Cantalauze L'Ancien Pigeonnier

Part of a small hamlet with several charming old buildings, the winery and two gîtes with colourful shutters – a calm ambience prevails through the front door of the Pigeonnier. Find a bright and open space with white walls, light stone or tiled floors, large soft-coloured sofas and armchairs, books and games, a good sound system.

Up the original stone staircase to roomy bedrooms – a double and a twin on the first floor, a dormitory with four singles on the second and a double in the tower on a mezzanine. All have grand views over the courtyard, garden and vines, with armchairs on the landings for a quiet read.

On sunny days you’ll be out in the large garden, lazing in the pool (there’s a smaller one for children too), chasing the sun or shade. In the evenings you can cook in the superb kitchen, or light the barbecue, play ping-pong or pétanque, eat on the covered patio at a big wooden table and feel lucky to be on holiday here.
