1 Chateau Lazerre Region: Carcassonne Guide Price: POA Sleeps: 15 Image not readable or or empty typo3conf/ext/olivers_travels/resources/public/img/pdf-l Overview This refined chateau in Languedoc is a wine connoisseur s paradise! Set within the tiny hilltop village of Lasserre-de-Prouille, the the winemaker Mon Martin is your next door neighbor. Your holiday chateau overlooks rolling fields full of grapevines and sunflowers, stretching out to the snow-capped Pyrenees. In your own garden you can pluck ripe figs from the vine while you dine beside the saltwater swimming pool - pure rural fantasy.when you arrive, you ll find a welcome hamper so you ll not be hungry after your travels! Take the time to explore your grand hall, where polished wood panels and original tiling lend an aristocratic air. Climb the stone and iron staircase to bedrooms and throw open the windows to let the country air caress the curtains.for groceries and restaurants, head to Montreal or Fanjeaux just 5 km down the road from your holiday chateau. You re only 20 minutes from Carcassonne, a medieval village that hosts the closest airport (and golf courses, if you please). The appeal of the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region lies in the experimental nature of the wines - unconstrained by the strict adherence to rules (like in Bordeaux or Champagne), you'll find interesting blends that may surprise you. Discounts for smaller groups (fewer than 10) are available outside of high season. Facilities Page 1

2 Interior & Grounds The accommodation is arranged over three floors reached by the most magnificent stone and iron staircase. The hall and landings are very grand, indeed rooms in their own right, with polished wood panelling and original tiles. The ground floor enjoys a spacious fully equipped kitchen/larder with 4 oven Aga and views over the courtyard as well as a salon in which to relax adjoined to the dining room that seats 15. The comfortable salon has settees, satellite television (full TV coverage via Freesat), DVD player and I-pod docking station. On the first floor there are three large bedrooms and two bathrooms, one ensuite with the Maitre s bedroom. On the top floor there are 2 further bedrooms, a playroom and a shower room. Please note that every room has two full height windows with views. All the bedrooms have double beds and three of them have additional singles (disguised as daybeds). There are also two further singles in the playroom, a couple of camp beds, 2 cots and a crib. The front of the house opens onto a courtyard with ample parking, glorious views, and an ancient vine to sit under on hot evenings. Adjacent is the beautiful barn of winemaker and farmer Mon Martin. To the rear is the fully enclosed and private garden with the 10x5m salt filtration pool (better on the skin and kids eyes), shady trees, recliners, BBQ and dining table. The large teak table has 16 chairs and is normally sited under our walnut tree, plus there are loungers around the pool. The garden is fully enclosed and catches the sun all day, but has shade under the walnut and fig trees...help yourselves they are delicious! Page 2
