Villa in Agel

The surrounding area is a haven of peace and tranquility. It is possible, even at the height of summer, to walk through the village, past the chateau and up the winding road into the countryside and not see another soul. Under a clear warm blue sky, there are views across the surrounding vineyards with only the crickets and birds for company.
Minerve Village – The river Cesse, which runs 100 metres from the villa, is nothing more than a stone-strewn river bed during the summer, but for the more energetic, it is possible to walk along this all the way to the ancient village of Minerve, the most beautiful stone village built clinging to the peninsula formed by two rivers millions of years ago.
There is plenty to do and see further a field. Recommended restaurants can be found just 5 minutes drive away in the nearby villages of Bize-Minervois, Aigne and Aigues-Vivre. There are also local epiceries, supermarkets and bakers, although a local baker visits the village every morning at about 8.30 am. Other mobile vendors visit during the week.
A large supermarket can be found about 10 minutes drive away at St Marcel, the bustling market town of Olonzac is 15 minutes away.
Agel is situated in the east of the Minervois wine region between Narbonne and Carcassonne within easy reach of both the Mediterranean beaches and the region’s airports. The nearest airport is Beziers with the airports of Carcassonne, Perpignan, Toulouse and Montpellier within driving distance. We are happy to provide advice and local information on request.
Agel is a quiet village set on the edge of the Haut Languedoc National park. Surrounded by vineyards, it is a haven of peace and quiet, with wonderful countryside all around, yet only 40 minutes from the nearest beach. The closest airport is Beziers although Carcassonne and Toulouse are also within easy reach. The villa is well equipped for up to 6 people although steps to the front door and from the back terrace would be difficult for people of reduced mobility. The private pool (not accessed by anyone other than the renters) can be heated to around 32 degrees C with the use of the domed cover.
