About this villa rental

La Maison Des Vignes (The House of Vines) sits in the heart of the lovely village of Tourouzelle, in the sunny Occitanie area of the South of France midway between the beaches of the Mediterranean and the medieval city of Carcassonne.

Situated in the Minervois and bordering the Corbiere wine regions, this former vigneron estate dates back to the 1600s and is built in the traditional stone typical of the region.

The architect-designed, renovated barn conversions have created 3 spacious gites (with Air Conditioning) which have all the character of the old stone walls, high ceilings and original wooden beams, combined with all the comforts and mod cons that will make your stay here all the more pleasurable.

Gite Olivier sleeps 4-6 people in 2 or 3 bedrooms and has 3 well-equipped bathrooms a private courtyard and gas barbeque. There is also a heated swimming pool in the landscaped, walled gardens.

Access is via secluded gardens and to the front of the gite is a large terrace that is set up for outdoor dining and has a sturdy table and chairs & Weber gas BBQ.

From the terrace you enter the spacious (41m²) lounge (with air conditioning), dining and kitchen area which has wooden floors, high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and original exposed stone wall. There is a comfortable sofa and seating area, TV and an indoor dining area.

Bedroom 1 has a comfortable king-size bed, table d'appoint and wardrobe, french windows lead onto the terrace. The en-suite bathroom has a powerful shower, WC and basin. Bedroom 2 has a king-size bed (the room can be made up with 2 single beds), chest of drawers and wardrobe. The adjacent bathroom has recently been renovated and has a large Italian walk in shower, WC and basin.

Bedroom 3 is in a separate courtyard annex (with air conditioning) and has a king-size bed (the room can be made up with 2 single beds), chest of drawers and wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom has also recently been renovated and has a large Italian walk in shower, WC and basin.

Beautiful location in a small quiet village yet only 20 minutes from Nabonne with the Mediterranean coast a few minutes further on. The hosts, Jonathan and Suzanna are lovely and go out of their way to make your holiday even better. The app for general information is really brilliant, the accommodation is perfect and really well equipped, the pool and outside areas equally great. There were five of us and we all loved it. Great place, great hosts.

Excellent week at this gite. Lovely pool and welcoming hosts. Tourouzelle and surrounding area has much to offer. Most notable for us were the beaches, Leucate Plage in particular. Weather stunning if very hot as the canicule hit south and mid France.

Jonathan and Suzanne are fantastic hosts. There was excellent communication prior to arrival and during our stay we were informed of local events and any questions we had about the area were promptly answered. The accommodation was clean and had everything that we needed. Our girls, 7 and 11, loved the swimming pool. The local shop/restaurant had what we needed and were so friendly and accommodating. We loved our holiday. Thank you so much 😊

Our party comprised two for the 1st week, and then we were joined by our daughter and her boyfriend for the 2nd. The overall impression of Tourouzelle and the surrounding countryside is wonderful. A beautiful village set in lush rolling countryside. Arriving at La Maison Des Vignes was not a disappointment, quietly settled in the centre of the village and yet secluded and not overlooked by other buildings. We had wonderful weather and the village looked at its best, no doubt. Jonathan quickly showed us the property and dealt with the few formalities. For us the layout of Olivier was perfect. The main building, with two double bedrooms, kitchen and sitting room, plus bathrooms, was perfect. Louise and Jon moved into the separate (within the same courtyard) building which comprises a double bedroom and very large bathroom. Both buildings are joined by the raised decked patio area with table, chairs and BBQ. A tree keeps the decked area in permanent dappled shade, a definite necessity in the low 30c temperatures we enjoyed throughout the 2 weeks. The pool is a very good size with plenty of room for 'proper' swimming, or just cooling off in the water. There is a very comprehensive information book in the gite providing information of local attractions, restaurants, activities etc which we found invaluable. Of the three gites within the property we felt that Olivier gave the best overall combination of privacy and access to the pool. It also has a separate entrance/exit to the rear of the building. Jonathan and Suzanna were excellent hosts and managed to get the balance just right in terms of being there if needed but leaving you to enjoy the place very much as if it was one’s own. Any concerns we may have had regarding the sharing of the pool area were immediately put aside once we met the others who were an extremely friendly and relaxed group of people. We all got on very well indeed. I do think that we were very lucky in this regard, and it is possible to imagine that things might have been slightly different if we had not all got on so well. Two highlights were the ‘introduction’ evening when all guest meet for a drink and canapés at Jonathan and Suzanna’s beautiful house which is within the same grounds. The second was the dinner at the Mayor’s house, where the Mayor and his wife entertained all of us to the most wonderful dinner. A really great evening! Overall we would highly recommend La Maison Des Vignes.
