About this house rental
Welcome to L'Oasis in Lespignan! This house has to be seen to be believed. It sleeps up to 9 adults in four bedrooms (+ one foldaway bed and baby cot), and is in the heart of lovely, traditional Languedoc village, 100m from restaurants and shops, just 10 minutes from closest beach. Peaceful but near the action. Just 15 mins from Beziers Airport (new Ryanair route!) and others Ryanair airports Montpellier, Carcassonne, and Perpignan. Minutes fro main autoroute. Before the highly original conversion, local winemakers deposited their grapes and stored wine here. One of the wine vats ('cuves') has been opened to make a large and spacious bathroom. The courtyard hosts a Mediterranean garden with private swimming pool, aBBQ and dining area. The interior is fascinating. On three levels, original beams and stone sinks lie in situ with bleached and stained floorboards, paint-washed walls in Mediterranean colours, further flagstone and terracotta floors with glass-blocks in both walls and ceiling. Free wifi. Great for groups!

We have just returned from an idyllic stay in this beautiful house in the middle of a lovely French village. We were 6 adults - 3 couples - and the house was more than big enough to accomodate us all with ease. It is charmingly furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and plenty of seating inside and out. The pool is big enough to cool off and have a short swim and if you bring a lilo like we did then there is extra sunbathing space! Sitting outside in the garden and hearing the sounds of the village around us was a great pleasure but it was quiet enough to sleep - even though the village was 'en fete' when we there and had a fair and bands playing - enormous candy floss and dodgems!
There are 2 boulangeries within 5 minutes walk and the Spar had nearly everything we needed - if not the Casino supermarket was 10 minutes drive away. Great greengrocer and very helpful Pharmacy as well.
Our favourite beach was Valras Plage which is pretty and fairly uncrowded but has restaurants and shops as well - this was a 20 minute drive away and there were other beaches not much further. Beziers itself was very lovely with lots of Cathar history.
Jennifer was extremely helpful throughout our stay.
All in all if you want a lovely lazy holiday in a proper French village then I cannot recommend this house highly enough - we were very sad to come home.

Right from the initial point of contact Jennifer couldn't be more helpful. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome gift and a bottle of wine. Everywhere was clean and tidy and just lovely.
The rooms are all a good size and the pool is just a God send on hot sunny days.
There were 8 of us and we had plenty of space.
The kitchen had everything we needed, the oven is a bit fierce so would suggest cooking everything at a lower temperature.
We stayed for 2 weeks and Jennifer was the other end of the phone if we needed anything. I personally can't recommend this place enough and would love to go back again, well to be honest we didn't want to leave.
Thank you for letting us borrow your home and for everything along the way.

The listing was as advertised. It's rustic charm gives the feeling of more than a place for a holiday; a feeling of coming home. Sunny days under a palm tree by a lovely clean pool and an easy to operate barbecue. The owner was charming and even purchased extra outdoor chairs when we said there would be guests for a barbecue. She is certainly someone willing to go the extra distance for her guests. The open plan kitchen/dining area is very convenient. With comfortable bedrooms on both floors there is plenty of privacy. The rustic feeling gives an idea of what the village might have been like a century ago, but with modern conveniences. It was altogether the happiest of times and I look forward to a return stay.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2011
The living room is absolutely lovely with plenty of room for the seven of us and the kitchen is generously equipped. The bedrooms are beautifully set out and those downstairs are dark, spacious and cool. The upstairs bedroom is sunny and low-ceilinged. The garden is a courtyard with chairs, barbecue, two sun loungers and an excellent dining table and although charming, we found it disappointingly small for the seven of us. It is a compact, shady space laid with pebbles making sunbathing difficult. Some of us lay towels on the narrow planks surrounding the small pool and balanced precariously. If, like us, you like to lounge around outside reading and basking then perhaps this is not the house for you but it is the perfect base for exploring the local beaches, towns and tourist resorts
