About this house rental

5 star rated!! With NEW A/C installed for each bedroom!!
Welcome to our traditional mid-19th Century former winemakers' village house that has been fully renovated, yet preserving all the beautiful historic features. You will have ample space to spread out and unwind amongst 3 living floors with 154 m2 of space. It is a stone built home with very thick walls and, while beautifully renovated, we have kept many original features of the home from the mid-1800's, including the ornate wooden front door, wooden beams along the ceilings, natural wood interior doors, granite circular stair case, marble fireplace, tiles in the bedrooms and entry hall, as well as wooden windows and shutters. We have 3 bedrooms for six people total (with additional sofa bed possible for 2 more), 2 1/2 bathrooms, patio off the kitchen, a gorgeous roof terrace with wonderful views of the surrounding hills (and astounding views of the stars at night), as well as a large garage (where the wine used to be made!). We are installing new A/C to provide cooling in all 3 bedrooms for the few days where the temperatures may rise in the Summer - these will help provide a wonderful night's rest in any weather!

LOCATION: The house is located near the centre of the picturesque village of Cessenon Sur Orb in the Orb valley, at the heart of the Languedoc region in Southern France. Walking distance to multiple french bakeries, a fully-equipped grocery store, restaurants and the wonderful Orb river which runs right through the middle of Cessenon Sur Orb and is a popular place to swim, fish, and canoe during the hot summer months.

POOL? Who needs one, when you are literally footsteps away from the Orb River, one of the most beautiful rivers for swimming, canoeing and kayaking in the area. Canoes/kayaks available for rent just down the road.

BIKES! Absolutely gorgeous roads and scenic areas for biking - truly a bikers paradise. We have two bicycles available for rent by guests at a discount rate. They are hybrid bikes suitable for easy trail riding or on the road.

EASY ACCESS: Can fly into Paris and take TGV high speed train to Beziers (train tickets available for 25-35 euro if you book more than 60 days out via trainline. From Beziers can taxi, rent a car, or even take a local bus for 1.60 euro. Alternatively, can fly into any major European city and then fly directly to Montpellier or Beziers.

We had a wonderful 2 week stay . The weather was perfect and allowed us to explore the fabulous wild swimming opportunities close by . We also got to the beach and to Bezier. The house works really well for us , the location and the layout and the hosts could not have been more helpful and accommodating. It is our second visit and we hope to return .

We enjoyed our stay in this traditional house. It had plenty of space. The terrace was great for a bbq. The hosts replied promply to queries and neighbours were friendly. The town was well placed for visiting tourist spots and for walks in the hills and along the Orb. The butcher and boulangeries were great. The local bar was very popular. The property is highly recommended.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2021
Nice house in the village with plenty of room and amneties. Living room and kitchen very spacious. A good place to discover the region with Kayaking, Bike riding all at hand. The kids could walk to river in the village entrance. Plenty of other spots to discover for those that want to swim elsewhere. Bezier and the Beach 20 mins by car. The Saint Chinian wine was way too easy to drink. For those that love nature it is a wonderful choice. The hosts are very kind and responsive. The olnly negative is that this area gets very hot in August and although we had fans, I would have killed for some real AC. However I am from Florida and am just not used to being without it. Highly recommended!
