Luxury Family Friendly Villa with Private Pool in Lespignan - Hérault, Languedoc Reviews

The villa sits neatly at the edge of an attractive French town. It has been beautifully restored - clearly a labour of love by the interested owners who have young children themselves. The kitchen/diner leads to a conservatory then outside to the pool and b.b.q. area. We were impressed by the large pool house containing table tennis and table football facilities. As well as our children we had with us our 2 grandchildren aged 4 and 1 and the toys, pool equipment and videos meant that no toys needed to be transported on this holiday.

There were excellent facilities available in Lespignan and in particular a bakery we visited daily, a butcher plus a local market. For the more major shopping we found the nearby Casino excellent.

Despite the fact that we were the easons's first visitors the weather was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The route from Calais contains an attractive section of the new A75 a considerable improvement over our earlier excursions to the mediterranean and we comfortably made the return trip in a day.

We intend to return to Lespignan and would thoroughly recommend the facilities at this villa to families particularly with young children; for sight seeing; for girls get-away. All will enjoy exploring the area and the local beaches.

this villa is well equipped with everything you could ask for,it was spotlessly clean when we arrived,with lovely bedrooms,bathrooms,kitchen etc which is all done to a very high standard,and in an ideal location for the beaches,shops but also very quiet.It has everything for children inc inflatables for the pool but also very safe for children.The sky tv and internet is a bonus too.

the pool is big and has a solar cover which keeps it warm and there are 6 loungers and the games room is excellent with a good size pool table,table tennis,table football and beer fridge.also had toilet and shower so ideal for by the pool.

The owner is very friendly and helpful and any problems we just called the management company who delt with them very quickly.

we would not hesitate to book this property again and would certainly recommend it to our friends.

its the best villa we have stayed in.

It was decided that our family would have a special holiday altogether - grandparents, two daughters and their families equalling six adults and 5 children aged 3.1/2 to 14 years. We agreed that the five bedrooms with 2 en suites together with extra showers and facilities would be ideal for the three families. This really surpassed our expectations and enabled us all to have a certain amount of privacy. The accommodation was superb in every way. The kitchen supplied more than adequate equipment for all our needs and the lounge was very relaxing with Sky TV a real bonus as we were able to see some of the Olympics. Facilities for the children were excellent with books, videos and toys (not that we needed to use them as the large swimming pool was the greatest attraction)! There were little pockets of shady areas around the house which was very welcoming as the temperatures were in the 30's.

As we had young children we did a lot of cooking and eating outside using the BBQ. There wasn't one piece of equipment missing even if you fancied adventurous cooking! Lots of cutlery, crockery etc so we could use the dishwasher and not be washing up all day.

The area was lovely within walking distance of a little village with convenient shopping and a boulangerie that was visited every day for our croissants. The pizzaria in the village was very welcoming and we had a couple of lovely meals there in the evening. There was also a really nice restaurant further into the village, Hostellerie Du Chateau, if something a bit special was needed.

The local beaches were superb and not too far to drive. Bezier is a lovely town, also Narbonne and Carcassonne with plenty of neighbouring vinyards to visit. A trip along the Canal du Midi is a must with plenty of restaurants along the way.

Altogether, the house, the surrounding areas and the beautiful weather made for a memorable holiday which was enjoyed by our three generations.

Would more than recommend the property and the area for young and a little older.

Hving been away last year to a great Villa nearer montpellier I never expected to be able to match it...it didn't..it surpassed it by far. The villa has everything you could think off and was beautifully decorated, maintained and positioned. Its near a village which was great for gettin the breakfast easily but location was great for beaches, bezier and the countryside. We were a large group of 6 adults and 6 children (all under 5) plenty of bathrooms and it was a great size, lots of space for the children to play, toys and inflatables for the pool provided. We liked the fact we could still work by checking emails through the wireless connection and the pool was cleaned half way through the stay. We even had great beach towels for the duration. As we had young children we did a lt of cooking and eating outside using the summer and indoor kitchin and BBQ. There wasn't one piece of equipment missing even if you fancied adventurous cooking! loads of cultlary,crockery etc so we could use the dishwasher and not be washing up all day.

I was relunctant to write te review as I dont actually want other people finding out about such a great villa! we will certainly be back!

The house is really nice, quiet, spacious (we were 8 with a child) and has all the necessary, if not more. The hosts are English and the clientele is mostly English speaking. We may be diverted at first by the contract probably in use in the United Kingdom, but that does not worry you. I think it was important to leave a notice in French. As far as we are concerned, everything went wonderfully well. The house was very clean, well prepared with sheets and towels, which is very nice when you have made a long trip. No additional costs either as it is regularly found. We took advantage of the non-chlorinated pool and larger than imagined in the photos. A shaded terrace allows you to have a drink and meals in summer.

We have been meaning to write this review for some time now but the fact we’re writing this six months later shows how memorable this holiday was to us. The villa is absolutely superb and has everything you need to be a real home from home, whilst at the same time making you feel quite special as you enjoy all it has to offer. Its location is ideal for exploring the diverse countryside around it but anyone lucky enough to stay here should definitely put plenty of time aside just to relax and enjoy the villa. We will certainly be returning and can’t wait to do so!
