Villa Trencavel - Light, bright modern villa with private pool
Villa with 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, Garden, Swimming Pool
On the edge of a wine-producing village on a hillside above the town of Olonzac, Villa Trencavel is a modern detached 4-bedroom property with a garden and a private swimming pool...the room layout makes it ideal for a large family, or two families holidaying together...
This villa sleeps 8 in comfort and has the possibility to sleep a further 2 occasionally. It is located on the edge of the medieval village of Cesseras in the heart of the Minervois wine-producing region.
Cesseras is situated at the foot of the Montagne Noir - a lovely, rather peaceful location amongst the vineyards and yet it is only 5 minutes drive from Olonzac, a small town which offers a good selection of shops, cafe-bars, restaurants, a supermarket and a weekly market.
The swimming pool area has especially lovely views which extend over the plain of the River Aude to the Pyrenees in the far distance.
Villa Trencavel is a family-owned holiday home which has a large open-plan living space, two double and two twin-bedrooms (one of which is ideal for older children) a bathroom with a bath, and a shower room. The bedrooms are on different sides of the property and therefore the villa lends itself to two families holidaying together.
The property is located on the edge of the village in a small development in an elevated position, but within walking distance of the centre. It has views over the surrounding countryside.
The spacious living room is open-plan to both the dining area and kitchen making it a very agreeable living space. The living area has 2 comfortable sofas, a coffee table and a log-burning fire for the cooler months. The dining area has a large dining table with 8 chairs.
Adjacent to the sitting area is a separate TV room with a TV receiving international satellite channels. There is a DVD player, a CD player and a wired internet connection here for your own laptop.
The kitchen is newly fitted and well-equipped for cooking with a fridge/freezer, an extra fridge, hob, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, kettle, coffee machine and toaster.
Adjacent to the swimming pool area is a pool room. This has an area for drying clothes and swimwear - it also has a fridge for cold drinks and a washbasin.
Bedroom 1 is the master bedroom overlooking the front of the property with a king size double bed, side tables with lamps, and plenty of storage and hanging. Bedroom 2 is a twin-bedded room. Bedroom 3 is a lovely double room with a high ceiling and beams, and a king size bed. Bedroom 4 is a split level twin room ideal for older children.
Bathrooms: Bathroom 1 has a bath with shower over, a WC and a washbasin. Bathroom 2: has a shower, a WC and a washbasin.
You may have friends visiting the area who may wish to stay a night or two - this is possible in a further room, next to the pool room, which has a double sofa bed.
