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, Steve, Charlotte, Emily and Alexander look forward to welcoming you to Bigno Garrigo and to this lovely part of France.  In 2005, we gave up the stresses and strains of the City and swapped it for life here in the Languedoc.  It is very different to what we were used to and we have enjoyed every minute of it.  Charlotte attends the local school in Quarante and has picked up French without any problems.  Emily, now 3, started nursery this year and is telling us how we should be pronouncing words...  The family was completed in June last year with the arrival of Alex.  Things have  been very busy ever since!  The 2009 season is already underway and we are looking forward to catching up with some old faces as well as meeting new ones! Where does the time go? 

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 memorable.
