A wonderful hideaway with great views, in the village of Pierrerue, close to Saint Chinian. Perfect for a relaxing time on the terrace or a great base for exploring the surrounding area. One bedroom Sleeps two plus baby Terrace BBQ

L'Ardiere's name comes from the Provencal and means a place in the sun, which perfectly describes this comfortable apartment.

   

The apartment is on the ground floor of an old stone house, and is reached via a gently sloping drive (park your car on the road just above) and entered through French doors from the terrace.

The main room is the open plan living room. To one side is the fitted kitchen, which is well equipped with electric cooker (two ring), extractor fan, microwave oven, toaster oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric coffee maker, toaster and kettle, as well as all dishes, glassware and crockery.

   

The remainder of the room is taken up by the wooden dining table seating four and the day bed. There is also a TV (terrestrial stations).

   

A corridor leads from the living room past the bathroom with shower cabin, WC and wash hand basin, as well as a washing machine. At the end of the corridor is the bedroom with double bed, night tables, chest of drawers and built in closet with beautiful antique doors. French doors lead from this room onto the terrace.

The terrace is comfortably furnished with romantic French iron furniture, sun umbrella and deck chairs. The old olive tree by the terrace provides some shade, and there is also a shady corner in the garden, which slopes downwards. A built in BBQ allows you to make the most of outdoor living. The wide views from the terrace are over the valley leading towards St Chinian.

   

Pierrerue is a 'pas du commerce' vineyard village, which means it has no permanent shops. However mobile shops come to the village throughout the week - the baker daily at 8.45 am, the grocery at noon on Wednesdays and the butcher at noon on Fridays and are very much a feature of village life, when people gather to make their purchases.

A large choice is on offer on market days in St Chinian - a colourful experience which takes place on Sunday and Thursday mornings from 9 am - 1 pm. The shops, restaurants and bars in St Chinian itself are only a five minutes drive away. There are two supermarkets in St Chinian, both stocking a good range of products.
