Perfect Base for Family Holidays in South France

Anyone who has visited the beautiful sun-drenched region of the Languedoc will know that there are a huge array of cultural, culinary and historic highlights within a stone’s throw of one another. It is perfectly possible to do something different every single day: wine tasting one day at Domaine Gayda to rafting at Gorges du Saint George the next. That’s not to mention the medieval UNESCO Cité de Carcassonne, the Mediterranean beaches and even a cross border day trip to the Catalan region of Spain. What they may not know is that nestled amongst the vineyards of ‘Malpere’ they will find the perfect family base.

Le Sarrail is a hamlet of 4 luxury houses sharing their own heated pool, with panoramic views of unspoilt countryside and a backdrop of the Pyrénées. Enjoy the privacy and pleasures of renting a self-contained house while at the same time having hotel style services at hand – anything can be arranged; delicious French catering, aromatherapy massage, reflexology, bike hire & tours, flying over the Cathar castles, the list goes on and on. This stylish hideaway is perfect for all ages, offering a safe, stimulating environment. Children and parents can keep busy with the large heated swimming pool, log cabins, 14 foot trampoline, vaulted games room with a plethora of games, swings and slides. Otherwise, for a slower pace the open barn offers the perfect shady chillout area, as well as a snooze in the hammocks or a game of boules as the sun sets.

If you explore the Le Sarrail website you will find pages and pages dedicated to the various activities and sights that have inspired so many holidaymakers to this region.

The property itself has all the luxuries one expects from contemporary boutique accommodation, providing you with everything you could need or desire. Alfresco dining on the terraces, gas BBQ, top of the range kitchens and about every conceivable gadget as well as Wi-Fi, iPod docks, toys, books, games and more.
