Holiday apartment in the Languedoc with shared pool & garden

Introduction

In the heart of the historic town of Pézenas a former 18th century convent has been tastefully converted into four holiday apartments for weekly rentals.

As you walk through the walled garden the magnificent stone building that greets you gives no hint of what lies within its walls. Pass through the gracious arched, French windows and you’re met by spacious, open plan salons, light and airy and furnished comfortably, with dining tables that seat 6-8, club chairs, leather sofas, and exquisite hand-crafted chandeliers.

Fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, etc, are neatly tucked into the corner.

The mezzanine provides a recluse with television, DVD player and radio, there is also a sofa-bed which turns it into an extra bedroom.

On the second floor there are two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. They enjoy garden views and adding to their attraction are antique furnishings and large marble fireplaces. With their subtle and unique decors these bedrooms provide a restful atmosphere.

The apartment opens onto a private sunny terrace featuring a garden table and chairs for outdoor dining. Large, Mediterranean garden with palm trees and mature plants and a wood-fence protected swimming pool. The 9 x 6m pool is cleaned by oxygen active elements which eliminate the need for chlorine, and is equipped with a jet stream for the delights of children and teenagers.

The apartment is attractive to families as well as groups of friends seeking to enjoy a holiday together all the while having separate accommodations.

A Wi-Fi network and beach towels are available.

Ideally located, it's a gentle 2 minute stroll from the peaceful environs of the property to the centre of vibrant Pézenas 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.
