About this property

A Break by the Pond

Enjoy the peaceful fishing and artists’ village of Bages, in the heart of the Narbonnaise Regional Nature Park.
Swimming in the ponds, hiking or biking along the many trails, visiting Languedoc wineries or the village’s art exhibitions—these are just some of the activities that rival the street concerts or simply the tranquility of the accommodation and its breathtaking view of the pond, which is home to many species of birds at certain times of the year.
You’ll enjoy a fully equipped kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator) that opens onto the living room, which features a table and chairs, a sofa, a TV, a coffee table, two armchairs, and two single beds; a bedroom with a double bed; and a bathroom with a shower, sink, toilet, and washing machine.
It’s a 15-minute walk from the village playground, where the little ones can run around, a 6-minute drive from the Narbonne shopping district, and a 20-minute drive from the beaches.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Limited housekeeping is available.

Séjour très agréable malgré l'hiver !

Avec des temperatures hivernales, il était difficile de chauffer la pièce principale avec un seul appareil de chauffage mais séjour tb. J'aurais cependant souhaité avoir un numéro de téléphone au cas où !
