About this house rental

Armissan is a wine growing village 15 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea, about an hour from Montpellier, 30 minutes from the medieval city of Carcassonne and less than three hours from Barcelona, Spain. The near-by city of Narbonne is on the Canal de la Robine and has regular train service to Paris, Avignon, Barcelona and other cities throughout the region.
Your residence is an old stone barn. The ground level is a large garage/storage area with plenty of indoor parking. The upstairs living quarters offer a spacious great room with a huge fireplace and a dining area, four bedrooms (one completely recreated with a new in-suite bathroom and French doors to the large terrace and two of which are lofts, one which opens to the private upper terrace), a full bath plus a separate water closet and a new tiled shower/sink, and a laundry room with two washers/two dryers/ironing board on the mezzanine level. A completely new, modern kitchen was installed in the fall of 2015. Two terraces overlook the vineyards and foothills in the distance. (There is no phone but there is wi-fi access throughout the house as well as good cell phone coverage.)

The house is a few steps away from the town center of Armissan with its ancient church. The butcher and the baker are just out the front door. Narbonne is 15 minutes away with an historic Gothic cathedral, a Roman road, excellent shops and one of the best markets in France (open every day of the year from 7 until just after noon) featuring fresh seafood, meats, cheese and produce. There are many fine restaurants in Narbonne and within easy driving distance from Armissan.

Accommodations consist of four French (that is, small double beds), one each in the bedroom by the main bath, the new master bedroom suite off the main terrace and in the loft bedrooms one of which also has two twin beds. The house is not handicapped accessible because of stairs to the living quarters and stairs to the sleeping lofts. It's not fancy but we think it's wonderful!

We placed the house in charity auctions for about 15 years and had numerous repeat visitors. One family will return this year for the second time, another next year their fourth! You can stay busy every day visiting historical points of interest or relax in the serenity of the village. Some of the best vineyards in the Languedoc are minutes away. Life at 18 rue du Terrain des Sports is not like life in a French village. It IS life in a French village!

Très bon emplacement, proximité des plages et de Narbonne. Bon contact avec le propriétaire et Anaïs. La maison manque d'entretien au niveau des fenêtres (elles s'ouvrent toutes seules) et problème avec le store électrique donnant accès à la terrasse dont personne n'est venue dépanner donc 6 jours sans pourvoir profiter pleinement de cette terrasse sauf à passer par la chambre. Dommage également que le hangar soit squatter par beaucoup de bazar qui gâche la propriété et pas de possibilité de fermer le portail pour sécuriser les enfants. Jolie cuisine rénovée, il n'en manque pas beaucoup pour faire de cette maison un petit bijou. La literie très mauvaise également quel dommage!

Excellent holiday accommodation. Beautiful apartment with loads of space and great terrasses in a lovely village in the south of France. Easy access. Great food and local wine, and there are loads of interesting things to do in the area. Extremely helpful owner, too!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay in the quintessential southern French village of Armissan. Two hours north of Barcelona, Spain and an easy drive west to the walled city of Carcasonne, it was an ideal location for the day trips we wanted to take. It is clear that the owners want this to be a memorable experience for their guests and they take great pains to communicate about the property before your visit. There are many modern conveniences even though this is an old converted sheep barn. The butcher and the baker are just steps away, a great plus for delicious breakfast pastries and the nights we wanted to cook in. Excellent restaurants are nearby and there are plenty of opportunities for wine tasting.
