About this house rental

NB: PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY HIGH PRICES! THE PRICE IS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. TO SUIT THE ALGORITHM, WE INCREASED IT BY 20%, THEN ADDED 20% DISCOUNT FOR 7-DAY BOOKING (WHICH IS OUR MINIMUM STAY ANYWAY).

In October'26, we installed solar batteries and air conditioning, so the house is even more comfortable than before!

There aren't many properties like ours in the area: a large 19th century maison-de-maitre, traditional on the outside, modern inside, with spacious rooms and numerous communal spaces.
Our house, surrounded by hills and vineyards, stands on the edge of the picturesque wine-making village, with centuries-old rural traditions reflected both in its landscape and its mode of life.
The imposing maison-de-maitre dates back to 1874. We have lovingly restored it, added a swimming pool and 2 terraces, modern kitchen and lighting - and transformed it into a stylish, modern house that it is today. It provides comfortable home-from-home accommodation, with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture, and has two beautiful terraces for sitting out and dining, both facing the vineyards.
In spring'22 the house has undergone yet another stage of renovations, upcycled Poggenpohl kitchen was installed, with modern AEG appliances. Terraces and a bathroom were renovated to a high standard. In spring of 2024, the swimming pool terrace has been paved in natural stone, a pergola was built and one more terrace added on the sunny side.
The house is spacious, with light-filled rooms and modern comforts. It is for 8 people only.
Next to the house, there is a large garden with trees, a lawn, and a swimming pool with a pergola, two terraces and chaise-longues for sunbathing. It is a place of relaxation and tranquility, there's reasonably fast wifi but no TV in the house.

The recently renovated kitchen is large and open plan, situated on the raised ground floor, with a table for 8, and a couple of large sofas for an after-dinner digestif. Or enjoy a glass of eau de vie in the adjacent salon-library, with 2 further sofas, 2 armchairs and a coffee-table. From the kitchen, large doors open onto a spacious terrace. It faces the vineyards and has an outside table and chairs.
Next to the salon, on the same floor, there's a double bedroom with an adjacent bathroom (toilet and shower).
A curved staircase with cast-iron railings leads to the 1st floor, with 3 further bedroom (1 en-suite) and 2 bathrooms. One of the bathrooms was renovated in June'22.

The house stands on the edge of the village of Berlou, providing both privacy and access to the village facilities, which include a Wine Cave Cooperative with a wine shop, a gastronomic restaurant, a brasserie and tennis courts. Berlou is surrounded by vineyards and hills, you can step out of the house and go cycling or hiking in the hills, soaking in breathtaking views all around.
Wine-making is centuries-old tradition in the area, and the village of Berlou is right at the hear of it. Renowned for its excellent wines, it is one of the best producers of St Chinian Appellation Contrôlée. Staying in Berlou, you can be guaranteed an authentic Languedoc holiday!
PLEASE NOTE:
1. DUE TO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE, WE DO NOT LET THE HOUSE TO GROUPS OF FRIENDS, ONLY TO FAMILIES.

Had a wonderful time in this spacious house in the Haute Languedoc. We were pleased that the interior of the house is up to date, without compromising its authenticity. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are excellent. The pool is large. Although it is in the shade for much of the afternoon, on very hot days that is actually quite pleasant. Highly recommendable!

We spent 14 summer days in this ultra-charming, warm and generous 19th century house, lovingly restored. Its layout enabled us to stay with our family for the entire duration of our stay, while at the same time welcoming another family with children and a couple of friends. The rooms are spacious and the layout ideal for everyone to feel at ease without stepping on each other's toes. The terrace offers an extremely soothing view over the garden and, just behind it, the Berlou hill, and you soon get a taste for it at any time of day :) The green areas, including around the large swimming pool, are an ode to Mediterranean vegetation. Located on the edge of the wine-growing village of Berlou, it's total peace and quiet, day and night. Berlou is a real village and we enjoyed meeting its inhabitants. There are plenty of walks in the immediate vicinity. And if you take your bike or car, you can explore the Orb valley to the east and north, Saint Chinian and the Canal du Midi to the south, or the wonderful Haut Languedoc regional nature park. We completely fell in love with this region of southern France, which is reminiscent of Italy's Tuscany - only less crowded ;) Thank you Irina for your trust, we shall be back !

We stayed in Berlou for 10 days and it was as gorgeous as we had hoped and was pretty much as Irina has described in the property description. We had asked for some extra photos of the inside of the house and I actually don't think that they really did it justice. The house was beautifully cool with high ceilings, it felt very spacious (although there were only 5 of us), was clean and was quite simply decorated. It was also a little bit on the shabby side of chic, which we loved - a home from home - but if you are expecting high style and finesse you might be disappointed. It was a shame that Berlou didn't have any shops, but a bread van did visit every day mid morning and it was lovely to visit local markets and shops in the area. Swimming in the rivers at Roquebrun and Viellessan, walking up the Gorges d'Heric, cycling along the old railway from Mons, canoeing and the market at St Chinian were all highlights for us, and of course swimming in the pool every day. Normally we are happy to come home at the end of a holiday, but not this time!
