The Review · Notre avis

## A wine estate that learned to keep _guests_.

Les Carrasses is a grand nineteenth-century wine château that sat empty for decades and was brought back, room by room, into one of the most relaxed places to stay in the Languedoc. The estate still makes wine; the courtyards and outbuildings have become rooms and self-catering villas, ranged around a long pool that looks straight out over its own vineyards to the hills.

It is not a hushed, hands-off sort of hotel — there are children in the pool and bicycles against the wall — but the bones are serious: high ceilings, stone floors, the slow Languedoc light. You can cook for yourself or hand the evening to the bistro; either way the wine comes from the gate.

### The table

The bistro sets up in the old chai and on the terrace, simple and southern: charcuterie, grilled fish, the estate’s own bottles. Read our full [Languedoc guide](https://the-south-of-france.com/en/languedoc/languedoc-guide/).

### Getting there

The château is twenty minutes inland from Béziers, between Capestang and the Canal du Midi. Come by car — the vineyards and the canal are the reason to have one here. See also our [Canal du Midi by bicycle](https://the-south-of-france.com/en/languedoc/canal-du-midi-velo/).

The verdict · En un mot

“A grown-up holiday house with a vineyard attached. Take a villa for a week, ride the canal, and drink what grows over the wall.”
