Bastide des Salins (293)
Cotignac, France

From the village Cotignac it is a 5 minute drive through the vineyards to the house. The last part of the trip is over the private driveway through the olive trees, along your own, century’s old water well, to the house. There are plenty of parking spaces for several cars. The terrace in front of the house is surrounded by Mulberry trees, creating a rural atmosphere. Under the thatched roofed terrace you can sit in the shade and enjoy the view. There are natural stone stairs leading down from the terrace to the swimming pool. Around the pool are olive trees which provide shelter.

There is a large terrace with hardwood sun beds and a sitting area with authentic French metal beds. In the mornings you can sit at the large wooden table with wooden benches and enjoy your breakfast in the sun. There is a large dug in trampoline and a ping pong table for the children. At the side of the house is a lounge area where you can relax. There is also a large wooden table so you can enjoy the late afternoon sun while dining outside (there is a Weber barbeque). You can enjoy the sun throughout the day, but if you prefer, you can also sit out in the shade.

The old trees around the house provide plenty of shade on hot days. Please note: Due to the natural stones “restangues” (stone walls which divide the grounds in terraces) the area directly around the house might be less suitable for adventurous toddlers. Please check the photos to judge for yourself if it is suitable for your child. The swimming pool can be closed off by a shutter to prevent children falling in.
