About this property

Well equipped spacious villa with private pool between sea/mountains

The house was refurbished to a very high standard in 2016 and has been maintained and updated as needed. We have hosted many happy guests since then.

Having spent lots of frustrated self catering holidays wondering how to cook a meal for the family on one gas ring in a small frying pan with no utensils we have ensured you have everything you might need in our well equipped kitchen.

Tucked away in a quiet spot on the edge of the medieval circulade village of Murviel les Beziers, our spacious and comfortable holiday home puts you within easy reach of the sea, mountains or lakes, not to mention the surrounding vineyards. With four bedrooms (1 king, 2 double and 1 twin) and two stylish Italian shower rooms we can accommodate 8 guests (travel cot also available on request). The rooms all have reversible air units (AC in the summer and warm air in the winter) as well as a wood burning stove in the living area for out of summer season stays.

The living area is totally open plan. The fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove, electric fan oven, dishwasher, washing machine, high spec microwave and American style fridge freezer opens into the spacious vaulted ceiling living room and dining room. With ample seating, 50” smart TV, Blue Ray DVD player, cd/radio and of course WIFI internet connection.

Our large (10 meters x 5 meters) pool is surrounded by lounging areas and landscaped Mediterranean gardens. The outside living area has a toilet, shower and kitchen/living area with BBQ, hot/cold water, all important drinks fridge, and ample work surfaces which gives you the option to prepare your meals al fresco.

There is another BBQ by the main house kitchen, giving you lots of catering options.

A few minutes walk into the village center for bakeries (3 in all with one also being a cafe and restaurant ) butcher, bar / restaurants and pizzerias, hairdressers etc. A fresh fish/seafood van comes on Friday for your moules and oysters from the nearby Etang de Thau. Wednesdays there is a small market with charcuterie and fresh local produce. There is a large brand new Lidl supermarket in the village (with electric car charging facilities) which you can walk to or it is a further 2 minutes drive to a large Super U. Various other large supermarkets are within 10 minutes drive.

The local wine cooperative is a two minute walk away and the delightful wines can be purchased by the bottle or the liter! There are two further vineyards in the village offering tasting, and at least one in every village you drive through. It’s 15 minutes to the charming village of St Chinian, which gives it’s name to the regions DOP wines.

You can be at the beach in 25 minutes, swim in the river Orb in 5, or hire a Kayak in 15. There is a golf course in Beziers or Lamalu (15 minutes away) and of course exploring Beziers and Narbonne (where you can hire a boat for the day and poodle along the Canal de Midi, or browse the art galleries and antique shops in historical Pezenas. All less than 30 minutes away. For further exploring, Carcasonne is an absolute must. Take the back roads through some quaint French villages, and stop off for a wine tasting or two on the way!

Alternatively, kick back and just relax - there is plenty of room for everyone to find a quiet spot to read, snooze or whatever takes your fancy.

Great villa
Lovely villa. Big pool and had everything we needed including pool floats. Definitely would recommend a car. We used the bus. Very reliable but not frequent.

A relaxing stay
A very relaxing week's stay in a really lovely property. The house was very well equipped, facilities were great. The house is in a pleasant little village, 5 mins to any amenities one might need (gas station, supermarket, pharmacy etc). Recommend Carte Timbrée in the neighbouring village for nice meal out. Final point to make - the hosts / owners couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating with our last minute booking. Highly recommend!

Merveilleux séjour
La maison, la piscine, la vue, nous avons tout adoré. Le seule petit manque c'était le soleil sur la terasse. Il manqu'ait un parasol donc on a envoyer un message au proprietaire et quelque jours plus tards ils nous ont fourni un parasol. La communication avec les proprietaires était très bien et correct.

Fantastic House and Pool!
This region of France is absolutely stunning, we chose this house to use as a base to get to the coast as well other beautiful towns such as Carcassonne and Beziers. The house was well equipped and comfortable. The pool was absolutely perfect and we made full use of it for the 2 weeks we spent here. The owner Lesley couldn’t have been more helpful, and really quick to respond and answer any questions we had, as well as recommend some great places to visit. We loved our stay and would definitely come again.

Wonderful!
We (5 of us, mum, dad and 3 kids aged 9, 11 and 19) had the best two weeks holiday. Wonderful villa, the photo's don't do the property justice. The villa had everything that we needed, a really well equipped kitchen, perfect open plan layout and large airconditioned bedrooms. The shutters on all windows are brilliant and guarantee the best nights sleep. The huge pool was a massive hit for everyone. The property could easily cope with two families (8 people). The area is stunning, villa nestled in a small village (the local Lidl, 4 min drive, was very convenient as was the pharmacy opposite Lidl) surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, you have the perfect mix of a rural and urban feel. Locals are very friendly. Beach, Valras Plage, only 25 min drive away is touristy but still very nice, we visited multiple times. Kayaking down the Orb is a must as is a bit of wild swimming in the river. Owners are very friendly and quick to respond to all communication. Will definitely return!

Aangenaam verblijf
Aangenaam verblijf gehad in deze woning. Stijle trap wat moeilijker toegankelijk is voor jonge kinderen of oudere die minder mobiel is. Voor de kindjes was er te weinig schaduw aanwezig aan het zwembad. Enkele parasols zouden dit makkelijk oplossen.

Lovely house in a peaceful location
The house felt like a warm, family home rather than just a holiday villa and is in a peaceful location within walking distance of the village. It was equipped with everything we needed, together with a good selection of books and games. There is a large pool which was much appreciated in the hot weather, as was the air conditioning. Ian and Lesley were excellent hosts, they were easily contactable and responded to any queries promptly. All in all a very good experience. Lesley S

De fantastiques vacances
Nous avons passé 15 jours dans cette résidence cet été avec nos 3 enfants. La maison est extrêmement fonctionnelle et bien équipéee. On s'y sent tout de suite très bien. La partie piscine est parfaite avec la pool house toujours à l'ombre et très confortable. Les hotes sont êtremement sympathiques et réactifs et l'équipe qui gère la maison très dynamique et à l'écoute du moindre souci. Un magnifique séjour!

Fabulous Family holiday
The holiday property was exactly as described and perfect for our family get together. The house layout was good, everything we needed was there, beds comfortable with high quality Danish cotton bedding. Shutters and air con made it possible to sleep really well as the temperatures were quite high. The pool was great as well as outdoor facilities. All in all a great holiday, hope to revisit one day.

5 Star villa in a tranquil location on the edge of a quite village.
The villa is situated on a large secluded plot approached via a private drive and surrounded by similar properties. Internally, the villa has been updated and provides spacious open plan living accommodation. The furnishings throughout are simple but perfectly adequate. The kitchen was well equipped with all modern appliances and had a large range of utensils. During the second week of our stay the air conditioning was essential! Directly outside the living area the covered terrace is ideal for dining. The pool was very inviting but is not heated and was relatively cool during our first week. However, later on during our stay when daytime temperatures reached 40 degrees C it quickly warmed up and was very pleasant. The large gardens surrounding the property are mainly untended. The centre of the village is only a 10 minute stroll away where there are bakers, a butcher, and two a small general stores. These are complemented by two supermarkets just a short drive away. The scenery around the village is beautiful with mountains and vineyards and a good view of the whole area can be seen from taking one of two designated short walks up to a look-out point above the villa. Around Bezeirs there are a number of small interesting towns that are worth a visit and the nearest beach is at Valras-Plage (30 minute drive) which has beach shops and restaurants. We found the canoeing at Roquebrun was great fun and would definitely do that again even though we are a retired couple. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable two week stay and are glad we chose this particular villa for our holiday.

Beautiful, well equipped villa in great location
We just had a wonderful 2 week stay at the villa. We travelled as a couple with a 2 month old baby and had extra guest for some of it. Very accommodating and helpful owners who supplied a great welcome pack. There are 2 bedrooms on one floor and 2 up on the mezzanine with a bathroom on both floors so works well if friends/2 families. Rooms are all good sizes with modern features. There is no baths which didn’t bother us as 2 good quality showers. Very well equipped, owners have thought of everything! Lovely modern kitchen to cook in. Our favourite bits were definetly outside though, gorgeous summer kitchen where can relax in the shade, wonderful pool, comfy enough sun beds. On the edge of the village, can walk in to one restaurant which was ok quality, pizzas from the pizza wagon were great however. 2 big supermarket 5 min drive away and 2 bakeries easy 5/8 min walk away. Surrounding villages lovely. Overall a lovely stay. Thank you

Wir haben unsere Ferienwoche sehr genossen. Das Haus ist perfekt.
Das Ferienhaus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand. Bei unserer Ankunft war alles bestens vorbereitet. Das Haus haben wir sehr sauber vorgefunden. Toll war vor allem der Pool. Unsere Kinder konnten den Pool ausgiebig benützen. Er hat auch eine sehr gute Grösse. Die Lage des Ferienhauses ist perfekt. Die Umgebung ist wünderschön. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten können besucht werden. Auch das Mittelmeer ist in einer halben Stunde erreichbar.

Very well equipped villa in quiet village .
Village is a great base to explore the surrounding stunning countryside . The villa has all the amenities and a wonderful pool with shade when needed . Walking distance to bakers etc and supermarket 5 mins by car . The villa itself is an a very quiet street being protected from any significant wind by established trees. Plenty of opportunities for wine tasting nearby and for the adventurous canoeing on the river is available . Would certainly recommend it

Perfect stay in a beautiful villa.
We stayed at this beautiful property for two weeks in August. I'm pleased to say that the reality is every bit as good as the photos and description. The property is perfect for two families. With two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and the same downstairs we had a feeling of space. The living areas were also very spacious, so we never felt like we were on top of each other. The kitchen is very well equipped, it's clear the owners have put a lot of thought into the small details that really make a villa holiday. Outside the property has a large pool area, outside kitchen, bbq area and yet even more space. The pool isn't heated so it took us a few days to get used to the temperature. Around the pool is artificial grass, this was great as we had two younger children so we weren't constantly worried about them falling over. (Make sure you have flip flops though, the grass can get very hot in the midday sun!) The covered area by the pool was well used by us, especially as we experienced some very hot days. We loved the fact that the plot was very spacious yet secure. We loved the proximity of the property to shops in the village. The morning stroll to the bakery took less than 10 mins. There are at least two bakeries - we preferred the one that is further away but you have to get there early to guarantee croissants and pan au chocolat, but they are worth getting up for! The village also has a Lidl, pharmacy and restaurant. Other bigger supermarkets are only a short drive away. We also found a small park for the children again this was only a short walk away. We loved the area, so many great places to explore. The owners provided suggestions of places to see. Our personal highlights were canoeing at Roquebrun, swimming in the river, Friday evening food and drink festival at Pezenas and wine tasting in the many, many wineries. (Our favourite was chateau coujan just up the road from the property). There were lots of other lovely places to see and things to do. The owners were very approachable and responsive to queries. They are very knowledgable on the area which was extremely helpful. Our one top tip...brush up on your French, you will need to use it! All in all, a fantastic holiday... we hope to return

A spacious property with traditional external features but minimalist modern interior
Inside, the property was well equipped and spotless throughout. The large pool and surrounding area was excellent and the outside kitchen, barbecue and covered seating was much appreciated in the very hot weather we experienced. The owners were very helpful and responded immmediately to any queries, before and during our stay. The village was quiet but the shops within walking distance were very convenient and the two supermarkets, only a short drive away, made the 'major' shopping trips easy. Many interesting things to do within relatively short distances made this an ideal place to make a base for a relaxing but fun holiday. Canal de Midi, the beach, Roquebrun, Pezenas and the local wineries to name but a few!! Thanks, we had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Manning

Host profile image
We are a family of four, from the South of England.

Why they chose this property

After spending many years visiting various parts of France, we finally decided to buy a holiday home in the Languedoc, as it brings together all the best France has to offer. Great wines (you are never more than 10 meters from a vine it seems) lovely beaches, fresh food and produce
The house had been empty for sometime before we bought it, and it needed quiet a lot of work, however we fell in love with the pool and the location and decided to bite the bullet!

What makes this property unique

Set at the end of long drive on the edge of the village, you are a few minutes leisurely stroll to the village and all its amenities, however it is so calm and quiet you could be in the middle of the countryside.

The local wine cooperative is just over the road, and we are lucky to have 3 different wine producers in the village!
