From the owner

Beautiful, romantic, peaceful, ecstatically reviewed, authentically-restored house and sunny roof terrace in the heart of a medieval village with nature all around; fresh boulangerie delivered daily, swimming, castles, markets, mountains, fine dining, countryside exploring and a plethora of local wine... it's the perfect place to experience southern France at its best.

La Belle Ancienne is far from a conventional hotel; most suited to those who seek a unique dwelling with character and original charm intact.

The house is nestled in the quaint hamlet of Assignan (936 AD), built on a hill near St Chinian, in the heart of a region steeped in history, as well as wine: the Languedoc. It can comfortably accommodate two to four adults, on three floors of rustic French decor, with the addition of a spacious roof terrace overlooking the vineyards and rolling hills beyond. Exposed stonework, large wooden beams, a classic winding staircase from cellar to terrace, fireplace, marble sink and original tiles preserve the antiquity and flavor of its medieval attributes.

The kitchen has been opened up with more counter space added, along with several new appliances. A large pyramid wood stove has been installed in the fireplace to provide a cozy atmosphere on chilly nights. The terrace has also been refurbished and bedrooms updated. The bath was recently completely remodeled - a must see!

All rates include utilities (electricity, wood and internet) except winter months, when electricity and wood is charged upon usage.

Please see personal website (LaBelleAncienne) for last minute specials.

Wherever you choose to go, I wish you wonderful adventures in the south of France!

    The house was quaint and very well kept. It served all our needs. The village and surrounding areas were fun to explore. Had a great time.

    The Languedoc can be gorgeous in April; green and full of wildflowers, with vineyards starting to bud. I’m glad the house was comfortable and that you had time to explore this little corner of the world. Come back anytime!
