DETAILS OF ACCOMMODATION
"La Digue" is a distinctive 19th century house located in the lively, wine making village of St Chinian. The property has a shaded garden which overlooks the Vernazobre River. There are unobstructed views of the surrounding vineyards and the foothills of the Haut Languedoc National Park.
The house itself is spacious, light and airy and is situated in a quiet, narrow street shaded by plane trees. From this ideal location our guests can enjoy walking in the nearby vineyards, or swimming in the clear, cool river where there is a natural pool within minutes of the front door. In the nearby village square there is a busy, colourful market on Sunday and Thursday morning, as well as a variety of local shops and wineries from which to purchase the acclaimed St. Chinian and Faugeres wines.
The main salon is situated on the first floor and provides easy access to a fully equipped kitchen (with gas cooker, electric oven, dishwasher, electric coffee maker and kettle), as well as to the dining areas inside the house and outside on the upper terrace. The salon is comfortably furnished with sofas and easy chairs, and the main focus of the room is the traditional Languedocien fireplace. The dining table and anique French "armoire" complete the room. A telephone is available in this room, and there is also a CD/radio/cassette player.

The study remains cool throughout the day and has a TV with satellite reception, and a DVD player, making it an ideal entertainment room.
