Constantia
Constantia is a traditional ivy-covered village property overlooking the Canal du Midi in the enchanting hamlet of
le Somail. One of the most picturesque bridges in France straddles the canal which is home to a colourful flotilla
of pleasure craft, and is now designated a World Heritage Site. Behind the house the vast vineyards of the Minervois
stretch away north to the Montagne Noire, and to the west orchards of peach and nectarine provide delicious fresh
fruit in season. There are two excellent canalside restaurants in Somail, a supermarket is just 2kms away, the
lovely old town of Narbonne 13kms, and the Mediterranean beaches 26kms. Le Somail is a perfect location within
easy reach of beaches, lakes and mountains and Constantia is an ideal base from which to explore this fascinating region.
 A wooden staircase leads from the entrance up to its two bedrooms. Opposite the twin bedroom is a bathroom with
shower whilst the master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with bath and shower. Across the landing is a magnificent
split-level open plan living area with traditional beamed ceiling and windows on three sides. The well-equipped kitchen
has a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric oven and gas hob.
 French windows open onto the roof terrace with barbeque, garden furniture and views across the vineyards. There
is a washing machine in a third bathroom on the ground floor. The pool is shared with the friendly couple who
run our boat hire business next door and look after the house.
