This is a charming villa on the edge of a typical Mediterranean wine producing village en route to the land of Cathar Castles.
A young wine grower and his charming wife have built an ensemble of four villas, each with its own pool, on the edge of a Corbiere village. (see Ref: A1b, c and d).
While there is shared parking, each villa has complete privacy and is not overlooked by its neighbours.
This villa is built on one level - it is spacious, well equipped and comfortably furnished. Glass doors lead out onto a pool side terrace and to a marvelous Santa Fe style covered terrace/summer kitchen with huge wooden beams that Mr. Riviere salvaged from an old barn. He is also an artist so all the colours used on the inside and outside capture the warmth of the Mediterranean sun - mustard ochres, honey yellows and earthy terracottas contrast beautifully with the blue of the water.
Clients' comments:
Just wanted to let you know that we had a really lovely week last week at Les Cigalous! Thanks. Jane, September 2007
Just wanted to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Monseret. The premises are as described and very generous in space, especially outdoors, with the wonderful barbecue and seating area, lounge chairs and above all, the pool. Our grandchildren seemed to spend all their waking hours soaking wet and grinning! My husband couldn't stop talking about the privacy and quiet, the sense of being entirely within your own private compound with high wall and clever plantings. It is a unique property and arrangement, and we would be enthusiastic about going back another time. The owners offer exceptional hospitality and were warm and available and very helpful throughout. Altogether, a great success! Thanks for your extensive help and correspondence on the way to rental.
