La Calade: Villa in the shade of oak trees

A short distance from rafting, parasailing, and more, this pet-friendly villa lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Montpellier Zoo or the 6-minute drive to Domaine d'O (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 2368-sq-ft villa, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill, air conditioning, and local meal delivery service. Bathroom amenities include toilet paper and soap. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
