Domaine Bigno Garrigo - a former wine “chai” - stands in grounds of nearly 3 acres, with colourful garden areas, an olive grove and a large area of “garrigue” with wild herbs and a variety of flora and fauna.  Just a few steps from your holiday home, you can enjoy the 50 sq m heated pool (enclosed and alarmed for child safety), or work off surplus energy playing table tennis, badminton and other games on the large recreational area, or in a more leisurely way playing boules.  There is also a free WiFi internet connection.

Stunning setting - over a glass of wine – or two! – on your terrace or patio, unwind and enjoy the superb views over the vineyards across the beautiful green valley.  Close by there are tracks, trails and country lanes between the vines for walking and cycling.  Bigno Garrigo is situated on the D36 just off the D612 (formerly the N112) between Puisserguier and St. Chinian.  A short drive takes you to the long sandy Mediterranean beaches, or up into the Montagne Noire – or to the local tennis courts, horse-riding, canoeing in the gorges of the Orb, river fishing, a golf driving range and several excellent golf courses.  There is also a good selection of excellent value local restaurants and regional wines to savour.

Relaxation - all our properties are designed for self-catering (see our property details page) and have their own private terrace/patio area but if you wish to put your feet up you can join in our weekly barbecue evening (or Mediterranean evening, depending on the season) with fellow guests; we also hold a pre-dinner wine tasting evening for those who are interested.  For a really relaxed arrival, order our starter pack of basic essentials to see you through until you feel fit for shopping, and/or our arrival meal which can be waiting for you in your property (see our “optional extras” page).  Shopping is convenient and easy, with local wines, charcoal, and other sundries available from us, whilst the nearest local shops and markets are just a few minutes’ drive away.  Linen and towel hire are also available, with laundry facilities and all the properties are fitted with insect screens.

Your hosts - Sarah and Steve look forward to welcoming you to this lovely part of France.  We left the UK almost 6 years now and we have loved every minute of it.  The children have grown up and are into local life and we are still discovering new places in the area.  Who could ask for anything more? 

The 2010 season is now underway - we have had quite a few B&B visitors so far this year, which has been fun.  Also, as some of you may know, we have undertaken a facelift on the building over the last two winters.  Thankfully we have just about finished and we will be posting some new photos on the site soon.  We have been enjoying some lovely weather over the last couple of weeks and some of us have managed to use the pool most days...  This year's  painting holidays will soon be starting (see below) and we are looking forward to catching up with the regulars as well as meeting some new faces.  

We are around most of the time and are always available to help you with any queries or problems that may arise.  We hope you have a great holiday with us and we will do our best to make your stay here enjoyable. 

We have been running Painting Holidays since  October 2009.  We are thrilled with the response we have had to them.  Just a couple of the press releases below.  We are filling up for this year now too.
