Lovely place to stay with friends
A lovely place to stay and catch up with friends. It’s a 5 minute walk into town with 3 restaurants and a little shop that stocks a wide variety of food and drink. There are some nice walks locally and the pool is great to cool off in. There are plenty of living areas and a bbq. Beziers is 20 minutes away with markets and plenty more shopping options. We really enjoyed out time there.

Fabulous Holiday
A wonderful house in a lovely village. Amazing views and grounds, relaxing location, pool was great, air-conditioning very welcome. Superb, friendly restaurant in the village (la tour sarassine) and very good location for exploring from. Kids and dog loved it too. Grainne made it a very simple process, very communicative. Only downside was the mosquitos!

Wonderful family holiday
The villa was perfect for our family. Well positioned to sightsee in the area and with great quality local restaurants in the small village it allowed us freedom to eat out without anyone having to drive. The pool was a wonderful size and a great temperature, it was a godsend with the very high temperatures we had whilst there. The view is beautiful and the surroundings quiet, just what we like. The gardens and outside areas are kept beautifully. The villa is well equipped and spacious, clean and well kept, We can't fault it. The air conditioning worked well and was needed as it was 42 degrees some days we were there. The property manager was extremely courteous and helpful as were the owners. We wholeheartedly recommend this place and would definitely book again.

Peaceful villa by the Canal Du Midi in beautiful village of Poilhes
Functional house with great pool, large garden with beautiful views and view over the Canal Du Midi. Charming and peaceful summarizes our week stay. ~7 minutes drive to medieval city of Capestan and supermarkets. A drive away from so many Occitanie’s historical wonders. Plenty of opportunities for bicycling around a great country side and things to see. A lovely and delicious French cuisine restaurant called La Tour Sarrasine in the heart of Poilhes only a walk away, by the canal. A few things to be prepared for: with the canal near by use the citronella candles and mostiquo products provided in the house for outdoor dining in the evening. And the wifi was spotty every now and then. Sarah was very helpful in problem solving and answering our questions. All in all a lovely week. Thank you.

Séjour à Poilhes
Cette location mérite le détour. La maison est très agréable, belle terrasse sur une très belle vue dégagée. On voit jusqu’à l’observatoire de Narbonne. La piscine est propre et chaude. Le jardin très bien entretenu est immense. Sarah qui s’occupe de la location est toujours disponible et à l’écoute. Nous sommes arrivés un dimanche soir et nous avons trouvé dans le réfrigérateur de quoi nous restaurer et aussi de quoi déguster des vins de la région, très sympathique attention. La location est très calme et reposante. Nous reviendrons merci Grainne.

Wonderful property in beautiful area
We had a fantastic stay in Grainne's villa. Comfortable, well equipped with a gorgeous pool and garden. The generous welcome pack made a huge positive first impression and we felt very fortunate to be in such a beautiful setting. Poilhes is very cute, with some great restaurants and nearby Capestang has everything you need, including some wonderful wine from Moulin Gimie. The location is great for beaches and inland visits. There is so much to see and do within a short drive. Thanks also to Sarah and Julie for looking after us, and the property, so well.

Choose the Languedoc area due to the understated richness of this area for nature,national parks and activities.Love the fact that you can be hiking in the national park or relaxing on the beach ,within 25 minutes travel from Poilhes.It was important for us to choose a village where we could integrate fully and we have made wonderful friends and neighbours during our time in Poilhes.
