Detailed description: On the heights of a typical village of the Mediterranean Aude, in the middle of vineyards, olive groves, scrubland and pine forests, Opuntia rentals are two independent village houses, built in traditional stone, located in Escales, between Corbières and Minervois, between the city of Carcassonne and Narbonne, between mountains and sea.
Pech means hill: the rue du Pech leads to the heights of the village of Escales. From one of the terraces of this house, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Minervois plain and the Montagne Noire. The stone envelope of the building conceals a resolutely contemporary interior.
The Opuntia Pech house is more precisely an old wine cellar that has been transformed into a modern, carefully furnished and air-conditioned accommodation. On the ground floor, you arrive through a small outdoor area planted with palm trees, then through a bright entrance with a small office, two bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilets. Upstairs, you will find a modern and very bright kitchen-living room: the living room opens through a bay window onto a covered terrace on the Corbières side (with vis-à-vis on the other rental, Opuntia Téoulièro, view of the rooftops of the village and the neighbouring pine forests); the kitchen opens onto a terrace without vis-à-vis, offering a panoramic view of the Minervois plain and the Montagne Noire. The accommodation can accommodate a maximum of four people (one of the bedrooms offers a double bed and the other a single bed and a sofa bed). We offer our tenants air-conditioned rooms, an equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, and a contemporary and quality decoration (Starck armchairs, Artemide wall lamps, coloured glass closet doors, stained glass...).
Our strengths: - Sunshine! the house is located in the Mediterranean part of the Aude - Ideal location for radiating: you can go to the sea (less than 40 minutes from the beaches of Gruissan or La Franqui), but also recharge your batteries by visiting the hinterland (cities of Minerva, Carcassonne, Cathar castles, etc.) - Calm assured in the heart of an authentic Mediterranean village - Three exteriors: mini-garden, two terraces - Air conditioning in each bedroom and in the living room-kitchen - Fibre Internet - Quality bedding - Newly renovated and clean bright stone house, offering the desired comfort - Ideal for hiking and cycling; loan of guides - Lake 10 minutes away for swimming and water activities in season, Canal du Midi 5 minutes away - Payment possible by holiday vouchers - Pets allowed, on prior request

Helle und saubere Unterkunft mit sehr viel Platz und Stauraum, zwei schöne große Terrassen machen das Wohnen noch angenehmer. Der Ort Escales ist wunderbar für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen geeignet. Carcasson ist schnell erreicht, Narbon und Strand ebenso. Alle Zimmer sind mit Klimaanlagen ausgestattet.Einziger Nachteil: die Treppe ist für ältere Menschen (und Tiere - unser Hund ist vierzehn zum Zeitpunkt der Reise) sehr beschwerlich - und war auf Fotos nicht sichtbar.
Magnifique sejour, dans un endroit calme et reposant. La maison est superbement decorée, tres complète, rien ne manque.
Excellent échange avec les propriétaires.
Nombreuses activites aux alentours , conseillees par les propriétaires dans le livre de la maison.
Sehr liebevoll und modern eingerichtetes Haus mit zwei herrlichen Terassen zum Wohlfühlen. Ein Ort fern ab von Streß und Hektik. Gleichzeitig ein guter Ausgangspunkt zum Erkunden der Region inmitten riesiger Weinfelder.
Nice,clean property.Access is not easy due to very narrow village roads.Safe parking nearby.Split level,with very steep stairs can be difficult with children or the elderly.Nice balcony with lovely view.
Tout s'est très bien passé, de l'accueil à la restitution.La maison est coquette, avec son extérieur en pierre typique et un intérieur moderne . Vraiment sympa. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Une jolie région à visiter.
Très bon séjour. Proprietaires sympas
Seul petit bémol : le couchage du fauteuil - lit très peu confortable
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Mar 2022
Merci pour votre commentaire. Je suis cependant très surpris par ce que vous dites du fauteuil : il a été acheté dans un magasin spécialisé pour une valeur de plus de 750 euros. C'est un produit de grande qualité relativement à ce qui est ordinairement proposé dans les locations.
Superbe propriété très bien équipée où tout a été bien pensé.l’emplacement de celle ci est idéalement situé pour la visite des alentours. Séjour effectué en novembre,temps clément.
Propriétaires discrets et sympathiques.
