Bigno Garrigo - a former wine “chai” - stands in grounds of nearly 3 acres, with colourful garden areas, an olive grove and a large area of “garrigue” with wild herbs and a variety of flora and fauna.  Just a few steps from your holiday home, you can enjoy the 50 sq m heated pool (enclosed and alarmed for child safety), or work off surplus energy playing table tennis, badminton and other games on the large recreational area, or in a more leisurely way playing boules.  We now also have a free WiFi internet connection.

 

Picturesque setting - over a glass of wine – or two! – on your terrace or patio, unwind and enjoy the superb views over the vineyards across the beautiful green valley.  Close by there are tracks, trails and country lanes between the vines for walking and cycling.  Bigno Garrigo is situated on the D36 just off the D612 (formerly the N112) between Puisserguier and St. Chinian.  A short drive takes you to the long sandy Mediterranean beaches, or up into the Montagne Noire – or to the local tennis courts, horse-riding, canoeing in the gorges of the Orb, river fishing, a golf driving range and several excellent golf courses.  There is also a good selection of excellent value local restaurants and regional wines to savour.

Relaxation - all our properties are designed for self-catering (see property details page), but if you wish to put your feet up you can join in our weekly barbecue evening (or Mediterranean evening, depending on the season) with fellow guests; we also hold a pre-dinner wine tasting evening for those who are interested.  For a really relaxed arrival, order our starter pack of basic essentials to see you through until you feel fit for shopping, and/or our arrival meal which can be waiting for you in your property (see “optional extras” page).  Shopping is convenient and easy, with local wines, charcoal, postcards and much more available in the foyer, whilst the nearest local shops and markets are just a few minutes’ drive away.  Linen and towel hire are also available, with free laundry facilities and all the properties are fitted with insect screens.

Your hosts - Sarah, Steve, Charlotte and Emily look forward to welcoming you to Bigno Garrigo and to this lovely part of France.  In 2005, we gave up the stresses and strains of the City and swapped it for life here in the Languedoc.  It is very different to what we were used to and we have enjoyed every minute of it.  Charlotte attends the local school in Quarante and has picked up French without any problems.  Emily, born here in June 2006, and so a true Languedocienne, will, no doubt, soon be doing the same. 

We are around most of the time and are always available to help you with any queries or problems that may arise.  Our aim is for you to have a great holiday and we will do our best to make your stay with us memorable.  2007 was another good year and we really enjoyed meeting all our guests.  We are thrilled that so many have booked to come back in 2008 (and the year after!!) as they have obviously enjoyed their stay.
