Gîte La Contie
Charming gîte in an old wine estate.
DESCRIPTION
Enjoy an idyllic setting in the heart of the Vallon de Marcillac. Set in the restored 18th-century part of this small château, the "La Contie" gîte bears witness to its winegrowing past, with its cellars and wine presses. Its proximity to the "Vignerons du Vallon" winery makes it an ideal place to discover the characteristics of the local "Fer Servadou" grape variety. Fully-equipped gîte, possibility of 4 additional bedrooms (14 people in total).
Dominique and Françoise have been living at La Contie for 12 years now. After 30 years in the heritage business, they decided to acquire this charming estate, which they have continued to embellish over the years.
Françoise, a keen hiker, will give you information on the various circuits around La Contie (topo-guides available), and will let you taste her jams made from fruit picked on the spot.
Dominique, for his part, has been passionate about this astonishing local grape variety for five years, and has planted a hectare of vines. With the "Vignoble et découverte" label, he'll be happy to show you the best places to meet the Vallon's winegrowers.
We look forward to welcoming you with a glass of Ratafia du Vallon.
Bed linen and towels available for hire: 12 euros and 5 euros
