Authentically Restored Ancient Roman Village House

La Belle Ancienne (Ancient Beauty) is nestled in the quaint village 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. Exposed stonework, large wooden beams, a classic winding staircase from cellar to roof terrace, fireplace, marble sink and original tiles preserve the antiquity and charm of its medieval character. Though authentically restored, you will find modern comforts, such as deluxe bedding and towels, French press, smart tv (internet only) and dvd player. To the north from Assignan, you'll see the Montagne Noire and to the south, the Pyrenees. Wandering through landscapes of vineyards whilst enjoying the scents of lavender, rosemary and thyme, you are on the edge the Parc Natural du Haut Languedoc, with its majestic views. Hiking, cycling, canoeing and horse riding are only a few of the many activities in the area.

La Belle Ancienne - a perfect home in the most gorgeous setting...
From start to finish our week at this incredible property was simply a delight in every way. Christine (the owner) was brilliant to be in touch with, giving us some fantastic recommendations for local markets, eateries and local wine producers. The house itself is perfect - with fabulous facilities but still retaining all it's charm and wonderfully clean and well presented. The village of Assignan is quiet and peaceful but surrounded by vineyards and with 3 restaurants there is plenty of amazing food and wine to enjoy and everyone is so friendly. We found some beautiful walks nearby and were blessed with great weather for the whole time we were there - the Languedoc lends itself to the sun... so beautiful. The whole area is steeped in so much history, which we loved... Cathar country... and there is a fantastic array of guides and maps at La Belle Ancienne to get you started. We had the best week away, I cannot recommend this property more highly.

All you could hope for
We spent a terrific week at Chrstine’s Lovely property. The house really does have everything you could hope for and we really enjoyed our week of self catering. There are lots of great towns and villages within the radius of an hour by car. The one thing we missed was aircon since our visit coincided with a 43C heatwave. The peace and quiet of Assignan was a balm for the soul.

Absolutely charming - loved it.
We were delighted with the standard of accommodation at La Belle Ancienne. Everything was there for a comfortable and memorable stay. We were attending a wedding in Assignan and it was a joy to return each evening after a full day's activities and just relax.
