Tranquil, rustic, riverside retreat

Part of a renovated marble mill, located within an idyllic valley with the river gently meandering past, La Riviere offers an oasis of calm & tranquillity with it’s historic Roman Bridge, gloriously coloured cliffs sitting in the foothills to the stunning black mountains. Nature is abundant with native trees providing shade across the 4 acres of grounds & the swimming pool. Built around an ancient Marble Mill it is the perfect location for those who want to simply unwind & relax or for those looking for a great base to explore the region with its pretty villages & markets, lakes and rivers, the picturesque Canal du Midi, historic Cathar castles, fantastic local wine Domains or beautiful Mediterranean beaches all no more than an hour away.
