up on one of the loungers. Offering a truly authentic stay, the home invites guests to soak up the charm of village life n the south of France and its surrounding landscapes. And when you're keen to venture further afield, the historic town of Carcassonne is reachable in just half an hour's drive. Meanwhile, the Languedoc coastline is only about an hour... by car.

About France
You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...
