This unique dwelling in the Languedoc region was built over 100 years ago by the great-grandfather of the current owner and was used until recently as a family wine cellar. The property was carefully converted into a home by your hosts. The same family has lived in this village since the 17th century. The home is filled with interesting furniture, paintings, drawings, photos, and crafts. A terrace covered with antique tiles provides an ideal spot for outdoor meals. It overlooks the pool and gardens and has a great view of the countryside beyond. An iron lounging chair invites you to relax and take in the idyllic and restful surroundings. The warmth of the village, the charm of the countryside and the history of this family dwelling combined make it an ideal retreat as well as a base for exploring the many cultural and historical aspects of Languedoc. The plain unfolds through the adjacent vineyards and runs to Le Mont d'Oupia far in the distance. Around the house, the garden abounds with a variety of flowers, trees, bushes, and a big lawn. The pool (11m x 5m) is surrounded by a granite terrace, and a pool house. In the orchard, almond, fig, and olive trees grow. The village of Cesseras is not a tourist town, even though it is within a short distance of many points of interest. The village is located in the Minervois, a part of the Languedoc Roussillon region. This part of France is known for its wines, which are constantly improving in quality. One of the latest wine labels is called La Livignière. The area is often compared to Tuscany, in Italy, because of the similarities in the regions' agro-tourism resources. Both are known for their olive groves, olive oils, a wide range of culinary treasures, vegetables, fruits, cheeses (mostly goats' cheese), and of course their wines.
