• May 07 - The name of this holiday gite is inspired; it is set in a quiet road on the edge of the village with stunning uninterrupted views across the vines to the hills beyond. It is light and airy, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated with all your comforts well catered for, including satellite TV, broadband and luxury bathroom. There are easy-to-use files on all the local area has to offer, although you may prefer to just relax right here; in front of the south-facing living area and bedroom, both with French doors, is the very spacious terrace with shade and sun to suit, date palm and pretty vine-clad pergola, with the large pool a few steps away. Wake up to the amazing view and you should be delighted with this most appealing place in the vines.
