Villa With Private Pool And Mountain Views
Peaceful Location, 10 Minutes Walk To Village Centre
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
The villa was built in 1990 on an old terraced vineyard on a hillside, the design and setting of which makes the most of the magnificent mountain views, and overlooks the lovely village of Soubes, and up the Pass of Escallette. Soubes is an ancient unspoilt village nestling 800 feet up in the foothills of the Cevennes. Ideal for quiet relaxing holidays. We are 10 minutes walk from the village centre. Apart from July and August, I can offer split or part week rentals, please ask. Please note, due to the quiet location of the property, it is not suitable for people who like to make a lot of noise, particularly at night! Thank you.

The garden consists of two terraces and covers an area of half an acre, the natural flora is a lovely feature, with a private small wood, broom, thyme, fennel, fig and olive trees. The private pool is 27 feet by 12 feet and is landscaped into the garden.
Coast/Beach
Driving takes approx 40 minutes to Cap d'Agde, and the surrounding coastal resorts, you may well already know that this part of the Languedoc has some of the cleanest, longest beaches in Europe.

The nearest golf course is approx 40 minutes drive through beautifull scenery, and is fairly new. There is an outdoor Lido at Lunas, which is approx 35 minute drive, the Lac du Salagu is 15 minutes drive.

Montpellier & Bezier airports are 40 minutes from the villa and are served by planes from most parts of the U.K. Carcassonne airport is 11/2 hours and Nimes 11/2 hours. Both Gerona and Toulouse Airports are 21/2 hours drive. The Eurostar (TGV) goes to Montpellier via Lille. Please note car hire or use of car is recommended.

In Lodeve, you will find all you need to support yourselves during your holiday. There are plenty of top class restaurants, banks, cash machines and supermarkets, and not forgetting the local market on a Saturday morning which is superb.
Booking notes
I own a hotel, so can accept card payments. A deposit of 25% of the total is required with booking. Final balance is due 8 weeks before the holiday. Once the final balance has been paid, no refund can be given, however we assume you will take out full insurance cover for your holiday, including cancellation insurance. A £200.00 security deposit is payable with the final balance. This is to cover breakages etc. and will be returned less any expenses for these with any invoices after your stay.
Owner profile
In my hotel on Tyneside!
About the owner
I have always loved France and since the sixties have visited many different regions. In 1985 I holidayed in Grande Motte, and toured around as well. I immediately fell in love with the Languedoc, although the wine then did not compare with the wines available now. Indeed they are now considered to be amongst the best in France. You probably know that Languedoc Roussillon is the largest vineyard in the World!
Year purchased: 1980's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
I felt completely at home in Soubes from day one. I love swimming in the Gorges of the Tarn, and canoeing also. My favourite pastime is just to sit on my veranda with a glass of wine and let the World go by.
Unique benefits of the property
The Villa, although in a lovely old village, is close to Montpellier, Bezier and Millau, so is not isolated. The coast is 45 minute away, and the World famous Roquefort cheese caves are nearby too. The view from the Villa is just beautiful, and the people are very friendly. The pool is a feature of the Villa, and great for cooling off at anytime on a hot day. The Villa is ideal for those seeking a relaxing holiday and not those who want a wild noisy time! as we do have neighbours who live there all year round, and we try to respect each other.
