Caunes Minervois : Les Cyprès
	Sleeps four.  Extensive gardens and pool. Les Cypres is situated on the same site as La Petite Pepiniere.  It offers welcoming and comfortable accommodation for up to four people and is only five minutes walk from the centre of the village of Caunes-Minervois.  The building dates back to the mid nineteenth century but has recently been completely renovated while retaining the feel of a traditional house.  It is in a quiet and peaceful setting.  Caunes-Minervois is a charming and welcoming village with a network of mediaeval streets at the centre around the Benedictine abbey founded in 790 AD  The village is attractively situated, lying at the northern edge of the winegrowing plain of the Minervois area, where the land starts to rise up into the foothills of the Montagne Noire.
The house has it's own private area of garden from which a staircase leads to the sunny and secluded balcony with glazed door leading into the well equipped kitchen/dining room. (fridge-freezer, dishwasher, etc) On the same floor is the small sitting room and the bathroom.  Upstairs is a double bedroom, a twin bedded room and a washroom.  The house is centrally heated and also has a wood burning stove so is cosy and comfortable for winter breaks as well as summer holidays.
	The Minervois is a wine growing area between Narbonne and Carcassonne in the Languedos region.  Both scenery and climate are typically Mediterranean but the Montagne Noire and the Parc Regional du Haut-Languedoc are only a few kilometres to the north with shady forests and mountain lakes.  Theres lots to see and do; Cathare castles, the canal du Midi, the caves at Limousis and Cabrespine, winetasting, local fairs and festivals.
