Manoir and Vigneron - pool, 8 bedrooms to sleep 20

The house is located in the charming village of Capestang.

The main town of Beziers with its superb main boulevard lined with outdoor restaurants and bars is 15kms. Don't miss the Friday flower market, said to be the best in the south of France.

The coast is 20 mins away with sandy beaches, some excellent fish restaurants and the fish market of Sete.

For history there is the ancient walled city of Carcassonne, the roman town of Narbonne, and the city of Perpignan. Spain is only an hour and a half drive away and has a very different style to France.

Activities close by are surfing, swimming, tennis, walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing, water skiing, mountain biking, cruising on the Canal du Midi.

Situated in the heart of the lively 13th Century village of Capestang (on the Canal du Midi) the restaurants, shops, cafes and twice weekly market are all a few steps away.

This large, spacious old French house with its 13th Century tower (with resident owl) has just been refurbished to a very high standard.

In front of the house is a large gated courtyard, whilst to the side is a secluded patio garden with pool (9m x 4.5m and 1.2m deep). There is also a BBQ, summer kitchen with drinks fridge, shower, cloakroom, table tennis table & lots of teak garden furniture for relaxing on. The church behind is lit at night and provides a wonderful backdrop to dinner.

It is possible to rent the two properties, Le Manoir and Le Vigeneron, together. This would give you sleeping accommodation for up to 18 people plus two babies very comfortably, with an optional extra 2/3 children. This option would also give you a private pool, so you would have a totally private domain with walled courtyard, garden area with barbeque and patio, and pool.

MANOIR
The main house (Le Manoir) is on 3 floors. The top floor has 1 double en suite and 3 twins rooms (1 en suite, 2 twins share the 3rd bathroom). The middle floor has 2 doubles, both en suite, 1 has a dressing room with cot. In the spacious sitting room with comfy sofas are DVD & video players and a music centre. There is a new kitchen & large dining room.

VIGNERON
This charming, deceptively spacious old french building is set-out over three floors. It was stripped right back before being completely rebuilt. This allows the luxury of under-floor heating. The top floor currently offers a large double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. On the middle floor is an airy and light living room and an adjacent office/second bedroom with a very large treble bunk. This is reached up a short ladder, so it may not be suitable for the very young or very elderly, or someone with a disability. This room also contains a baby's cot if required. The ground floor has a well equipped modern kitchen with separate dining room/third small bedroom, a second bathroom, and outdoor patio area for al fresco dining. In the evening the beautiful old 13th century Church is lit up and provides a wonderful backdrop.

In front of the house is a large gated courtyard, whilst to the side is a secluded patio garden with pool (9m x 4.5m and 1.2m deep). The pool is not overlooked.

There is also a BBQ, summer kitchen with drinks fridge, shower, cloakroom, table tennis table & lots of teak garden furniture for relaxing on. The church behind is lit at night and provides a wonderful backdrop to dinner.

On the ground floor in the dining room, it was decided, rather than destroy the old wine cuve, it would be retained and restored. So what this gives you on the ground floor is a fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom, and a small dining room, with French doors out onto the terrace at one end. At the other end of the dining-room, there is a step up to the curtained-off cuve, which contains the double bed.
