Details for les Tournesols 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 4, 1 Bathroom

With original beams and part stone walls, this large (approx. 60 sq m) open-plan single floor apartment suite provides light, airy, comfortable accommodation for two, as well as a large sofa-bed in the living room, perhaps for children. A half-height wall with natural hard wood counter separates the bedroom from the living room, leaving both spaces exceptionally light and airy. Both spaces overlook the village square and the impressive hills beyond. The sunny living room has a large L-shaped sofa that converts to a double bed. This can also be used as a single bed – or for watching TV with your feet-up! English and French TV, books, games, radio/CD and DVD player provide a relaxed 'home from home' environment, plus free broadband internet WiFi access. The modern, fully-equipped open-plan kitchen provides everything you will need should you wish to cook and eat indoors. The fully-tiled separate bathroom provides a shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC.

THINGS TO DO LOCALLY: The area surrounding Saint-Chinian, and the nearby Haute Languedoc National Park, is a great place for walking and bike rides. Walkers and hikers will find free English language guides in the Tourist Office. If the heat gets the better of you and you need to cool down, there are a number of options. The town has its own public swimming pool (open from June 1st), while the long, free Mediterranean beaches are only 40 minutes away by car. Alternatively, you can bathe in the clear waters of the River Orb at Roquenbrun or the river Cesse at Bize-Minervois. The area also offers the chance to try your hand at rock-climbing, fishing, painting, golf, horse-riding, canoing ad kayaking.

Superb apartments in a great location

ZCY Surrey, England
Review Submitted: July 2, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We spent 5 days staying at these apartments and would highly recommend them. We stayed in the one bed apartment but did get to have a look at the other one. The property has been refurbished to an extremely high standard with all you could want and more! The apartments were clean, light and airy with gorgeous furnishings, a wonderfully comfortable bed and more than enough white fluffy towels.

The location of the apartments is ideal and surprisingly quiet. You are in the village square that has a great market twice a week, there are cafes, restaurants and shops all within a short walk.

We had a car and there are lots of things to do in the surrounding area from beautiful walks, to adventure spots, historical buildings, towns and the beach. A great many tourist information leaflets and books were supplied in the apartments.

Without a doubt we shall be returning to the apartments with friends and family for another holiday.
Owner's Response: Zoe,
Many thanks for your kind comments. Luckily the village itself is a great base for a wonderful French holiday, and we have done everything we can to make our guests' stay a 5 Star experience. We look forward to soon greeting you again.

St Chinnian gem

Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at this apartment for 2 weeks and it was an absolute pleasure. The owners have created a fabulous apartment and furnished it with high end appliances and furniture. The stay was made even more enjoyable as everthing was provided for us down to washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. We have travelled the world using self catering apartments for 25 years and have never found anywehre that provided so much. The location is perefect for exploring St Chinnian, it's bars and restuarants by foot and the local area. the towns of Narbonne and Montpellier are well worth visiting and we also explored the villages around Fitou, Touchan for the stunnijg scenery. Carcassone is a must but it is a tourist trap and be prepared for it. We used the river at Rocqebrun to swim and Kayak and it was glorius as well as eating at the Restuarant there which was lovely sitting overlooking the l'ord.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much - we want guests to love the area and for our holiday accommodation to exceed their expectations. We believe you deserve a memorable holiday, and that we should provide good value and all the comforts and conveniences of home. We hope to welcome you back before too long ...
