Vacation Rental Description
The vacation rental in Languedoc Roussillon - Mode d'Artiste comprises 3 spacious well-equipped vacation apartments for rent in Couiza, Languedoc Roussillon. Each vacation rental has its own computer, free broadband internet access and is hung with original paintings (landscapes, portraits and abstracts) by 3 talented local artists - Allison Carmichael, Cath Mascres and Vanilla Beer.
Each apartment is fully self-contained and attractively furnished with a well-equipped kitchen (including oven, washing machine, microwave, toaster, etc.) and a bathroom with shower attachment and separate WC.
The French vacation rentals are in the centre of Couiza, a short walk from shops (including a huit-a-8 supermarket), 2 excellent restaurants - one at the Chateau des Ducs de Joyeuse, the other being the Carnotzet. Couiza also has 2 patisseries and we highly recommend the patisserie next to the Huit-a-8, which has a great range of French bread, pizzas, pies, cakes and other delights.
There's a river swimming spot 2 minutes drive or 10 minutes walk away, as well as plenty of lakes and other rivers in the area.
The 3 vacation rentals are as follows:
Ground floor - Bedroom with king-size bed, double sofa bed in the lounge (sleeps 4) - has a door opening onto the terrace, though the terrace is shared by all 3 floors.
1st floor - Twin bedroom, double room and sofa bed in the lounge (sleeps 6) - has a large dining table that expands to seat 10, ideal if you wish to book 2 vacation apartments together and eat comfortably as a large group.
2nd floor - Bedroom with 4-poster bed, double sofa bed in the lounge (sleeps 4) - has an enormous open plan lounge / dining area and wood burning stove.
Each apartment has its own bathroom, separate WC, kitchen, entrance, lounge and dining area and is hung with original works of art giving Mode d'Artiste its name.
