Chez Baiges was originally part
of a large farm and wine growing estate. Indeed the wine press and
fermentation vats are still in place. The buildings are arranged
around a large and secluded courtyard and include 3 houses, several
barns and the winery (or "chai").
The 18th century buildings are constructed of
the local honey coloured limestone. Originally, many of the 2 foot
thick walls were covered with lime render but some have now been
uncovered to reveal the true beauty of the stone. Vines and roses
clothe many of the walls.
The large courtyard is a real sun trap and is
the ideal spot for dining outside or simply soaking up the sun.
Chez Baiges has over 2 acres of grounds. A gateway
from the courtyard leads to the communal gardens and swimming pool
area. For a quieter spot, the orchard provides some welcome shade
from the mid-day sun.
There is a small childrens play area with wendy
house and sand pit.
Grown ups can play petanque on the purpose built
court - We have sets of boules for you to use.
