Les Vignes de Carcassonne - CARC117Q

Les Vignes de Carcassonne is composed of two beautifully refurbished, air-conditioned properties in the heart of a 175-acre working vineyard bordering the Canal du Midi, close to Carcassonne in the Languedoc-Roussillon and less than 1 hour from sandy Mediterranean beaches. This is the perfect property for family groups with two separate, fully equipped houses, a shallow children's pool alongside the main swimming pool, and a huge converted barn with summer kitchen and al-fresco dining facilities for all.

Part of a small vineyard hamlet, both properties, formerly the manor house and farmhouse, have been sympathetically refurbished, each offering unique character with all modern comforts. A large gravelled terrace runs the length of both houses with trees providing dappled shade to escape the mid-day sun. Dining for the whole party is available in the covered barn adjacent to the pool, just 20 metres from both houses. The surrounding buildings and barns are still used by the estate but one has been converted into a function room which you can hire for special events or celebrations.
