Notes on accommodation
There is underfloor heating throughout the villa. The villa is on one level and is suitable for young children, as it is completely secured with locked gates at the front and the garden has a high wall/fencing all round. The pool is private, and perfect for little ones, fully fenced with a lockable gate, so young children cannot gain access without an adult. Although we have never had any problems, we specifically do not take any responsibility in any incident inside or outside the house, garden, pool or surrounding areas.
You are expected to keep the villa clean and tidy throughout your stay, as you would at home, and you are expected to do a full clean before you leave, empty dishwasher & clear away contents, empty bins and dispose of all rubbish, recycling bottles etc. Failure to do so may result in some or all of your security bond being retained.

Owner profile
About the owner
Having holidayed in in the Languedoc region for over 7 years, it was our natural choice when choosing where to buy in France!We researched the area carefully and decided on the "jewel" in France's crown - Languedoc Roussillon.Stunningly beautiful scenery, far more beautiful than it's over-commercialised neighbour, Provence.Fantastic roads & motorways,a dream to drive down from the UK (Calais-Cazouls av 9 hrs) miles and miles of clean creamy sandy beaches, breathtaking countryside, masses of history, medieval hilltop villages & castles etc.The pool is a dream!Having been disappointed with many places we stayed, we wanted to offer a stylish, comfortable, home-from-home with good standard accommodation etc. As a result our guests book year after year, we book up more than a year in advance.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We did a lot of research about where to buy in France before we bought, but what struck us most by the Herault region of Languedoc Roussillon, is it's sheer beauty, excellent roads and fantastic cheap flight routes (4 between 20 and 45 mins drive from the villa).
It has so much to offer, from beautiful rivers to mountain walks to miles of safe sandy uncrowded beaches, from medieval hilltop villages to beautiful cities like Beziers, Narbonne and Montpellier, to fully restored medieval citadels all within 5 to 40 minutes drive away. Scenary is breathtaking - far, far more beautiful than Provence, with it's overcrowded beaches and congested roads. There are sandy beaches to die for, going on for miles and miles, which are never overcrowded and the thing we love is that it's unspoilt.
Unique benefits of the property
Our property is 4 mins walk from the ancient village centre, it's set in a private and quiet residential road, is very spacious and has a large garden and pool. The vibrant colourful Catalan decor is much loved by our guests, and it's open-plan sejour (lounge, dining room and kitchen) is perfect for entertaining and spacious enough to house 2 large families nicely.
5 mins from the River L'Orb with its water-sports facilities, 15/20 mins from miles of sandy beaches, not to mention a lovely large garden, and fully enclosed 11x5 metre pool. Life takes on a whole new meaning when you can relax by the pool, soaking up the hot sun before your next dip, or take aperitifs on the terrace or under the pergola before dinner! Join us there this year!
