We relocated to the peace and tranquility of the Languedoc in 2018, after spending 15 years living and working in the Middle East.

The property is situated in the heart of Cathar country and is just half an hour's drive from the World Heritage listed citadel at Carcassonne. For those with an interest in medieval history, there are many ruined castles from the time of the Cathars. We are located in the middle of the AOC Malpere wine region with many small producers close at hand offering the opportunity to taste and buy the local wines. Around the nearby town of Limoux you will find the famous Blanquette de Limoux, a sparkling wine produced using the methode champenoise.
