FR120 – La Maison du Vigneron REF: FR120

This interesting corner of Languedoc Rousillon has both vineyards and the Canal du Midi to see and discover, in a part of France that retains the charm and peace of bygone years.

Bordering the small village of Montouliers, with narrow cobbled streets and surrounded by vineyards, this luxury village house has beautiful gardens, and is a mere 3 km from Canal du Midi and only half an hour’s drive from the Mediterranean coast.

Sympathetically designed, with an eye for detail the property offers comfort in calm and delightful surroundings. Accommodation is between the well-appointed Main House and the enchanting Little House guest annexe. The bedrooms are on both ground and first floors, all decorated in the best of Provencal styles and offer air conditioning. The large comfortable sitting room has three different areas, enabling you to find the perfect spot to chat on comfortable sofas or , have a more private moment to enjoy the wonderful choice of books, or on separate lower level, a chilled area to simply watch television.

Enthusiastic cooks will enjoy the well-equipped kitchen and facilities, with a large farmhouse kitchen table for informal suppers. For more formal meals, the dining room, situated in the petite maison offers a very special ambience. French windows in both sitting room and kitchen open onto the surrounding terraces, offering excellent summer living and dining options.

Gardens overflow with scented plants, shrubs and olives, with an enticing path leading to the prepared pétanque area and onto the Owner’s vines, with views over to the forested hillside.

Testimonials

We have had a wonderful time at la Maison du Vigneron. This is perhaps the best kept, nicest home we have stayed in with you, and Simeon is easily the best chef you have recommended- pleasant to work with, accommodating and an excellent cook………..2021

Many thanks once again for helping make possible another very happy family holiday. If there is a place in ‘holiday heaven’, it must surely be a place like La Maison du Vigneron!………..2019

We had a fabulous time and would love to return. We enjoyed so many activities – running, cycling, kayaking, wine tasting. It is such a great area. This was our fourth trip with PPA, and you never disappoint………2019

Thank you again, for a blissful week at La Maison du Vigneron.  Being there is as close to holiday heaven as it is possible to imagine.  We all had a lovely time working hard at doing as little as possible,  really enjoyed doing various walks around the village………2016

Just to let you know we had a wonderful time at the house, everything worked perfectly.  Delia was very helpful and efficient and Jerome cooked us some wonderful meals.  Thank you and your team very much for making all the arrangements for us.  Hopefully you can organise something for us next year!…………….2016

We found the house in immaculate condition with everything of the highest quality and spotless. Delia was excellent and her attention to detail was exemplary, she was helpful but also discreet and went about her work in a way that it was hard to notice she was there. Jerome provided excellent meals. The gardens were a blaze of colour and again in immaculate condition. The owners detail for design in the development/redevelopment of this property was outstanding.
