The Property:

Nestling amongst vineyards in the foothills of the Cevenne mountains the sleepy hamlet of Le Barry is a five minute walk from the centre of Montpeyroux. Le Barry is a no through road leading only to the ruined castle which dominates the village. La Ruine is a restored three-storey 17th century village house, which housed a winemakers family for generations. The house is particularly light and spacious and careful attention has been paid to guests comfort and well being. The house has been restored to a high standard incorporating many original features including exposed stone walls, original fireplace and beams. Large kitchen with dining area, spacious living room opening onto huge terrace. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooker, fridge freezer with plenty of worktop and storage space. The living room opens onto the huge terrace through French windows. There are comfortable chairs and a sofa. The fireplace is at present not in use.

Telephone for incoming calls, electric heating for low season lets, music centre taking CDs, washing machine, garden furniture including sun loungers and gas barbecue.
