| Full description: |
Mas de Puech, constructed in 1804 and built on arched cellars, consists of several buildings situated around a central courtyard, the property was designed as a self contained estate with its own vineyard. All the buildings are south facing, and surrounded by Mediterranean trees, aromatic plants and vines.
The Farmhouse consists of two separate buildings joined together by a central courtyard. The seven individually designed self catering apartments are on two separate levels and will cater for all of the requirements you may have.
Each apartment has its own private terrace and the stable with it's original vaulted ceiling has been converted into a room that can be used for meetings, wine tastings or just a quiet place to read. The newly completed swimming pool with its own terrace, also has a changing room, toilet and shower.
The Mas (old French farmhouse) is situated within its own vineyard and at present has 18 hectares (45 acres) of vines under cultivation, together with another 20 hectares (50 acres) of Garrigue (native Mediterranean vegetation). At the present time we are in the middle of extensive vine replanting programme.
The grape varieties grown include: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Grenache. |
| Facilities: |
The Mas is situated in the middle of its own vines and it is possible to walk for miles through the vines and garrigue, with only the natural beauty and flora and fauna of the area for company.
If you are feeling more energetic and want to explore further there are bicycles (with all safety gear) suitable for all ages available for exclusive use by our guests.
Alternatively if you are feeling less energetic you can laze by the pool and read a book from the library.
The beautiful stable (ecurie) with its floor lighting is used as a library with a good selection of paperback books. This room, with its solid oak bar is also used for wine tasting (we can taste local wines as well as wine from other areas that we source for our wine company) and informal gathering of the guests during the week.
Around the pool there is table tennis
