A beautiful village house
A character home in the medieval village of Caunes Minervois, nestled at the foot of the Montagne Noire, in the heart of the Languedoc wine-growing region, Cathar country and Tour de France territory.
The house, built over centuries but stripped back to the medieval walls, has a secluded outside courtyard, views of the Romanesque abbey, and the Pyrenees. It sleeps 6, has 2 bathrooms, living, dining, kitchen, all newly upgraded, and a lovely library/2nd lounge on the top floor.
The historic medieval village, at the edge of the Montagne Noire National Park, is a fabulous base from which to explore Cathar castles, cycle Tour de France stages, visit the ancient cities of Carcassonne, Narbonne, Beziers, walk, indulge in fresh village food, markets, and the wines of the Languedoc- Roussillon region. The beach is just 45 minutes away.

Manifique!
What an absolutely wonderful time we have just spent in Caunes Minervois - everything we hoped for and more. Taking the house for a month allowed us to really get a feel for the village although for 2 of us it was a return visit after 13 years! The house is extremely comfortable and all amenities are excellent. We were lucky enough to win the toss and get the top floor bedroom with adjoining lounge which had such a beautiful outlook across the roof tops to the distant hills. Trying to understand the instruction sheets for the washing machine and cooker was interesting as there was no English translation but with the use of Google we managed to work things out! We are more than happy to thoroughly recommend the house and would like to say a big "thank you" to Elizabeth for letting us stay. On the down side was as Australians and New Zealanders BBQ is second nature and we would have loved to have been able to do this in the courtyard.

Lovely, remodeled home in the center of the village
This tastefully remodeled home is quite spacious, with a full "suite" on the top level (with bedroom, bathroom and sitting area) and two, large bedrooms on the middle floor. It has a good kitchen for cooking and a private courtyard for dining (and safe-keeping of race bikes for the cyclists). The bakery is walking distance for fresh croissants and bread. The village abbey is around the corner and worth a visit. There is good cycling, nice walking routes and interesting places to visit in the area. I would definitely recommend this to friends as a nice place to stay.
