Vacation Rental Description
In the heart of Languedoc, France's largest wine producing area you will find the pretty medieval village of Caussiniojouls which is situated on the edge of the Haut- Languedoc Regional Park, surrounded by vineyards and with beautiful views over the plains down to the Mediterranean coast. It is also 1 of the 7 villages that make up the Faugères Appellation area so there is no shortage of wine tasting here!!
The village,which is in the Herault department, is within easy reach of lakes, rivers and the long sandy beaches that stretch towards Spain in one direction and towards the resorts of Agde and Sete in the other.
Within our renovated 'Maison Vigneronne' we have a self-contained three bedroom apartment which sleeps 6 people. The accommodation retains many of its original features such as exposed beams and French shuttered windows.
Steps lead you up, via your own private terrace, to the front door which opens into a large hallway. To the right is the dining room with dining table and seating for 6, leading through to a fully equipped kitchen, which includes oven, fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Immediately to the left, as you enter, is the living room with leather sofas, TV and DVD player. Patio doors give additional access to the terrace - an ideal spot to enjoy an evening tipple or two as the sun sets for the day!
Further along the hallway there are 2 X twin bedrooms, one of which can become a double bedded room, 1 X double bedroom and 2 X shower rooms with shower enclosures, toilets and washbasins.
Bed linen and towels are provided, but not beach towels.
Due to the access to the apartment it is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions.
The village has a tennis court and pétanque area and there is a swimming pool at the local campsite which is about 3 kms away. Also there is a karting centre just outside the village with 1100m of track!
There are no local shops in the village, but bread is delivered daily except Mondays, meat and veg on Wednesdays and shell fish on Fridays. You will find local shops at both Faugères and Laurens and a large hyper supermarket near Hérépian which stocks everything you need.
