Charming 2 Bedroomed Spacious Villa in Nizas, Herault - Le Catalan

Domaine Saint Ferréol is located in the heart of the Herault Valley in Languedoc, the South of France. This wonderful Domaine offers luxurious holiday rental accommodation for your family or friends.

Set in the midst of vines, the ancient Domaine buildings lie in a 35 acre estate, comprising of 2 acres of wooded parkland, 1 km of riverbank, a bamboo park and natural water gardens and ponds. The natural habitat attracts a wide variety of wildlife and is wonderful for birdwatching enthusiasts.

St. Ferreol has been lovingly restored, yet the accommodation has retained many of the original features. It offers 3, 2 and 1 bedroomed individual holiday villas that have all been tastefully furnished with antique furniture, maintaining a traditional Languedoc character. The luxury bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens are furnished to the highest standard, ensuring that your stay is as comfortable as possible.

For relaxing, there is a large swimming pool (13 x 6 m) with Roman end steps set in 3/4 acre of lawns, mature trees and parkland. It is bordered by a century old 2 metre high wall and a dis-used small canal over which there are panoramic views down to the river.

The property dates back to 822 but prior to that there were first Greek and thereafter Roman villas on the site. In 2006 Chateau de St. Ferréol recommenced making fine wines and now holds regular wine tastings for guests. Under the evening sunset, you can enjoy a glass of wine and watch the swallows skim over and sip the water.

Set in the shady wooded parkland is a children’s play area with swings, a slide, a climbing frame, sand pit and table tennis, a great place for children to congregate in the evenings, leaving parents free to do some well earned wine tasting! The whole family can also relax and unwind by playing a game of traditional boules, badminton, volleyball or croquet on the estate lawns. This is an excellent holiday base from which to explore this beautiful region of the South West of France and Northern Spain.

There are many activities to enjoy in the area, from horse-riding, tennis, fishing, canoeing or simply soaking up the sun on the glorious Mediterranean beaches.

Being close to the sea you can find a wealth of mouthwatering fresh fish and shellfish (especially Bouzigues Oysters ) or visit the vibrant cafes, bars and open air restaurants of Pezenas playing jazz and live music long into the summer evenings.

We are happy to advise and help with wine selection and frequently organise visits to local vineyards where you can sample some of the most delicious regional reds, whites and roses.
