Guests arriving at this lovely farmhouse set against an idyllic backdrop of vineyards will be in no doubt that they have arrived in the south of France. Traditional shutters and an enchanting courtyard, dotted with seating and eating locations, are all surrounded by mature shrubs, fragrant flowers and a pretty fountain. What a debut!

The large saltwater infinity pool heated by solar panels will clearly be a big hit with visitors who wish to relax on the sun terrace taking in views of vines, hills and sunsets.

If you are looking for a different holiday experience, Le Manoir provides opportunities for retreats, having its own dedicated yoga platform, many quiet corners for painting or writing and a piano in the lounge cum music room.

This house and gites offer a unique blend of classic French and contemporary features with several spacious living areas to accommodate gatherings of all kinds. The large well equipped kitchen is great for preparing family and friend feasts to be enjoyed in the more formal dining room or al fresco. For a special celebration, owner Barbara can arrange for outside caterers to come in and do it all for you. The lounge has plenty of comfy seating for everyone to sit around with a favourite tipple watching a film or simply having a chat. A floor to ceiling wood stove takes the chill off on less ambient evenings and means that this special property can be appreciated at any time of year.

2 bedrooms are downstairs, along with the independent self contained music room studio. The marble staircase leads to 2 individually designed and beautifully decorated French bedrooms. Most have en suite facilities. The configuration makes the property an excellent choice for those requiring space and privacy.

The nearest village Villeneuvette can be accessed through the woods in just 5 minutes. Visitors may soak up the Napoleonic history of this delightful place sitting at the restaurant or bar, taking advantage of the vast array of local produce sold at the weekly Bio market. Clermont l’Herault is 5 minutes drive and the beach at Meze 30.
