Superb villa with large swimming pool, views of vineyards and mountains

Wer Ruhe sucht, aber doch auf Distanz zum Meer sein möchte, wird diese Villa lieben: sauber, gepflegt und mit allem ausgestattet, was das Urlauber Herz begehrt. Jean-Paul und Lydia, die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Als Extra dazu bereicherten die drei ansässigen Hühner täglich unser Frühlstück mit frischen Eiern. Auch das Dorf Montpeyroux bietet alles, was man auf die Schnelle braucht und für alles andere liegt Gignac nicht weit. Wir haben 2 wunderschöne und erholsame Ferienwochen verbracht und können die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette belle maison très spacieuse. La location est très bien équipée et très bien située pour profiter de cette belle région à découvrir et redécouvrir ! Merci également à Lydia et Jean-Paul pour leur accueil.

We are a family of 5 who spent 3 weeks staying in this lovely villa in the heart of Languedoc. We were very impressed by all aspects - the villa was really nice, very convenient to the local village which has a great restaurant plus a boulangerie and a few shops for basic requirements etc. The pool was larger than is typical and in very good condition as indeed was the house which was bright, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. In addition, there were several shady areas at different points around the gardens for relaxing and reading plus a nice terrace table with the BBQ a few feet away which was great for outdoor dining. Our hosts were really charming and considerate. They gave us a very comprehensive briefing at the beginning of our stay and followed up with us to ensure everything was going fine. They were genuinely keen to ensure we had a good time and also provided brochures and recommendations on what to do, where to visit, suggestions for buying wine etc. The villa is on the fringe of a smallish village and is within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. The many attractions of the region are an easy drive from there so it was a well-located base for day-trips to the historical sites, to the wine cellars, Montpellier, the beaches, local markets etc. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

The villa is gorgeous, very comfortable and spacious. Air conditioning throughout which is perfect. It has everything you need; a lovely fully equipped kitchen, big American fridge/freezer. The pool is wonderful and a really good size and the same depth throughout. A quiet location overlooking the vineyards which you can see for miles. Very secure with your own locked gates into the driveway. There are many areas to sit in and relax outside around the pool, all with the ability to be in the shade (or not) depending on the heat. The wifi is good and works throughout the villa (perfect for teenage children!) It is a lovely 7 minute walk into the small town where there is a baker (opens 6.30am - 12/1 everyday), grocers store for fresh fruit and veg and a butcher. So everything you need without having to take the car out. There is also a lovely authentic French restaurant, La Terrasse du Mimosa, which you will need to book - (the menu is in French, and a lovely experience sitting in the town square). Lidl is a 20minute drive where you can get petrol, they close at 12.30 on a Sunday. Carrefour is about 40mins away. Many many vineyards and wine tastings within a 10 mile radius which are lots of fun. We visited the Grotte de Clamouse (excellent) and Carcassonne - about 1.5hour drive and well worth the visit. The owners Jean Paul and Lydia are absolutely lovely and speak fantastic English. They couldn't have been more accommodating in terms of arrival time (we drove from Scotland and they sent directions and route suggestions), departure time, information about the area and introductions to lovely private vineyard owners - Jo Lynch and Andre at Villa Dondona who we would also highly recommend visiting and tasting! They are 5 minutes up the road in Le Barry. Jean Paul and Lydia keep in contact by text and are happy to help. A practical point, Jean Paul and Lydia require a copy of your travel insurance policy (they call it a civil responsibility paper and it took some time (and a lot of laughs) to work out this was what they required) All in all a wonderful holiday, in a lovely villa in a beautiful part of the world with really lovely owners Jean Paul and Lydia - can't recommend it highly enough.
