Formerly a grand wine-makers house, Villa Vigneronne has been beautifully restored to create a fine family home in this delightful Languedoc village surrounded by vineyards.

The historic façade will immediately impress as you arrive in the village setting. As soon as you walk in you will appreciate the warm and homely ambience of this characterful residence full of traditional features yet thoughtfully styled with modern comfort in mind.  Five bedrooms over three floors offer space for family or friends, including a marvellous master bedroom with its original fireplace and doors leading out to a wonderfully sunny terrace.

The spacious living-dining room is a perfect place to gather by the fireplace or watch a game of pool whilst large sliding doors lead straight out to the covered veranda, luscious gardens and dazzling swimming pool.  Spend long summery afternoons lazing on the sun-loungers before cooling off in the inviting pool then preparing a barbecue for a leisurely evening feasting on the terrace with loved ones.

It’s only a couple of minutes stroll to the local bakery to pick up croissants and fresh bread for breakfast to be served with freshly brewed coffee on your return and in the evening you can wander out to a local restaurant after a sundowner on the terrace.  On a Saturday morning pick up some wonderful local produce at the colourful market in nearby Pézenas (9km) before exploring the historic town with its charming art galleries and antique shops.

You may prefer to head down to the coast to explore the long sandy beaches within half an hour or sample some amazing seafood in nearby Mèze. Golf-lovers note there are some wonderful courses across the Languedoc, including Golf Saint Thomas in under 10km whilst cyclists and hikers can enjoy trails through the idyllic Hérault landscapes of olive groves and vineyards. Indeed, surrounded by wine-making villages, there is a wealth of wineries to discover and some fine local wines to sample.

Those looking for adventure can try watersports along the coast or head further inland to the rugged hills whilst some of France’s most impressive sights can be easily visited in a day including Carcassonne and the Roman aqueduct and Pont du Gard. That said, you may prefer to just switch off and enjoy local village life from your enchanting holiday home.
