About this property

Old house in the heart of the Minervois

Holiday home located in the pedestrian area of a charming village in the Minervois.
Old building, renovated retaining the authenticity of the place with all the comfort necessary to make it pleasant.
True haven of calm and freshness, this cottage will delight lovers of old stones.

On the ground floor is the reading room with two comfortable chaise lounges. This room is the coolest and most pleasant in summer especially.
The dining room / kitchen opens onto the terrace. It is in espalier on three levels, in the shade of a fig tree and leads up to the mezzanine lounge.
The mezzanine is the TV / DVD lounge area overlooking the attic bedroom.
On the first level is the second double bedroom and the bathroom / WC equipped with a walk-in shower.
The house has wireless internet access.

Very close to Minerve and the Cesse and Brian gorges, hiking enthusiasts will be delighted.
The village of La Caunette is located halfway between the sea and the city of Carcassonne and on the route of the Cathar castles!
You will find a cafe, restaurant, a small grocery store and a post office close to the house.

Beautiful patios in a quaint village
We loved the three levels of patios. Up, up, up until you felt you were in the tops of the trees and the mountains with the birds. Wonderful! The home was fine. When we got there we were exhausted with the many levels of stairs but soon that added to the wonderful characteristics of the home. After all, it is built into a gorge! It was tricky getting our suitcases up to the house. We worked that one out too. The village has lots of character. Cats and children laughing and playing in the piazza. A great place for our visit to the Languedoc.

Beautiful, quirky, and private
The setting is lovely, and also well placed for exploring the area. Though I could have spent all my time on the terrace watching the birds of prey, and lizards!

Wir kommen gerne wieder
Wir durften hier eine Woche Anfang August verbringen. Leider viel zu kurz, das Haus ist fantastisch. Es ist wunderschön restauriert und mit viel Liebe fürs Detail eingerichtet. Über verschiedenen Ebenen gebaut hat man viel Platz. Die Küche ist ebenfalls sehr gut, es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Das Highlight ist die Terrasse mit dem Feigenbaum, welcher uns bei der Augusthitze angenehmen Schatten spendete. Eine Oase der Ruhe. Das Dorf ist sehr klein, es gibt aber ein Café und ein fantastisches Restaurant. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Lenas Haus und kommen bestimmt einmal wieder.

A Lovely Accommodation in Minervois
Over the last eight years we’ve arranged medium and long term rentals for eight accommodations in Europe. Our three month rental of this house in La Caunette was very special in terms of comfort, furnishings, and all practical needs--- stocked kitchen supplies, new bathroom with shower, washing machine, wifi. Too, there was the attractive location in the heart of the old village and the lovely back terrace and garden that looks up at the dramatic cliff face above. The small village itself is charming, and the region rich in natural and human history: vineyards galore, mountains to the north, prehistoric sites, castles and chateaus, Midi Canal, Roman and medieval wonders in Narbonne. As importantly as all of these, all of our exchanges with the owner, Lena, were as pleasant as could be. The experience was excellent In every way.
