The most charming, stylish château which is full of character, lovely art and enormous beds! There is a room for every mood, including a club (!) a billiards room and the most beautiful drawing room. The best equipped kitchen we have ever stayed in, a wonderful pool, tennis court, croquet, pétanque… it's impossible to be bored here! The house strikes the perfect balance between being impressive yet still a home. There are lots of different seating options for eating but we highly recommend dinner at the back of the house for the incredible sunsets. We couldn't have loved our stay more and had booked our return visit by day two!
Perfect for a family getaway. My wife, 4 yr old son, 1 yr old daughter and I rented Maison Ormeau for our half term holiday and it was just perfect. The location is nice and quiet but not too far away from shops and the pool area is brilliant. The owners have thought of everything as there are plenty of outdoor toys, games and pool stuff like lilos and water guns plus a really good gas BBQ and a lovely gazebo for those relaxing sunny evening drinks when the kids have gone to bed and while the sun goes down. Inside everything was clean and modern with really nice furniture and attention to detail. The kitchen is very well equipped and you have all you need for the family. I highly recommend renting this for your holiday - I know we'll be going back asap!
This house was an ideal location from which to base a two week holiday. It is located in a truly French village with little-or-no tourist trappings. It makes it easy to pick up the French habit of wandering out on each sun blessed morning to buy fresh bread and pastries. The house is excellently equipped and is a cooks' dream. The outdoor BBQ and pizza oven are fun and social, and close to the eating area. The kitchen has every gadget you could wish for. We travelled as two families of four and found the house very spacious. My son loved the gecko-spotting in the evenings, my daughter lived in the pool, the teenagers appreciated the speedy wi-fi, and the adults appreciated the great wine store just two doors away. The bookshelves are well stocked with travel information and popular books. The pool is cleaned daily and basks in sun for most of the day. I really appreciated beach towels being available with the house and not having to pack them or pay extra for the luxury. It's a 10 - 15 minutes drive to the beach and there are lots of tourist trails that are within reach - Narbonne, Canal du Midi, Carcassonne, water parks, the Yellow Train (into the Pyrenees), and lots of fortresses and castles. We had a wonderful holiday and the peace and space of this house helped that.
The house and the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Facilities were excellent. Fantastic holiday.
Our week came to a close to soon! What a peaceful setting! Such a rustic elegance! I found it hard to leave in the evening to dine out in the town because the sunset the patio and was so inviting to watch as the sunset into the hills beyond the meadow. Thank you very much Fabienne and Frederic for the wonderful welcome surprise of so many treats: wine, cheese, fraises, biscuits, bread and milk. you are so kind. I also appreciated the special touch of flowers in each bedroom and the dinning table. I have rented houses in several places in France, Europe, the US and I have not found any to have come close to being perfect as this house! We do hope to return some day!
Thank you for a wonderful holiday in your beautiful château. Every moment has been enjoyable and I am full of admiration for the way you have lovingly restored the house over 15 years, the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. It has certainly been a holiday to remember, in such a lovely setting and area of France.
First guests of the season! A beautiful home in a beautiful venue. Lovely time with a large group of friends to celebrate Frank's retirement. A perfect place to start life after work. Thank you for everything - much appreciated.
We were a mixed age party of ten people, with five children and five adults. The property provided plenty of comfortable living space for us all, and two of the rooms were air conditioned, which was especially welcome for our septuagenarian member, during some of the hotter days. The Lawrences, who own the property, could not have been more welcoming, and made us feel like family. Their rich military and Far Eastern history is immediately evident to the visitor, from the library to the withdrawing room. They have spared no expense: this really touches the senses visually and experientially. We awoke some days to sounds of wild boar foraging in their woodland, which meanders along the hillside for two kilometres to the South of the château. One morning we saw a russet doe grazing on the ancient olive terraces. Silence pervades, except for the 6 o'clock cannon that occasionally greets the ears from the village across the valley towards the Italian border. (Not loud enough to spill the preprandial...) The place welcomes fun and entertainment. A touch of Cannes adorns the Great Hall. There is even a drinks fridge; and a cheese fridge; a wonderful dining terrace with pleasing vistas towards the Italian Alps in the North, the villages in the East and the exodus of the river valley to the South. A wander one floor below the main living quarters will find a bar next to a barbeque, providing a great retreat for an evening drink. Children love to explore the many pathways and secret places here, and this ancient castle, sitting proud on Roman terraces and once owned by the Conte de Martini, displays its origins and later accretions subtly and cohesively.
A fabulous, beautiful château with all we could ever have needed. We all had a wonderful time and hope we can come back again.
We absolutely loved our time here. The owner was a joy to work with. The home was absolutely charming. It was located on a picturesque hill, featured spacious, comfortable rooms and every luxury one would need while there. The home was spotless upon our arrival and the neighbors on the street were extremely helpful, pleasant and welcoming. We enjoyed swimming in the crisp, cool pool; hearing the church bells ring and exploring the neighboring villages as we attending the daily farmer's markets. We cannot wait to come back and are considering an extended stay as we fell in love with the area and this home. I would highly recommend it if you would like to truly experience the people and feel of the region.
We came, we saw and yet again we were conquered! We will return! What a wonderful house and divine swimming pool. Many thanks to Leo, Christine and Constance - such welcoming hosts.
An excellent villa - with everything one could need including a good selection of herbs in the garden for those who enjoy cooking. Pézenas is a lovely place - lovely potteries (some going home with us) good restaurants and bars - spoilt for choice. Delight to discover that the description is perfect. All in all a 5 star holiday.
Many thanks for your kind and generous welcome and hospitality. We have had a fabulous week. You have a fabulous house and thank you for letting us share it.
Thank you for a wonderful stay at Le Mas Repenti! Such a beautiful and spacious villa, so elegantly decorated and well set up. The surrounding gardens are gorgeous with a lovely pool and stunning views. The villa was fantastic for children with swings in the garden and a playroom with lots of toys. We had a wonderful chef deliver delicious dinners for children and adults, which made a lovely stay even more relaxing. Alexandra also provided us with lots of wonderful information on the surrounding areas, including an amazing beach recommendation and a fantastic outdoor climbing place for the children. All in all it was the most fantastic stay and we cannot wait to return!
A fantastic property which is very well equipped... The pool and games room are excellent and very well maintained... We have been staying in France for a number of years and this has been the best of a very good bunch!
This was our fourth stay in a villa in Languedoc, Occitanie… we all agreed that this was the best villa and location.
A fabulous and relaxing week - it's so quiet and empty here and even in late August. It was hot and sunny enough for sunbathing and swimming. Our top recommendation would be Tourbieres the cabin restaurant near Vendor - just turn right at Gurat. Merci et a bientôt!
We have just spent a lovely week in this beautiful house. Wonderful scenery, delicious food and lots of fun. Thank You!
As part of a seven person group, we had to choose between various châteaux and Villas. The Villa was the winner and we weren't disappointed. The villa is stunning and the location are just incredible. We had nice trip to Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux. The location is great and wine also.
Rosa, 8 years old This is a beautiful house and we wish to come back very soon. The children's bedroom is amazing. The pool is amazing. I will recommend the tree top climbing place in Sainte Colombe. The pétanque pitch is amazing and so is the game. It is an extraordinary place and we recommend the house to everyone. The parents We have had a wonderful week at Mounicat. Frederic has been brilliant, warm welcome and always happy to help with any request. We enjoyed the night market and the tree-top experience 5 minutes away was a great way to get out of the sun and do something fun. But most of all we have loved the fantastic pool and the beautiful house. Everything has been done to the highest standard and the house is very well equipped with everything you need. A beautiful house and a great week!
What an amazing place - superb house and facilities - everything and everyone catered for. It has all been said before and we totally agree with all previous comments. Great time had by all - will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful week in Provence. Your house is lovely, the view is beautiful and the weather was perfect. We loved discovering the small and charming towns perched on the hilltops - Faience, Mons and Bargemon. Thank you for sharing your house.
You have created a very special place not only for yourselves but others to share: It's an oasis of peace and relaxation in an increasingly demanding and noisy world. Thank you for your discreet and friendly hospitality. We hope to see you again soon.
We have had an amazing time in this wonderful house. We even had a home for our much loved cars. Many thanks to Mike and Natalie for looking after us so well. I am sure we will return!
We've stayed at this house many times and have always enjoyed its rustic charms and comfortable surroundings. It is roomy enough to accommodate plenty of family members and guests and it never feels crowded. The pool and outside areas are perfect retreats to relax and unwind in and the tennis court is of a good club standard so there are no excuses not to get active. For family meals the outside terrace is super and for more formal occasions there are numerous quality restaurants nearby. Location is excellent. A good selection of village shops are just a short drive or cycle ride away on the peaceful tracks.
Our group of four couples had a wonderful week here. Bedrooms are luxurious, bathrooms have beautiful finishes, kitchen is big and stocked with everything you need, and wonderful outdoor kitchen and dining table by pool. The landscaped backyard reminded us of a Monet painting. Fabulous location to all the hill towns and cities in Provence. Christine and Ruud have thought of everything. We can't wait to come back.
Thank you for having the four N.Z's to stay in your gorgeous house. Enjoyed the walks and had delicious meals cooked by E.
We loved your house, inside and outside. You have provided everything we needed - and more! We have had a most relaxing week. Thank you!
