The villa is located in the heart of the vineyards, with views of the rolling tranquilly plains of the River Aude that stretch north to the Mountains Noire and south to the Pyrenees. This is an area steeped in history and blessed with an almost perfect climate. The area enjoys over 300 days of sunshine annually, the location benefits from long hot summers and brief but mild winters.
The old villages of Cuxac d'Aude, Coursan and Capestrang (2km, 4 km and 9km) are the typically arch rival southern French affairs, with cafés, supermarkets, banks and pharmacies, and of course the local cave cooperatives. Vineyards, ancient monasteries and medieval castles punctuate the landscape whilst the golden beaches of the Mediterranean are just a 15-minute drive away. To the west is Cathar country – one of the most inspiring and dramatic landscapes in Europe. The historic city of Carcassonne (40 minutes) and the beautiful Canal du Midi (10mins) and Canal du Robin (5 mins) are all a shord drive away
