Full of character and with a gorgeous garden with swimming pool, Maison Brassens offers a beautifully renovated village home in the heart of the Languedoc.
Beyond its classic façade lies a charming abode where old French doors and gorgeous tiled floors meet contemporary touches, and every corner feels thoughtfully designed for relaxed holiday living. In the courtyard, Mediterranean plants and mature trees frame a private pool, while the shaded terrace and a outdoor lounge invite leisurely afternoons and al-fresco dinners.
Inside, the home spans two floors and blends warmth with modern convenience. The ground level features a well-equipped kitchen with a central island, perfect for preparing seasonal produce from the local market. A welcoming living area with Smart TV and Wi-Fi ensures comfort and connectivity, while air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs promise restful nights after long summer days. Two bedrooms benefit from sleek en-suite bathrooms, and all are traditional yet stylish, ideal for families or friends sharing.
Alongside the swimming pool and its decked terrace, other features outside include a solar-powered poolside shower, table tennis for family games and a summer kitchen with plancha.
Set in the pretty village of Saint-Marcel-sur-Aude, the house enjoys a truly local lifestyle. Wander to the bakery each morning, easily pick up groceries or enjoy a relaxed evening at the excellent village restaurant. The peaceful Canal du Midi and the picturesque hamlet of Le Somail are just minutes away, offering canal-side dining and superb walking and cycling opportunities (make the most of the house’s bikes!).
The golden sands of Narbonne Plage and the wild beaches of Gruissan are around half an hour away by car, while Carcassonne’s storybook citadel, Narbonne’s rich heritage and wine-tasting trails through the Minervois complete the experience.
Whether you’re swimming, sipping or simply unwinding, Maison Brassens captures the rhythm of southern French living in one very inviting village setting.
- Air-conditioning is featured in the bedrooms only.
- Even though village amenities are a short walk away, a car is needed to be able to fully explore the region (gated car parking is available).
- Bikes are also available at the house, a great way to experience the Canal du Midi.
