Home Description

The Arch Apartment - a luxury 1st floor self-catering gite with air conditioning and en-suite shower rooms.

Situated within the walls of the village, our house offers visitors a relaxed, peaceful & historic holiday experience. We (Guy and Claire) provide a warm welcome and are on hand to provide advice or suggestions on where to visit. Our trip advisor reviews are excellent so why not search 'Holidays in Lagrasse' to view the comments from our past clients who describe the activities and the high standard of service that we provide.

During loving renovation, the house unveiled many historic secrets associated with the Cathars. With 15 authentic stone arches scattered throughout the property and various 13th century paintings. The latter are currently under restoration with the first paintings unveiled in the village Maison de Patrimone (September 2014) revealing 20 chevaliers including one that depicts Simon de Montfort who was hated in the Languedoc for his cruelty and ambition towards the Cathars, you are sure to feel that you have taken a step back in time! However, with all mod cons and a comfortable feel to the living accommodation in the Arch Apartment, it is history at its best. With arguably the most spectacular facade in the village, Neuf Rue des Cancans really is a gem nestled within the cobbled streets of a village voted 'One of Frances Prettiest.'

The Arch so called for its many splendid medieval arches is on the first floor of our 13th century house and has two bedrooms. The Master bedroom (king size), so called after the beautiful 3 meter high double Venetian arched window at the foot of the bed, is a light and airy room with a handmade vanity unit and large Italian shower. The garden bedroom, so called for its lovely views over the walled garden from the Juliet balcony, is a large fresh room with twin beds (can be made into a double) and has a unique modern en-suite shower room situated through yet another stone arch. There is a separate WC.

The majestic Venetian window central to the lounge/diner allows the sunlight to flood the room and the window seat beneath adds character but also invites languid afternoons of reading. The fully equipped bespoke reclaimed French oak fitted kitchen adds to the charm of this apartment.

The apartment also includes access to the communal garden. The garden contains 3 BBQ areas, 5 terraces, a grassy lawn, pétanque area and to top it all off a solar heated swimming pool with decked area. All of this is nestled within the original medieval stonewalls of our courtyard. Apartment fully air-conditioned.

The Arch Apartment has all you need for modern living twinned with the medieval and historic features, including original oak beams and doors, beautiful wine vat frames and handmade floor tiles. All lovingly restored in this light and airy apartment. The Arch is sure to enhance your stay in our little piece of paradise.
