Traditional South of France holiday villa to sleep 10 in 5 bedrooms, on a Languedoc Domaine. FRIDAY ARRIVAL
This French holiday home has been traditionally renovated with love and care. The accommodation is on various levels with quirky mezzanine floors, accessed by open wooden staircases (Sturdy, but not suitable for the very young or old, hand rails planned).
External stairs lead up to the entrance of the holiday property.
Friday arrival day, flexible off season.
This lovely stone building has been renovated by the owner to provide comfortable self-catering accommodation, 1.5km from the traditional Languedoc village of Puimisson, near to Beziers and just 25 minutes from the beaches. This holiday home is perfect for a family break in the South of France.
The house has an authentic French style with a Provencal influence. The accommodation is on different levels with quirky mezzanine floors, great for older children to explore, the 5 bedrooms are spread around the property so great if you wish to be away from the snorers in the family! This house is perfect for families with adolescent children who want to have a 'dorm' in one of the mezannines.
An industrial strength air-conditioning unit (programmed by the owner) cools the house in the evening and morning.
The heated above ground pool (6m x 5.5m) is gated and secure.
There is a sister property Gite Lucienne also on the domaine.
Extra accomodation can be provided for 2 people in the recently renovated tower, "la Follie" which will also have a hot -tun on the roof terrace! contact us for prices (La Follie can only be rented with this villa)
We have worked with this owner for over 14 years and know the domaine and owner very well so please do ask any questions.
OUTSIDE - This Languedoc Roussillon holiday Mas has its own private entrance with electric gates.
There are terraces on different levels and a courtyard, and you can relax on one of the sun-loungers, snooze in the shade on a day bed or take a dip in the pool.
Dine alfresco as there is a gas BBQ and an outside dining area.
The heated pool (no extra charge) is very secure for young children as it is raised above the ground and surrounded by a fence. It measures 6m x 5.5m, one could say it is almost like a large Jacuzzi without the jets!
Just outside the domaine you will find acres of vineyards, visit in September to see the harvest taking place.
