Two place de la Liberté is a spacious and comfortable house, dating from the middle of the 18th century, located in the village of Trausse-Minervois in the heart of the Minervois. This beautiful village house represents an superior example of a "Maison de Vigneron" that was carefully and beautifully restored preserving much of its original elegance and splender while at the same time adding modern conveniences such as multiple bathrooms, a roof terrace, and professional kitchen space. The house has original Languedoc floor tiles, four fireplaces with marble mantles, and original plaster ceiling roses. In January, we just completed a comprehensive refurnishing and interior decoration of the house. All appliances and furniture are in new condition. The house offers peace and tranquility in the heart of the Minervois. Enjoy its charm and beauty, whilst enjoying the comforts of its modern faculties.
The house is constructed with living spaces on 3 floors. Here is where our guests will find and can enjoy both private and common spaces for their comfort and relaxation. As you move through the house you are absorbed in its distinctive french ambiiance. Everywhere the interior decoratation was carefully chosen to catch you and absorb you into the experience of a traditional Minervois village lifestyle.
