Idyllic Villa Set Amongst Vineyards With Private Pool

The villa is in a very quiet spot in the Languedoc with a great view towards the sea on a clear day. It is rural, so bear in mind that wifi is slow, there are no cafes/shops within walking distance and it's a bit of a drive to get anywhere. The local vineyards are great and it's a great place to switch off.The villa is not 'luxury' though - it has a 'lived in' feel, complete with more crockery, glassware and cushions than you'd ever need. The owners are helpful, but basics like a 'welcome pack' that includes appliance instructions weren't present. We'd say the villa was clean but not spotless, eg a few cobwebs and worn furniture.We enjoyed our stay, especially the suntrap pool and evenings on the balcony.

Lisa is an excellent hostess and very reachable. The house, especially the kitchen , is (almost over) stocked and the house has enough of just about everything, from pool cushions to pool table and chairs. It’s about 20 min drive to any service you might need but that means the house is quiet with hardly any neighbors. Any issues we had with our rental, Lisa was very quick to offer a solution. Note: the house is essentially two separate apartments each equipped with a full bathroom and kitchen, however there’s no inner staircase, only connection by going outside and down the stairs.

Had all the popular facilities, table tennis, swimming pool, uk tv etc. But, as this was the first let of the season we expected the property to be pristine, it wasnt. Please note there is no internal staircase, which could be an issue with children or the elderly, the outside staircase is made of stone tiles.

This place had been on our radar for the past 7 years - finally we made it. And it didn’t disappoint! We stayed for a fortnight in August as a group of two families with kids ranging age 9 to 16 so the flexible accommodation with two independent apartments was perfect, affording privacy whilst enabling communal relaxation (and eating) on either upstairs or downstairs terraces. It was very hot, so the crystal-clear pool was essential from dawn until dusk! The lush garden and panoramic views (right down to the sea) from the cooling, shady, leafy, balconies are a complete delight. The BBQ-zone was great, especially with “a little corner of paradise” to relax with a glass of rosé and simply listen to the sizzle. The house is well equipped to make your stay super relaxing. Coffee machine and multiple fridges a real boon! Table tennis was a great way to work up an evening appetite. The location of the house is stunning; very verdant despite the fact it hadn’t rained since May! Wander to the meteor crater (pop-up restaurant unfortunately closed during our stay) a must if you are interested in geology and/or wine and the village itself is very charming with the climb up to Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Roque with views giving a real sense of perspective. The nearest shop ‘L’Oustal des Schistes’ is a farm shop/wine/tasting/shop is highly recommended! The local area has lots of variety. We enjoyed a relaxing lunch by the quay in Marseillan, Mediterranean gardens and river swimming at Roquebrun, cooling down in plunge pools at Gorges D’héric; the Saturday morning market and a dinner/shopping evening in Pézenas, beaches at both Sérignan and Castellas near Sète; and tumble-down Cathar castles at Lastours. This villa is seriously relaxing but there are diverse landscapes to explore and beautiful/historic places to visit nearby when you are ready to venture out. Lisa was super helpful both pre-holiday with info about the area and also during our stay- always on hand via WhatsApp to help if we needed anything. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!

Fantastically relaxing 2 week break in this very well equipped, spacious home. The pool was a godsend in 35C weather. The butterflies, bats and birds amused and amazed. Lisa is a wonderfully responsive owner with great knowledge of the area. If you get a chance walk up to the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Roque in the village. A bit steep in places but the views are worth it.

Ces deux appartements indépendants positionnés l'un sur l'autre ne manquent pas de charme ! Même si le temps ne fut pas au rdv nous avons passé d'excellentes moments avec un groupe de 8 personnes ;) les environs sont magnifiques et Lisa reste attentive, répond rapidement, propose un accompagnement sur le activités à faire dans la région et trouve un moyen de gérer lorsque vous avez un petit souci. Une hôte parfaite !

Good standard of accommodation. Very private and peaceful. Lisa was very helpful - she reccomended a spa and pop up resturant in a local vineyard which where both fantastic. Lots to do within 30 mins to 1 hr of location. I would highly reccomend.

This property is extremely well equipped. We enjoyed the extra independence and privacy the separate accommodation offered when friends and family visited. The weather was hot and we greatly enjoyed the pool. The owner was extremely welcoming and helpful. It is a very quiet area and we would definitely think of returning.
