Cottage in Maison Vigneronne le Somail on Canal du Midi 25km from the Mediterranean

Where to start! Location: right alongside the Canal du Midi in a very quiet part of the village - yet only a 2-minute walk to the beautiful village centre. Le Somail is gorgeous. There are so many places to visit - beaches, historical sites, pretty villages, the mountains . . . The gite: wonderful! Full of character, charm and provided with everything you could possibly want. The pretty garden is rich with plants and trees, and has lovely garden furniture. The bedrooms are very spacious with each having an ensuite. The gite is beautifully clean and an excellent size. The host, Nicole: what a truly lovely person. She was always ready to help and so friendly and welcoming. We had a fantastic holiday, and will definitely be returning!

We wanted to revisit the area and this particular property. It has everything we need, is spotless and perfectly situated with easily walkable restaurants all around, as well as a little shop on a barge where you can pick up your croissants and wine. Your host Nicole is also delightful, knowledgeable about the area and extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week in this great, perfect and charming house. Everything you need is available and nothing is missing. Nicole is a perfect hostess and is always there to help and advise.

An excellent choice. Right by the canal, to spend many happy hours just watching the boats go by. There were only two of us, so plenty of room. Very well equipped for a self catering holiday. Bedrooms are huge, as are the beds, which were very comfortable. Shower rooms large and super clean. Welcome pack amazing, and further items during our stay. Thank you Nicole, hope you have a busy season.

Lovely location, host helpful & well organised. Parking on site. Exceptionally clean. Large comfortable bedrooms. Secure rear garden. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

A stunning property in a beautifully location. Nicole our host was very helpful, told us some of the best places to go during our stay. We look forward to being able to return soon.

We had a great stay for 2 weeks and i wish we had booked a month. Generous and kind hosting by Nicole, and the Gite has everything you need to be comfortable. Highly recommended.

Thank you for this wonderful stay, we enjoyed each single minute. Your location is beautiful, your warm welcome even better. Thank you so much hosting us Ivy, Annette, Marc

The gite was impeccable, stylish and supplied with every conceivable comfort. Our host was very kind, knowledgeable and great company. Restaurants are within walking distance of the property and river swimming (for the intrepid…) too! There is much to explore with local markets, the coast line and the canal itself. A great holiday!

This is the perfect location, particularly if you have dogs, come out of the house turn left and you are on the canal path. The village is a 2 minute walk away with a selection of restaurants. The house was really lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

The gite is located on the bank of the Canal du Midi in an idyllic setting. The owner Nicole greets you warmly on arrival and explains all of the facilities and provides lots of suggestions for places to visit and eat out. Nicole also surprised us with some eggs from her own chickens. These were really tasty and a nice touch. We would highly recommend this gite as it is located in a great position to explore the local area. Simply a superb place to stay. This would be our number one choice if we revisit this area.
