About this property

Beautifully restored house in medieval fort with terrace and fabulous views

2 bedroom stone house in the tranquil winemaking village of Pouzols Minervois which has been tastefully renovated by the owners to a high standard, with all mod-cons, while retaining the original character. South facing terrace, with barbecue, has stunning views of the Pyrenees. There are two sunny bedrooms, both with ensuite shower rooms. The loft bedroom has wonderful views and a large bathroom with luxurious walk -in shower. One of the bedrooms can be either 2 singles or a double bed. The house is right in the centre of this charming, quiet village with vineyard views but Carcassonne, Narbonne and beaches are less than an hour's drive.

Fibre-optique internet and tranquil surroundings make it an ideal property for those wanting to combine work and play.

The kitchen is light and airy and comes fully equipped. Essentials such as oil, vinegar, flour, condiments, spices, washing up liquid and dishwasher tabs are provided. Welcome pack of wine and local produce.

Pouzols Minervois is 5 minutes from the Canal du Midi and 40 mins drive to Carcassonne and Mediterranean beaches. Local activities include hiking, wine tasting (owners are winemakers and would be delighted to arrange a private tasting for you), cycling, visiting beautiful Cathar villages such as Minerve, olive oil mill. Outdoor swimming pool in next village is open July/August but also river swimming in Bize Minervois and Minerve. Owners can provide tips on where to go and good restaurants etc

About the host

Hosted by Juliet and Simon Ingman

Host profile image
Juliet and Simon are originally from the UK and moved to the beautiful Languedoc region in 2004. Juliet is a Master of Wine and wine educator and loves communicating her passion for the region and its wines. Simon renovates historic houses and also his small collection of classic cars and motor bikes. Together they make wine at their family vineyard Domaine La Tasque in the neighbouring village of Mailhac.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the Languedoc since 2004 and love the relaxed way of life here and the beautiful scenery. We finally settled in the village of Mailhac but have always liked Pouzols and know it well as our daughter went to school here. So when we heard that a house was available for sale in the oldest part of the village, we had to have a look. We have renovated several properties over the years, some of which have been in a sorry state of repair and required lots of imagination! This house just felt right, the minute we walked through the door. Although it needed updating, (there was no bathroom) it was easy to see how it could be restored to its former glory. Restoring it has been a pleasure and we love it when our guests appreciate it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

The views from the house are very special, particularly on a clear day when you can see the Pyrenees. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine, watching the sun go down over the mountains is a joy.

This house has oodles of character. The walls are 2 feet thick and there are stone walls or stone detailing in the kitchen, first floor bedroom and the sitting room which. It is charming and a bit higgledy piggelty. Nothing is quite straight. If you like straight lines and a sleek, modern look then this house is probably not for you. However we have restored it with our guests comfort in mind so it has all mod cons.
