Beautiful Maury Holiday Home in Languedoc, South of France - Maison Voltaire

Maison Voltaire is a fully restored 19th century granary in the hillside village of Maury, located in the Roussillon region of southeastern France, an area that Europeans are beginning to call "the next Provence." Maury is surrounded by vineyards, with many tasting rooms within easy walking distance. There are cafes and restaurants in town and many more nearby. The spectacular Cathar castles of Peyrepertuse and Queribus are 20 minutes away. The Gorge of Galamus, with its wonderful hiking trails, swimming holes, and the beautiful hermitage of Saint Antoine de Galamus, is also about 20 minutes away. It is a 30 minute drive to the ancient city of Perpignan and two hours to Barcelona. The ski slopes of the Pyrenees can be reached in about an hour, and a 35 minute drive to the east will bring you to the beaches of the Mediterranean. There are dozens of wineries and tasting rooms within a half-hour drive of Maison Voltaire, so when planning a trip, do leave time to stop and sniff and sip the rosés as well as the area's red and white wines. The House Maison Voltaire has been completely restored to contemporary standards of comfort and safety. The ground floor has a garage, laundry and WC. The first floor has three bedrooms and a full bath, shower and WC. The second floor features an open plan kitchen and living room, WC, and small office. There are two double foldout futons in the living room. The top level has an enclosed sunroom and open terrace with a southern view to the surrounding mountains. The house is fully equipped with linens, dishes, kitchen equipment, stereo radio and internet access. It would be ideal for two families to share for a holiday as it can easily sleep four to six adults and four children.
