Photos and Description of this Oupia holiday cottage Newly-renovated to a very high standard, the cottage sleeps 4 in comfort.

This pretty, romantic stone cottage in the lovely village of Oupia. Oupia is in the Minervois region and is associated with the production of wine. The cottage is unique in that it is a detached property which has been newly-renovated, decorated and furnished to a very high standard. You can enjoy relaxing and al fresco dining in the private, walled courtyard. The owners have thought of everything here to make your stay more enjoyable - even down to supplying hairdryers and beach towels - great if you're flying with a low-cost airline. The building dates from 1881 and has an 'old' exterior, and beamed celings, but otherwise is modern inside with all new fittings and appliances. It comprises on the ground floor a lovely kitchen/diner, shower room and twin bedroom and on the first floor a master double bedroom, a bathroom with separate shower and a sitting room which overlooks the courtyard.

Just a couple of minutes away by car, or 10-minutes by bike, is the town of Olonzac which has a wider range of shops, a supermarket, restaurants and cafe-bars. Days out would include a visit to the Mediterranean beaches, Carcassonne, Narbonne, the Canal du Midi, the Cathar Castles and even a day trip to Spain.

Locally cycling and walking are fantastic things to do - just to enjoy the lovely views. Within a half-hour drive golfers can enjoy the golf courses at Beziers and at Carcassonne.

It is thoughtfully equipped with everything. Having rented a number of properties over the years, this was definitely superior and in first class condition. We loved it, and have really enjoyed our 2 week holiday here! Stunning views everywhere, and the Canal du Midi is delightful to stroll along. We'd love to cme here again and enjoy even more winderful weather and delightful surroundings. Merci pour les vacances formidable! The family V. Suffolk. AUGUST 2008
