Surrounded by the beauty of the Corbières region - century old olive groves and vineyards, Les Jardins de Saint Benoît conceals a number of charming town and “vigneronne” homes with private pools.

These faithful updates of traditional “maisons vigneronnes” (winemaker’s homes) offer 3 to 5 bedrooms and self catering facilities. Aimed at nature lovers, children, food lovers and those keen to enjoy this special region, the village comprises several small houses, pedestrian cobbled streets, fountains, olive groves, and an elegant pool area.

Younger children can visit the animals at the petting zoo while older children can go fly fishing in the local river or prepare the vegetables they picked in the medieval garden. Adults will enjoy the Spa and tennis facilities.
