Le Petit Castellou is situated in Pierrerue, a village perched on the side of a hill, just outside Saint-Chinian. The house is built on part of the site of the old Chateau of the village, which overlooked the valleys around, and you can still see some old arrow slits in the walls by the terrace. Recently refurbished the owners have been careful to retain much of the character of the house.

The house is entered via some steps into a small entrance hall, where you find a washing machine and an additional refrigerator. Step into the salon, with its wood beamed ceiling and ancient fireplace (decorative only), which is furnished with a dining table for four, easy chairs and an antique sideboard. A televison and music centre (CD, radio, cassette) provide entertainment.

   

Off the salon is the galley kitchen, with gas cooker, refrigerator, microwave and the original stone sink. An ancient door leads from the salon to the double bedroom, with its elegant iron bed and en-suite bathroom with shower, WC and hand wash basin.

   

A staircase leads from the salon to the lower floor, where there is a utility area with ironing board, iron and clothes airer. From this utility room French doors lead on to the terrace.
