We have just returned from an idyllic stay in this beautiful house in the middle of a lovely French village. We were 6 adults - 3 couples - and the house was more than big enough to accomodate us all with ease. It is charmingly furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and plenty of seating inside and out. The pool is big enough to cool off and have a short swim and if you bring a lilo like we did then there is extra sunbathing space! Sitting outside in the garden and hearing the sounds of the village around us was a great pleasure but it was quiet enough to sleep - even though the village was 'en fete' when we there and had a fair and bands playing - enormous candy floss and dodgems! There are 2 boulangeries within 5 minutes walk and the Spar had nearly everything we needed - if not the Casino supermarket was 10 minutes drive away. Great greengrocer and very helpful Pharmacy as well. Our favourite beach was Valras Plage which is pretty and fairly uncrowded but has restaurants and shops as well - this was a 20 minute drive away and there were other beaches not much further. Beziers itself was very lovely with lots of Cathar history. Jennifer was extremely helpful throughout our stay. All in all if you want a lovely lazy holiday in a proper French village then I cannot recommend this house highly enough - we were very sad to come home.

Right from the initial point of contact Jennifer couldn't be more helpful. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome gift and a bottle of wine. Everywhere was clean and tidy and just lovely. The rooms are all a good size and the pool is just a God send on hot sunny days. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of space. The kitchen had everything we needed, the oven is a bit fierce so would suggest cooking everything at a lower temperature. We stayed for 2 weeks and Jennifer was the other end of the phone if we needed anything. I personally can't recommend this place enough and would love to go back again, well to be honest we didn't want to leave. Thank you for letting us borrow your home and for everything along the way.
The listing was as advertised. It's rustic charm gives the feeling of more than a place for a holiday; a feeling of coming home. Sunny days under a palm tree by a lovely clean pool and an easy to operate barbecue. The owner was charming and even purchased extra outdoor chairs when we said there would be guests for a barbecue. She is certainly someone willing to go the extra distance for her guests. The open plan kitchen/dining area is very convenient. With comfortable bedrooms on both floors there is plenty of privacy. The rustic feeling gives an idea of what the village might have been like a century ago, but with modern conveniences. It was altogether the happiest of times and I look forward to a return stay.
When we arrived at the property the owner was there to greet us and give us a guided tour. She was friendly and helpful and was able to answer all our questions. The property itself met our expectations in terms of facilities. It is an unusual property, very rustic and full of character. The courtyard garden was lovely and our children spent hours in the little swimming pool. We enjoyed using the BBQ and there was plenty of room for all nine of us to sit and eat outside. There were a few minor issues which need to be sorted out: the kettle leaked, there was a hole on the staircase which needs fixing, fridge did not seem 100% efficient, the dishwasher was a bit temperamental and there were no hangers in the wardrobes. However this did not detract from our overall enjoyment and we would definitely rent this property again. The village of Lespignan is quiet and feels quite off the beaten track which we liked. There is a bakery, greengrocers, butchers, a Spar, a pizza shop and three restaurants within a few minutes walk. There is also a good supermarket and Mc Donalds 10 mins drive away. There were lots of lovely beaches and plenty of places of interest to visit within an hours drive including the beautiful Canal du Midi, Carcassonne and Montpellier .
Our party of 6 stayed in May 2016 and we LOVED it. The villa is the perfect base from which to explore the area or for a relaxing break. It is full of character and wonderful features. Outside has a great area to make the most of the climate: to sit in the sun, dine, BBQ and has a lovely sized pool. Indoors has lots of space and is very well equipped. Actually, if anything we would say that the pictures do not do it justice - it is best to see with your own eyes! In addition to the property, the owner was absolutely lovely. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, we really thank her for allowing us to stay in her home. Thank you Jennifer! Highly recommend.
We rented L'Oasis for a late summer early autumn break and the weather was perfect for enjoying this part of France, namely the vineyards. The house was airy and had plenty of room for kids to run around. We particularly enjoyed the bar b q and pool area, it was very cosy. Jennifer was extremely helpful and attentive to all our questions and requests, she is a mine of information and really made a difference to our stay. Thank you and best wishes, The Palmer family
We booked this house for the weekend to celebrate my partners 50th, There were 8 of us in the party all adults, we wanted a house with lots of french charm and we were not disapointed, this house oozes with charm, it is in a beautiful village with everything you need to make it a holiday to remember, we were all fighting to get to the village every morning to get our pastries and french bread for breakfast, there is plenty of room for 8 adults + it has everything you could need. plenty of room, with charming bedrooms. Jennifer was so helpful answered all our questions before we booked, and even sent a message while we were there to make sure we had everything we needed. she also recommended a lovely place to eat for our birthday meal nearby at Hostellerie du Chateau! which was very good food and a very reasonable price. We were very unfortunate to book the weekend that it rained, but that still did not stop some of us using the pool and with a large log burner to warm us up after was a treat. We hired a car a drove around the area and it is truely beautiful. If you want a slice of french charm than dont look for anywhere else this property offers it all. and made it a birthday weekend to remember. We are hoping to go back next year, there really was not a single dislike about the service or the property
The living room is absolutely lovely with plenty of room for the seven of us and the kitchen is generously equipped. The bedrooms are beautifully set out and those downstairs are dark, spacious and cool. The upstairs bedroom is sunny and low-ceilinged. The garden is a courtyard with chairs, barbecue, two sun loungers and an excellent dining table and although charming, we found it disappointingly small for the seven of us. It is a compact, shady space laid with pebbles making sunbathing difficult. Some of us lay towels on the narrow planks surrounding the small pool and balanced precariously. If, like us, you like to lounge around outside reading and basking then perhaps this is not the house for you but it is the perfect base for exploring the local beaches, towns and tourist resorts
