Description from owner

Description

L’Olivier is a light-filled village house which has recently been modernised to provide welcoming spaces inside and out and has a 4* official classifcation. There remain exposed beams and quirky details. Unusually for a village house we have two lovely outside spaces; a large south facing terrace with dining table and great views and a sunny but more protected courtyard, in which lives our "Olivier", a BBQ and another dining area.

The accommodation comprises two bedrooms, one with a 160 x 200cm king and the other with two 90x200cm singles, which can be configured several ways, including the creation of another king. Both are south facing to the rear and have views to the distant hills. There is a modern shower room/WC adjacent to the bedrooms. There is also a convertible sofa-bed on the landing for occasional use

The kitchen/living/dining area is open plan, has a very fully equipped kitchen with hob, oven, freezer, dishwasher, microwave etc. The dining table seats six and there is a wood-burning stove for the late Autumn/early Spring evenings when nights can still be chilly. This light filled room opens onto the terrace, where there is a further dining table.

On the ground floor is a large garage/cave which is normally available to guests as long as pre-booked. There is also a laundry area with washing machine and tumble dryer. Outside is our courtyard with easy chairs, lounger, dining table and chairs as well as a gas BBQ.

Getting around

This is a rural village and a car pretty much is essential if you want to explore. We have a boulangerie, organic shop, Poste, two restaurants and a tapas bar, but for serious shopping there is a large Super U supermarket 3km away in Roujan. Fun shopping is in the beautiful town of Pézenas 12km to the South, which also has a great Saturday market (ditto Clermont l'Hérault on wednesday). Further afield trips to Montpellier, Aigues Mortes, Perpignan, Carcassone and the Pyrenees are easy day trips if you have a car. The area is fantastic for walking and cycling and the Viewranger App features many detailed walks and rides for the Hearult.

Interaction with guest

Either we, or our good friend Marie Helene, will be on hand. We may well also be in the village during your stay but are also happy to be contacted by phone wherever we are.

House rules

We think our house is ideal for couples looking for a tranquil oasis from which to enjoy and explore the Languedoc. Whilst we have indicated it is not suitable for kids this relates more to the sort of holidays people come to Neffies for rather than the specifics of the house, but bear in mind if you have small children there are stairs up from the street, to the bedrooms and down to the cave.
Please note that, as in many old houses, garage entry and exit requires care and use is at your risk.

Response from the owner Hello, So glad you enjoyed your stay with us and the wonderful countryside and towns near at hand, many thanks for your kind words. Re the garage I just wanted to say that it normally easily accomodates an Audi A6 estate, quite big, and we have also had guests with Mercedies SUV's using it without problems.
