Description
Pezenas-Languedoc Holiday Villa Rental, with 22 5-Star TripAdvisor Reviews.
LES VIGNES ANCIENNES is a modern, spacious, architect designed villa, which is our home for most of the year, but which we let to considerate guests during mid summer.
We have 3 air conditioned bedrooms, one with its own private roof terrace and views. With the reduction of one bed, the twin bedded third bedroom can easily be converted to provide a spacious workspace. (It becomes a study/bedroom).
There is an 8m x 4m private, very low chlorine, salt water pool with a new secluded area for sitting out, shaded by a lush plane tree. Beyond this there is a small, sloping, flower garden.
Near the house, we have a shaded patio for alfresco dining.
The comfortable living room has a high ceiling, large open fireplace and a balcony feature. There is a 55 inch smart TV, which can receive UK satellite and French channels, and a blu-ray player. Many DVDs and books are available for guests' use. Free Wi-Fi is available and our English speaking house manager is on hand for any help or questions during your stay.
The villa is in an elevated position on the edge of a quiet residential area, looking towards open country; a large local supermarket is within 3 minutes walk. We are within an easy 15 minute walk of Pézenas's historic town centre, which has all you need in terms of shops, street cafes and restaurants. For your first night, perhaps, there is also a good restaurant within 7 minutes walk. For ball games, tennis and other leisure pursuits, a local park is just 3 minutes walk away and a selection of spacious, sandy Mediterranean beaches are within a short drive (eg Vias Plage 18 km, Marseillan Plage 24 km, Cap d'Agde, 25 km).
Béziers airport is just 20 minutes drive away, with flights from Luton, Stansted, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, Oslo, Dusseldorf and Paris. Montpellier airport (45 minutes) has daily flights to Gatwick and Saturday flights to Luton as well as many European airports. Both airports are accessible by public transport. Other nearby airports with flights to the UK and Europe are Carcassonne, Nimes, Perpignan and Girona (Spain).
With its excellent location, the villa has quick access to the A 9 and A 75 autoroutes, providing fast links to the many attractions abounding in the Languedoc-Roussillon (Occitanie) and Cévennes areas. Indeed the villa is very easy to find, being about 1km from the A 75 autoroute (toll-free from Clermont-Ferrand, except for the spectacular Millau Viaduct).
Pézenas is described in the Rough Guide as one of the most singularly beautiful towns in the French Southwest. It has a huge Saturday market and there are numerous events staged in the town during an extended season. The old town has a historic buildings trail and a wonderful selection of artisan shops. On two nights of the week in July and August the shops are open until midnight and local wine growers bring their produce to town for you to taste. A little further afield are the city of Montpellier and the ancient fortress of Carcassonne, to mention just a couple of interesting places to visit.
The pool is normally open between 15 May and 30 September (can be made available earlier or later on request; an additional charge may apply).

“A great, well equipped villa”
This is a great rental property for a family or group. We found it extremely well equipped and very spacious & comfortable. It is a short walk into Pezenas, close to a supermarket and main route… More

Response from the owner Thanks so much for writing about your experience at our villa; we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the location, you may be interested to know that back in 2002, we had the villa designed for, and then built, on a plot of land that we had just purchased. We were so pleased to find a plot in such a quiet but convenient spot for local shopping as well as being within easy walking distance of the town centre. Locating the pool in front, we were also able to design the villa to take advantage of it’s open, south-westerly aspect. You also mentioned that the villa is comfortable and extremely well equipped. This must be because it’s our own home for a large part of the year, so, over time, we have tried to make the villa as nice as possible for us to live in; it’s not just a holiday home! Thanks again for sparing the time to write a review, we hope that you will come back and visit again soon.

“Perfect location and fantastic house!”
The villa is situated in a great location - close enough to walk into town for restaurants and markets but on the edge so there were views of the countryside and a bit elevated so if there was any breeze we caught it! We were very grateful for that as it was 37/38 degrees and very hot while we were there! For that reason we also really appreciated the pool which was big enough to swim properly! The air con in the bedrooms were useful at night too! The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed and more!

Response from the owner Thank you so much for writing a review about Les Vignes Anciennes; it’s always good to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay at our villa. We’re pleased that you mentioned the house being very well equipped; this is a spinoff from the fact that we stay in the villa ourselves for 5 months each year and have furnished the villa and equipped the kitchen to give us a nice level of comfort. We are only too pleased to let our guests share this benefit. We are pleased too that you appreciated the pool to cool off in the very hot weather that seems to have been the norm this summer and that you found the bedroom air conditioning helpful in these temperatures. Many thanks again for finding the time to write a review. You and/or any of your friends would, of course, be very welcome to visit Les Vignes Anciennes again at some time in the future.

We had such a fabulous holiday here last year that we returned for 2 weeks this summer. Our girls (13 & 15) said at end of the holiday that they weren't ready to go home, could we come back… More

Response from the owner Thank so much for writing such a generous review of our villa and for providing so much information on the restaurants and places of interest that you have visited. As a returning guest, we are pleased that you and your girls enjoyed this visit even more than your holiday at Les Vignes Anciennes last year. We appreciated your comments on the pool; we also think that the softness of the salt water and very low levels of chlorine do make swimming in a pool with a salt water system even more enjoyable. You and your family would, of course, be very welcome to return to Les Vignes Anciennes at some time in the future. Gill and Richard

Response from the owner Thank you so much for sparing the time to write a review about your stay at our villa, Les Vignes Anciennes in Pézenas. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and found the recently installed air conditioning so useful for sleeping; it sounds as though it was a really worthwhile investment! We also appreciated your comments about choosing our villa due its proximity to the centre of Pézenas; there are lots of properties listed as being in Pezenas that are actually many miles away! Many thanks for choosing to stay at our villa in 2017, you would be very welcome to come back at some time in the future. Richard and Gill Moore

“Gorgeous villa”
We had such a great holiday staying at this lovely property. Villa is spacious, very clean and very comfortable. Our two girls (12 & 14) were delighted to have a bed room each. Large sofas and comfy chairs in living space. A very well equipped kitchen. The pool is great, we used it a lot. Supermarket is very close, and is well stocked. We often got our bread from here in the mornings. Good selection of wine too. Pezenas town Center about 20 mins away on foot. We walked in once or twice a day. The town is lovely, with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Tour de France passed through the town during our visit. Just 10 min walk from the villa. That was quite exciting. We also enjoyed the Bastille Day fireworks. There was a great holiday atmosphere in Pezenas on those days. The Saturday market is amazing. Richard, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with. So friendly and helpful. As were everybody we came in contact with, Maria, her husband and the cleaners we met as we were leaving. Everybody was so nice. All 4 of us would love to return, and would recommend it highly.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for sparing the time to write such a detailed review; we are very pleased that you and your family had a great holiday at our villa. We were interested to hear about your frequent walks into Pezenas town centre; we find it a great advantage to be able to walk there, and to be able to walk back again after visiting bars and restaurants! Thank you for your kind comments about our brilliant local team; we will pass these onto Marie, our house manager. You and your family would, of course, be very welcome to return to Les Vignes Anciennes at some time in the future.

Response from the owner Thank you very much for your very positive and generous review. It was particularly rewarding for us to hear that you found our villa the best one that you have ever stayed in (in France). You may be aware that we ourselves spend many off-season months of the year in Les Vignes Anciennes, and over the years have tried to make our home in France as comfortable for us as possible. This includes convenience in the kitchen and this is why you found the kitchen so well equipped. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay; you would be very welcome to return to Les Vignes Anciennes whenever you might be thinking of revisiting the Languedoc at some time in the future.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for writing a review about Les Vignes Anciennes; it’s always good to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay at our villa. We’re pleased that you mentioned the kitchen being very well equipped and this is a spinoff from the fact that we stay in the villa ourselves for 5 months each year and over the course of time have built up quite an array of tools and gadgets (Gill is a bit of a cook too!). We are only too pleased to let our guests share this benefit. We are pleased too that you made good use of the pool to cool off in the very hot weather that seems to have been the norm so far this summer. The average maximum temperature in mid summer is 27- 28º, so we haven’t really thought that air conditioning would be justifiable, especially to cool our salon with such a high ceiling. We hope that opening the doors from the roof terrace to the minstrels gallery, as we call it, gave a bit of extra ventilation when needed. Many thanks again for finding the time to write a review. You and/or any of your friends would, of course, be very welcome to visit Les Vignes Anciennes again at any time in the future.
