Holiday apartment in the Languedoc with shared pool & garden

Introduction

A 2 minute walk from the centre of renaissance Pezenas brings you to this wonderful domain of 'Les Ursulines', a former 18th century convent. The remarkable and painstaking renovation project has produced this beautiful 'Fontedicto' apartment (1 of only 4), which combines all modern conveniences while retaining many original features and the fantastic ambiance of the property.

A huge, enclosed Mediterranean garden with palm trees and mature plants features a swimming pool 9 x 6 x 1.6m. The pool has a state-of-the-art 'oxygene actif' UV cleansing system so there is no chlorine.

Superb interior design and decoration throughout, from the individually, hand-crafted door handles to the intricate iron-work galleries created by a famous local artist. All fixtures, fittings and appliances are brand new with a mixture of new and traditional period southern-French furnishings.

Comfortable accommodation to sleep up to 6 people, two large bedrooms both with ensuite bathroom and WC facilities. Further mezzanine 'bedroom / child's room' with double sofa bed and television.

Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine etc and doors to terrace with table and chairs and BBQ.

Ideally located, it's a gentle 2 minute stroll from the peaceful environs of the property to the centre of vibrant Pezenas with its charming pavement cafés and huge choice of traditional restaurants. Large range of wonderful summer cultural events including concerts, fetes and festivals.

The lovely, sandy Mediterranean beaches lie just 12 miles to the south. Beautiful surrounding countryside with almost endless Languedoc vineyards.

The 'Fontedicto' apartment is perfect for couples or families with children. Superb value for money in an unforgettable setting.
