Le Caveau spacious vintage vineyard villa at DOMAINE SAINT FERREOL

The whole property and surrounding grounds are immaculately cared for by the charming owners. The website photos gave an idea of the buildings, the gardens and the wonderfully sited pool, but the reality offers so much more. It was a truly memorable week's holiday.

We enjoyed 12 relaxing days in southern France at St. Ferreol. The accommodations were comfortable, very spacious and included a well stocked kitchen, linens (even a pool towel) and a great lending library. On our terrace, we were able to dine al-fresco many times at lunch or dinner in the warm spring sunshine. Our teenagers especially liked the large trampoline, swimming pool and playing with the owners‘ dog, Pasha. We even had the treat to see on-site wine bottling while we were there, and of course enjoy a few bottles of their delicious Viognier wine. There are many attractions to see from St. Ferreol and most within 20 – 45 minutes‘ drive: French markets, quaint towns (Pezanas, Meze, Marsiallian ville just to name a few), wonderfully sandy beaches, canoeing on the Herault river at St. Guilhem de Desert, the modern aquarium in Montpellier, the Canal du Midi UNESCO World Heritage site at Beziers, Carcassonne with its medieval citadel and much more. The attractions were complemented wonderfully by the many delicious restaurants in this area. The whole family especially enjoyed the local „Moules et frites“. And most of all we enjoyed the owners‘ warm hospitality. Thank you Ania and Jorje for helping to make our holiday so enjoyable! Wir verbrachten 12 erholsame Tage in St.Férreol. In der grosszügige Wohnung mit der kompletten Küche fühlten wir uns sehr schnell wie zu Hause. Auf der Terrasse konnten wir manches Mittag- oder Abendessen geniessen, da hier im Frühling bereits sehr angenehme Temperaturen herrschten. Unsere Teenage-Kinder genossen insbesondere das sehr grosse Trampolin, den schönen Swimmingpool (welcher bereits warm genug zum Schwimmen war) sowie das Spielen mit dem Hund, Pasha. Wir hatten in diesen Ferien sogar das Glück, dass wir das Abfüllen des Weines von St. Féreol hautnah miterleben konnten. In der Umgebung gibt es in einer Distanz von 20-45 Minuten Autofahrzeit eine Vielzahl von Sehenswürdigkeiten, typische südfranzösische Städte, wunderschöne, weisse Sandstrände, die weltberühmten sieben Schleusen von Beziers, das moderne Aquarium in Montpellier, die mittelalterliche Festungsanlage von Carcassonne und noch vieles mehr. Dies wird durch die vielen, ausgezeichneten Fischrestaurants auch kulinarisch perfekt ergänzt. Die ganze Familie liebte auch die sehr schmackhaften „Moules et frites“. Im Speziellen erfreuten wir uns an der Gastfreundschaft der Besitzer. Vielen Dank an Ania und Jorje, welche unseren Aufenthalt sehr angenehm machten.

This is the first time we have been a holiday property more than once, and that is because Domaine St Ferreol is the perfect place for a peaceful, relaxing, comfortable stay. We stayed in a 3 bed property where the rooms are very spacious, the kitchen well - equipped and the living space enormous. It is cleverly laid out that all properties have a small private outdoor area, and then everyone shares the estate grounds. This means that children can meet and play together without you worrying where they might get too. The swimming pool is excellent. There are masses of things to do in the area, it is only about 20 mins drive south to get to the Mediterranean, and 30 mins north to hills, rivers (canoeing and swimming), medieval villages and beautiful towns. We have spent 3 weeks here in total and still there is more to explore. Jorje and Ania are perfect hosts, and their wine-tasting evening is not to be missed.
