Bigno Garrigo - a former wine “chai” - stands in grounds of nearly 3 acres, with colourful garden areas, olive grove and a large area of “garrigue” with wild herbs and a variety of flora and fauna. Just a few steps from your holiday home, you can enjoy the 50 sq m heated pool with Jacuzzi, or work off surplus energy playing table tennis, badminton and other games on the large recreational area, or in a more leisurely way playing boules. There are tracks, trails and country lanes between the vines for walking and cycling, or you can relax over a glass of wine – or two! – on your terrace or patio and enjoy the superb views over the vineyards across the beautiful green valley. Bigno Garrigo is situated just off the N112 between Puisserguier and St. Chinian. A short drive takes you to the long sandy Mediterranean beaches, or up into the Montagne Noire – or to the local tennis courts, horse riding, canoeing in the gorges of the Orb, river fishing, a golf driving range and several excellent golf courses. There is also a good selection of excellent value local restaurants and regional wines to savour.

There are 5 properties, all south facing with their own terrace or patio and all with their own barbecue, exterior lighting, garden tables and chairs and loungers. All properties have open plan kitchens, fully equipped for self-catering, and double or single sofa beds in the living area. Panoramic views of the valley covered in vineyards are enjoyed by all properties. Each one has its own individual character and all are decorated and furnished differently. Ample parking, with areas close to each property for loading/unloading.

All our properties are designed for self-catering, but when you wish to put your feet up you can join in our weekly barbecue evening with fellow guests; there is also the option of our wine tasting evening.   For a really relaxed arrival, order our starter pack of basic essentials to see you through until you feel fit for shopping, and/or our arrival meal which can be waiting for you in your property (please contact owners for details).  Linen and towel hire are also available, with free laundry facilities and all the properties are fitted with insect screens. Some excellent local wines are available "chez nous".

No pets.
