Full Description
An incredible property comprising numerous buildings set around a series of courtyards and a cloister. There are some habitable parts with more than 20 bedrooms, whilst huge space could be renovated and converted into living areas. The most imposing element is a South facing Chateau built in the style of French architect Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc which is in need of restoration. Other buildings include a new accommodation block, built in a style which is sympathetic to the rest of the property; two further stone-built accommodation units, a chapel, a chapter house, former stable, kitchens, dining rooms, offices, workshops, farm buildings and an enormous wine production facility. Many aspects of the property have been restored by the monks, using traditional techniques and materials to stunning effect; of particular note is the cloister they have built using stone and wood which they sourced, cut and fashioned by hand to a professional standard. Further restoration has been undertaken in order to have accommodation to host guest.
There are dozens of rooms within the property of varying sizes from huge refectory and large chapel to bureaus and former monks? cells converted into good size bedrooms. With no immediate neighbours the property is surrounded by flat farmland planted partly with vines, a lovely country side setting. The nearest village is just a couple of kilometres away, a popular market town only a short drive as well as the Mediterranean Sea and various international airports.
DPE not applicable.
