Description from owner
Description
A truly unique, light & airy riverside dwelling set within the walls of this lovingly renovated medieval house.
The cool colours of the ancient stone walls combine with the thoughtful renovation with its high ceilings and quiet atmosphere to create a very calm and relaxing space for your holiday.
The house has direct access onto the riverside garden and is just a few steps from the covered market square at the heart of the village.
"IMPORTANT NOTE"
A TAXE DE SEJOUR is now unfortunately obligatory. This is a charge applied by the French Government and is applicable only to those over the age of 18. It is a charge/night at 5% of the total cost/person. Once your reservation is confirmed and a complete payment has been made, I will send you a booking form that you would need to complete. This form will have details regarding the Taxe de Séjour which will need to be paid prior to your arrival.
There are 2 terraces. One of about 90m2 which overlooks the river and the hills opposite. Part of it is covered to provide shade. It is equipped with a BBQ, a sink, sun loungers, a sofa and a large dining table. Access to the river is possible from the courtyard. The other opens directly onto the kitchen with a view of the shaded courtyard below.
The apartment is situated on the first floor with the exceptionally large terrace above - hence the name of the apartment. Sunset views and alfresco cooking facilities overlooking the river, the 12th century hump-back bridge & hills opposite.
Access is via the cobbled shady courtyard and up the spiral staircase. If you have any concerns about accessibility due to the mobility of any member in your party, please contact me first and I'll talk you through.
The accommodation is for 6/7 but please ask if you are a party of 7 first.
There are 3 bedrooms. Each has its own bath or shower room and good, comfortable mattresses with top quality linens.
There are 2 double bedrooms. One has the option of being either 2 twins or a large double depending on your preference.
These 2 rooms are on the riverside so you can fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the water trickling by. The 3rd bedroom is a twin & looks onto the courtyard.
You can be part of nearby activities or enjoy quiet relaxing time on the largest terrace in the village!
Lagrasse is genuinely lovely & unspoilt.
There are several excellent restaurants, a couple of bars, a baker, Pharmacy, Post Office, 2 doctors, a newsagent & numerous local artisan shops & galleries.
Swim in the river, go for a leisurely walk in the hills nearby, a bike ride, sample oysters freshly plucked from the sea, or simply relax on the terrace & watch the sun go down.
Linen, towels, hair dryer & iron are included.
Check-in from 4pm. Check-out 10am
Smoking not allowed
Off-site parking facilities only 3 minutes from the house.
***********************
YOUNG CHILDREN ARE WELCOME BUT THIS MUST BE AGREED WITH THE OWNER FIRST. THE SAME APPLIES TO YOUR PETS.
YOU WILL NEED TO COMPLETE A BOOKING FORM PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL & TO HAVE LEFT A 10€ CONTRIBUTION TO GAS FOR USE OF THE BBQ.
Further details
Airport transfers can be arranged as well as a full or partial itinerary for your holiday. Nicole can assist you if required - might even cook you dinner if you are lucky!
Further details indoors
Recently refurbished to a very high standard, this apartment overlooks the river Orbieu. Step through the cobbled courtyard and find yourself in the heart of Lagrasse, seconds away from all the amenities and restaurants. The accommodation has a degree of flexibility with double beds or more singles available on request. All the interior accessories are antique or have been custom made for the apartment. Perhaps the most exciting feature of this apartment is the top terrace - see below for further details. The smaller kitchen terrace is also a lovely place to breakfast or dine. The kitchen is well equipped with gas hob, oven, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, microwave and all accessories required to turn out your holiday meals.
All the bedrooms have modern en suite well finished bath or shower rooms, with the largest having a cast iron roll-top bath. The gite has unlimited hot water. We provide all bed linens in fine white Egyptian cotton.
Further details outdoors
The riverside top terrace is 90 square meters. It is half covered to provide shade for those wishing to keep out of the sun. It has a characterful old stone sink, a BBQ/Plancha and a cold shower for those of you who might wish for a speedy cooling off on those hot summer days!
There are loungers and a dining table seating eight. The terrace offers lovely views to the hills opposite and frequently the spectacular sunset (the sun sets opposite). The kitchen terrace looks onto the internal courtyard and offers an atmospheric location for a morning coffee or evening meal. There is ample parking in the village car parks only a 3 minute walk away.

Response from the owner Dear AnnaMadeInTexas Thank you so so much for this lovely review of yours. You can barely have had time to get back home before you wrote it. I'm really happy that you had a good time here and have to say that you and your family were lovely guests to have here. I was particularly pleased to learn of David's aesthetic appreciations as it felt a little like I'd met my design brother as so much of what we like crossed over! You will always be welcome back, I do hope this might happen one day. Best to you, Nicole

Response from the owner Dearest Lesley It has taken me far too long to respond to your totally lovely review, but I felt that you truly needed a thoughtful and properly appropriate response. I am genuinely so touched by your comments. It's wonderful that you want to keep returning. Firstly of course for me to know that I have created something here in which you feel comfortable and relaxed and secondly that it now feels as if I am welcoming friends each time you come. That's a great feeling. I look forward this summer for us to share a few more stories over a glass or two while sitting in the sun watching the river trickle by. You are coming back, how brilliant!

Response from the owner Dear Tania Thanks so very much for your thoughts about your holiday in The Terrace Apartment here in Lagrasse. I'm really happy that you had a good time and that you experienced that sense of calm. It was very much something that I had wanted to create for my guests.

Response from the owner Dear BWE Oh my ….. thank you so very much for this delightful review, not just for me to read, but also it's helpful for future guests. I have to say that you too were always easy to correspond with, I’m just disappointed that things turned out for me that I wasn’t able to be in Lagrasse at the time of your stay. With a bit of luck though you’ll come back and we’ll have that opportunity. I’ll have to find a way to get you further bonus points with your friends. Many thanks again, Nicole
