Gîte (Guest house for rent)

Contact us

Our newly renovated gîte is available from September 2008. Guests are welcome to come and stay throughout the year.

If you are interested in renting this in 2009, please contact Catherine at catherine@combebelle.com for further information.

The Gîte is a south facing detatched 2-bedroom house with large new kitchen, bathroom and spacious living/dining room which sleeps 4-6 people. A studio annex which can sleep 4 people in 2 bedrooms with its own shower/WC also forms part of the gîte. House and annex have been extensively refurbished inside and out, including new kitchen and bath/shower rooms.

Situated in a vineyard location with stunning views, our gîte offers a unique holiday experience in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon. Situated 10km (10mins) from the buzzing town of St Chinian where you can enjoy the local weekly market on Thursdays and Sundays. There are also 2 supermarkets, several banks, a post office, tabac (where you can buy international newspapers), Maison du Vin, boulangerie, boucherie and some restaurants & bars. There is also a great boulangerie in Cébazan which is 5 mins from the vineyard by car but worth the trip!

From Combebelle it is possible to visit places of interest including the medieval Cathar town of Minerve, Pézenas, Béziers, Narbonne, Montpellier, Perpignan, Carcassonne, Gruissan. The beaches around Béziers, Gruissan, Narbonne and Sête are around an hour away and the Canal du Midi is literally only 20mins from the vineyard where you can rent a boat for the day ambling along the canal.

For the more adventurous, there is a riding school in Assignan (10mins), kayaking on the River Orb & Hérault (20mins), swimming in the river at Bize (10mins) or Roquebrun (20mins), sailing on the étang in Marseillan (1 hour), cycling with Mellow Vélos exploring the local countryside and much more.

A bit further out you can head up into the National Park of Haut Languedoc towards St Pons which is a spa town where people used to get their drinking water, and still do in some cases. St Guilhem Le Desert is a wonderful car free village in the mountains close to the Grotte des Damemoiselles where you can explore the cobbold stone houses and artisan's gift shops and have a refreshing cool drink under the large tree in the square.

We are keen to welcome all our guests to Combebelle and will provide a Welcome Pack of some local produce along with a small selection of L'Occitaine products.

We have a large, 12m pool which is heated and a pool house with shower/WC which is available to all our guests. All towels & linen are provided. The gîte is cleaned once a week, with fresh towels & linen provided. If you need anything, please ask and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.

Guests are invited to relax on the terrace with a glass of Combebelle during their stay with us where they can enjoy the view of the Mediterranean & the Pyrenees.

There are some excellent local restaurants close by serving a variety of local dishes and wines such as La Croisade in Cruzy (literally along side the Canal du Midi) and L'Olivier in Cabezac. A local taxi service is on hand to take you to/from the restaurant so that you do not have to worry about “drink/driving”! A bit further afield in Béziers you can sample great cuisine at Au Soleil with a glass of Combebelle rosé! There are also a variety of lovely restaurants in Capestang, Beaufort, Aigues Vives & Bizes – so take your pick!

Please note that the gîte is non-smoking and we cannot accept pets.
