The original barn now houses a heated indoor pool and has a wonderful roof terrace with beautiful views towards the village church and beyond. This luxury villa has a delightful Mediterranean courtyard garden (no lawn) offering privacy and seclusion yet is just 2 minutes walk from the lively village centre, with a great weekly market, shops, bars, restaurants and numerous festivals and events held both in summer and winter. The village park has 3 tennis courts. Set against the backdrop of the Montagne Noir, this is a region of Cathar castles, abbeys, wild gorges and medieval villages. The walled city of Carcasonne has fantastic festivals celebrating its history throughout the summer.
