You can therefore enjoy one of the terraces of this house with panoramic views of the Minervois plain and the Black Mountain. The stone envelope of the building conceals a resolutely contemporary interior. The Opuntia Pech house happens to be more precisely an old wine cellar that has been transformed into a modern, carefully furnished and air-conditioned accommodation. On the ground floor, you arrive through a small outdoor space planted with palm trees, then through a bright entrance with a small office, two bedrooms, a bathroom and independent toilet. Upstairs, you will find a modern and very bright kitchen-living room: the living room opens through a bay window onto a covered terrace on the Corbières side (with a view of the other rental, Opuntia Téoulièro, overlooking the roofs of the village and the surrounding pine forests); the kitchen opens onto a terrace without a view, offering a panoramic view of the Minervois plain and the Black Mountain. The accommodation can accommodate a maximum of four people (one of the bedrooms offers a double bed and the other a single bed as well as a convertible armchair). We offer our tenants air-conditioned rooms, an equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, and contemporary and quality decoration (Starck armchairs, Artemide sconces, colored glass cupboard doors, stained glass, etc.).
