Just returned from an incredible 3 weeks at this property. The location was idyllic surrounded by vines and nature. The house was spotless and had plenty of room for the family. It was well equipped with everything we needed. Great location to visit the area and within an easy drive of Bezzier Cap D’agde airport. The large supermarket a few minutes away made life very easy. Communication was excellent and instructions on checking in were clear. Richard and Shirley were fantastic with cleaning the pool 3 times a week and changing bedding and towels weekly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. All in all I would highly recommend a visit.

We stayed at the property in August (group of 10 friends in late 20s). It is is located in a great location. The nearest village, Coursan, is a 20-25 minute walk from the house and there are two large supermarkets in Coursan that have everything you need. There isn't anything to do in Coursan but the nearby town of Narbonne has lots to do and is very pretty. You can travel to Narbonne by bus or train but they do not run often. A taxi from the Narbonne train station to the house costs around 20 to 30 Euros. You can stay at the property without a car using the options mentioned above but it is definitely easier (and saves a lot of time) to have a car, which we did. The house itself is an old farmhouse. It is quite large so it's very spacious. The bedrooms are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. We cooked most nights we stayed there. There is no air conditioning but each bedroom has a fan and the windows have mosquito nets that can be drawn up and down. We were worried about the fact there was no air conditioning (the temperature reached 35 degrees when we were there) but it turned out to be absolutely fine with the fan and ability to leave the windows open. Given the house is in rural location bugs are to be expected but they weren't that bad in the evening. We sat outside every night and we did get bitten by mosquitos (despite spraying repellent on our bodies) but it was not overwhelming. The pool and pool area are great. The pool is a good size and there is lots of space around the pool to relax. There were enough deck chairs for all of us and there were padded covers for the deck chairs to make them more comfortable. The pool area also has lights so it can be lit up in the evening, which created a lovely atmosphere. As there are no neighbours you don't need to worry about making too much noise. There is also a table tennis table and a small pool table, which were great additions to the property. I corresponded with the owner, Philip, before our trip who was very helpful and responded quickly. A booklet was also issued to myself before our visit which contained a lot of detail regarding the property and surrounding area. It was very useful to have and made life much easier when staying at the property. Overall, this property would be great for any group. You can stay there without a car but it is certainly easier with a car.

This is a lovely house down a quite lane. The property is spacious and is the best equipped I have ever stayed in. Communication with the owner and the agents was easy and any questions were promptly dealt with. On arrival we were met by Julie who showed us around then left us to settle in. Mark came later in the week to clean and check the pool, both were helpful and were able to advise us on the area and most importantly the wine. It took us around 30 minutes to walk to the super u, or there is a spar in the town which is nearer, with an excellent butchers for the BBQ meat. The house is in an ideal location to visit different places. We had a short trip out to Barges 25 mins away and found an amazing restaurant in the village square, we returned that evening for dinner the food was superb and very reasonably priced. We had a lovely holiday and as the house is central we were able to visit places and then return for time in the pool. One thing, it would be nice to have a sun shade around the pool, it wasn’t too hot when we went but I think in August it might be too much for some, but you don’t necessarily want to sit by the house under the shade on your own. We would certainly return. Thank you so much for renting out your lovely home

Had a fantastic time spending two weeks in August at Domaine de Favette. Perfect if you are seeking somewhere to truly unwind in an authentic, spacious environment. Our party comprised of four adults and four young children. The house was more than big enough for us all. We enjoyed swimming in the large private pool and making use of both the fixed and the free-standing oil drum style bbq. The views over the vineyard are a treat to wake up to and we enjoying relaxing by them on an evening whilst barbecuing or playing ping pong. The property has everything you need and should you want to watch TV, the one in the lounge has been upgraded to a flat screen as opposed to the one in the pics. The location was great for exploring the area. Good local butchers at the SPAR in Coursan. He makes his own sausages and has a good selection of cuts. We also loved Les Halles in Narbonne - fun experience eating at Chez Bebelle!! Roquebrun - very pretty village with beach on a river; rented a boat and had delicious food at La Cave Saint-Martin. Gruissan - Enjoyed the seafood at Huitres et compagnie and both beaches. La Franqui - great beaches, great vibe. Terra vinea - wine cave. Good on a rainy day (we only had the one). We also got out to Carcassonne, Beziers, Seté and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Domaine de Favette as the perfect base to explore, relax or spend quality family time from. Mark and Julie were great, attentive and quick to support with any tips and advise.
