VENTENAC A

If you like the comforts of home, you'll love these smart self catering GITES. Built over OLD WINE VATS, on the edge of the village with open views over the vines and fields, impressive walks from the doorstep but just 150 m from the village shop.

Get that remote feeling when you're only 10 mins from CARCASSONNE. These first floor gites are FULLY EQUIPPED, LIGHT AND SUNNY and have been LOVINGLY DECORATED with antique furniture and tasteful fittings that co-ordinate so well with the typical Mediterranean terra cotta tiles and white walls.

The garden has BARBEQUES, SUN LOUNGERS, tables and chairs. For those who prefer to sit in the shade, the FIG TREES offer the ideal solution.

The 10 x 5m POOL with walk in steps is separated with a gate for safety purposes is kept spotlessly clean, and exceeds all French health and safety standards.

WALKERS' AND CYCLISTS' PARADISE! All info on walks and cycle routes provided. Bike hire nearby.

We PROVIDE INFORMATION on the many places to visit (including children orientated), restaurants, vineyards, ski resorts etc off the tourist track, but only if needed - we are always on hand and like to be helpful but not intrusive!

Three star rated - Completely refurbished.

Ventenac-Cabardes is a wine making village in wild, unpackaged countryside but unbelievably just 5 miles out of Carcassonne.

With it's chateau, narrow shady streets and medieval church, it has remained UNCHANGED through the centuries.

But it does have it's tennis court, village shop cum baker cum tobaconnist and of course it's VINEYARDS.
