Description from owner
Description
Clos du Magnolia is situated in a charming, picturesque village less than 20 kms north of Beziers in southern France. Nestled at the foothills of Haut Languedoc Naturel Parc, it's a gateway to fantastic walking and cycling routes, several good golf courses or kayaking on the River Orb. There's also a choice of superb, sandy Mediterranean beaches within a 30 minute drive.
The gîte is named after the evergreen tree, Magnolia Grandiflora, which sits in the middle of the garden providing shade, privacy, fragrance and beauty. The full length window of the gîte front door looks out on this magnificent tree under which is a large table for al fresco dining or apero. The gîte is part of an old vignerons house built in early 20th century. It has been fully renovated and, while retaining the characteristics of a traditional French home, it contains modern facilities for a relaxing holiday. There is a lovely 9m x 3m unchlorinated swimming pool available too.
We have secure parking for bicycles, motorbikes or kayaks and can give advice on good routes and places to find. Besides the range of outdoor activities, this area is one of France's largest wine-growing areas so there are many opportunities to sample local wines. And naturally, being in France, there's a great variety of restaurants and cafe's as well as local markets to visit.
The gîte is self-catering, however, we can also provide a 3 or 4-course French cuisine meal, cooked for you and any guests on request. Many of our guests enjoy having a night off cooking and relaxing in the garden while the work is done for them! Prices depend on the menu selected.
The village has a bar/restaurant and a 'depot de pain' for the daily baguette. However, to get the most out of discovering this area it is advisable to have a car or motorbike.
We are in a wonderful climate with 300 days of sunshine per year, which means you can have great weather for walking, cycling or golf even in winter. This really is a fantastic year-round destination.

“Amazing Location”
This was the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday I have taken. The property is stunning with a large pool and BBQ area as well as hosts Jane and Merv who make you feel right at home.

“A great little apartment with lovely hosts and a nice pool.”
We had a very relaxing albeit boiling hot week at Clos du Magnolia. Jane and Merv are lovely hosts who are available at all times for help or information but are not intrusive on your stay at all. It was exceptionally hot whilst we were there - 38 degrees most days with hot nights and sleeping was difficult without air con though. All rooms have ceiling fans though which helped cool us a bit. I must just add that the temperatures were extreme even for the south of France! The grounds outside include a gravel area with the table and chairs under the magnificent Magnolia tree and a vegetable garden. This area is reserved for those in the gite. The rest of the grounds are shared with the Chambre D'Hote guests including the pool and the loungers. So I would say you have your own area rather than a private area which wasn't a problem for us as we enjoyed watching the comings and goings! The pool was a godsend given the heat and we had it mostly to ourselves but again I can see at busier times with other guests wanting to use it a lot it could get a bit busy. The location of the apartment was ideal for the area - just a short drive to Beziers and the Med coast but you had the peace and tranquility of the hills and villages inland. It is in the middle of the village adjacent the main road through so you will get some traffic noise during the day but in the evenings and nights it was very quiet. Merv is a cyclist and can give you no end of advice on routes in the nearby area. If that's your thing then this area is a must - even though I had to get up at 7am to beat the heat - the routes in the local area are definitively cycling nirvana - no traffic and stunning views! All in all we had a great week - it was just a shame it was too hot to do much exploring. Jane is a great cook by the way and if you fancy a night off the cooking duties I can highly recommend her!
