Villa Des Remparts stands on a portion of former medieval ramparts that once was a rather large castle built to protect the inhabitants of this peaceful southern French, Languedoc village from any attacks by the neighbouring knights in quest of more territory, bloodshed or looting.
Your hosts, Geri and Roberto, have travelled extensively around Europe & the world. You can see and feel the strong influence of their travels in the decor that they borrowed mainly from Greece, Morocco and Colombia.
When enjoying an aperitif on the terrace at the end of the day and catching the last rays of the sun you can easily imagine being in Marrakech or Mikonos.
While living in Brussels, Geri & Roberto attended a cooking school. They both are chefs and can prepare some outstanding and excellent meals for the asking. For breakfast insist on sampling their own baked bread.
During the 1800's, Villa Des Remparts was filled with busy people working in vineyards producing Minervois wines. Eventually it was abandoned and stood empty for over three decades. About two years ago your hosts Geri & Roberto came through the region looking to buy a property to eventually open a Gite. They felt in love with what was a total and disastrous ruin.
But, as you can see from the photographs, they have invested an enormous amount of work and love to make it what it is today.
Some of the furniture, paintings (artistic & around the home), artefacts, accessories, etc. where done or transformed by your hosts!
They're both eager to welcome you as their guests to enjoy the comfort and decor of Villa Des Remparts with over 300 square meters of space plus the terrace & patio, one can get almost lost within the house.
Their 3 full bedrooms & bathrooms do accommodate 6 guests comfortably, their included breakfast proposes some local jams & honey, butter, home cooked bread, tea, coffee, juices, etc.
Your hosts rent the whole Villa Des Remparts all inclusive, except for long distance phone calls, on a weekly basis to a group or family of up to 6 guests for £875.
