Great place for a holiday!

We had a wonderful week at this house. For us, a family with four kids in different ages, both the house and the village was perfect. Extra plus for the hospitality, the pool area and the possibility to walk to the local wine producer. The house is clean, well equipped and everything thoughtfully arranged, from generous amounts of toilet paper, soap and towels to cling film and mosquito repellant. Owners friendly and quick to reply on any questions. We highly recommend it!

Sehr schönes großes Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage

Wir (Eltern mit zwei Teenagern) haben den Urlaub zwei Wochen sehr genossen und kommen jederzeit gerne wieder. Das tolle Ferienhaus liegt in ruhiger Lage auf den Höhen am Ortsrand von Tourbes. Das nicht einsichtige sehr große Grundstück hat viele schöne verschiedene Ecken mit Bäumen, dem kleinen Teich und anderem, die man genießen kann. Es gibt eine schöne und große Terrasse mit soliden Möbeln mit Grill. Der 8x4 m große Pool hat eine gute Größe, ist ebenfalls uneinsichtig gelegen und es sind ausreichend Liegen verfügbar. Wir haben ihn intensiv genossen. Pool-Spielzeug kann gemietet werden.f Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, alles Nötige ist vorhanden und es fehlt an nichts. Wohnzimmer mit Essbereich und Küche ist sehr wohnlich und geräumig. Schon am ersten Tag fühlt man sich rundum wohl wie Zu Hause. Die Klimaanlagen in allen Zimmern haben gut funktioniert. WLAN war auch perfekt. Bezug des Hauses hat problemlos geklappt. Wir waren komplett ungestört im Haus. Fernsehen ist in englischen oder französischen Sendern möglich. Wenn gewünscht sind die Vermieterin Penny und der Hausmeister vor Ort sehr hilfsbereit und stehen für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Die Kontakte in englischer Sprache waren sehr angenehm und hilfreich. Die Strände in Valras oder Serignan sind in 25 min erreichbar, Carcassonne, Béziers, Narbonne Montpellier zwischen 45 und 90 min. Ein I-Tüpfelchen zur Perfektion wären noch Fliegengitter an einzelnen Fenstern, damit nachts gelüftet werden kann. Dank der guten Klimanlage ist dies aber kein wirkliches Problem. Danke für einen wunderbaren Urlaub.

Lovely stay in beautiful village in the sunshine..

Had a great stay, house was large and facilities good for a bigger group, Tourbes is a lovely small village and the larger town of Pezanas is only a short drive. Weather was very hot for our stay so the pool was well used and the kids enjoyed the environment. Overall highly recommend.

Trevligt hus i charmig by

Vi var väldigt nöjda med vår vecka i Tourbes. Fem vuxna och tre små barn hade stor glädje av huset, uteplatsen, poolen och trädgården. Det var en period med mycket höga utetemperaturer men med luftkonditionering i kök och alla sovrum så blev vistelsen mycket behaglig.

A wonderful place

We have really enjoyed our two weeks in Tourbes. The house is well equipped and has everything you need. We especially enjoyed the pool and the big surroundings with the trees and the ping pong table. We made many trips in the area like visiting Montpellier, Bézier, Arles, Sète and many other sights (Abbaye Fontfroide, Carcassonne, St. Guilhelm le Désert, Pézenas). We went swimming on the beaches of Sérignan, Rochelongue and Valras. Sérignan is a large beach with very few people and a beautiful place. The two other beaches have many visitors and are fully equipped. Our teenagers liked the more populated beaches better. We really enjoyed dinner at the restaurant La Table des Vignerons in Tourbes. All in all we have spent a wonderful vacation in Tourbes. Thank you Penny for the easy contact and for answering all questions really kind and quick.

Maison agréable et interlocuteurs efficaces et très corrects.

La maison est très calme car légèrement isolée du village tout en étant très proche. Elle est très bien équipée. Merci à Linda qui a été très réactive lorsque nous avons eu un dégât des eaux et merci à Penny qui a compensé ce désagrément.

GREAT LOCATION AND FACILITIES

The welcome arrangements and departure were straightforward and Penny the owner was very helpful and responsive. The spacious house is in a lovely secluded position within an easy walk to the centre of Tourbes from which there are buses to Pezenas and Beziers. It is a great location from which to tour the region from coast to mountains crammed as it is with fantastic sights. The house itself is spacious and and the well maintained pool is such a bonus. There is ample air conditioning, which was essential on the hottest days. The exception is the ground floor bedrooms which rely on fans. The stair to the 1st floor bedroom is steep with open treads and while not a problem for us it could be a challenge for the less mobile or sure footed for nocturnal bathroom visits. Overall a lovely relaxing holiday base

Fantastic house in a beautiful village

We stayed here for a week in August and we were blown away. The house is everything we could have wanted. It is fully equipped with everything you need and all of the rooms in the house are lovely. We enjoyed using the BBQ outside and spending time in the pool when it was getting too hot! We spent lots of time at the property relaxing, playing table tennis and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It’s a short walk into the village. There’s a lovely cafe, bakery, pharmacy and small convenience store. Tourbes is a beautiful place. We have no doubt that we will be staying here again next year! A wonderful week.

Comfortble and charactful villa with charming village backdrop

Loved the setting on the edge of the village, only a few minutes walk from the centre, yet with all the peace and tranquility of the countryside. Great views of the village and beyond looking towards the coast. Well placed for amenities with a bakery and lively cafe in the village centre and several supermarkets only a few minutes drive away. We loved the outdoor pool and spent many days just lazing around it, with frequent dips to cool off from the 35 degree heat. Inside, the aircon in the main living area (and main bedroom) also provided welcome relief. We ate alfresco most of the time in the lovely shaded dining area just off the kitchen, which made preparing food and clearing up afterwards, easy. The new gas barbecue was quick and simple to use and we had several feasts with it. Equally, the sun terrace accessed from the mezzanine or main bedroom provided a perfect place for a "sundowner" or even a cup of coffee and also a photo opportunity. The open plan main living area we used at lunchtime when it was too hot to sit out and on the one day it rained. The kitchen was very well appointed with every conceivable plate, pan, casserole dish, utensil etc. and the large fridge/freezer enabled us to keep a plentiful stock of chilled food and drink. The ice maker was particularly welcome. Overall, we had an incredibly relaxing stay here. The peace and tranquility is unsurpassed and there is no need to venture beyond the extensive grounds of the villa in order to have an enjoyable time. Yet, the beach isn't very far away, nor is historic Pezenas or other towns of note, such as Montpellier. The local village provided us with entertainment as there was a festival when we were there, although sadly the fancy dress race in homemade go-carts from the top to the bottom of the village had to be cancelled because of rain! Nontheless, we thoroughly enjoyed being part of village cultural life, mingling with the locals and many ex-pats, who not surprisingly have made this laid-back, unspoilt, beautiful wine region their home.

Excellent Family Holiday

We have just returned from this great house in Tourbes and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great, flexible and spacious house for a family holiday. The village is handy for access to major roads, beaches, rivers for canoeing and the lovely town of Pezenas. Pizzas and a couple of drinks in the village square only 10 minutes walk away. The house is tidy and clean and offers a great layout which suited us (a family of six). We actually used the little room behind the kitchen as an extra bedroom for our 12 year old so everyone had their own space. The garden is big and sitting above and on the edge of Tourbes the overwhelming atmosphere is of relaxing peace and quiet. All of the communication was very quick, responsive and helpful and things were made easy for us. Our favourite beach at Rochelongue was magic our first week with warm sea temperatures and its only 30 minutes away. We all enjoyed our big day out to Nimes and loved taking out a little boat at Marseillan...jelly fish aside. Walking around Pezenas in the evening (go in on Friday) followed by a few games of cards back at the house to finish off the day is a great way to relax and despite the incredible heat...we had another great holiday in this part of France. Don't hesitate to make this house.

Beautiful location ideally situated for a relaxing holiday of an adventure!

The property is spacious and fixtures and fittings are to a high quality.. The air conditioning in the main living area and master bedroom we’re much appreciated with the increased temperatures we faced this year. The renovations that have been carried out so far are to a high standard. The land the property sits in affords privacy and a feeling of space and peace.The local town was welcoming with a cafe, bakery and great restaurant. The position of this property is perfect for visiting many beautiful areas around like pezenas and narbonne to name just two of our favourites, Many thanks for sharing your property.

Heerlijk huis met zwembad, goed geoutilleerd

Fijn, ruim huis, mooi zwembad met ligstoelen, fijne keuken met met alles wat nodig is (grote vries- en koelkast, oven, magnetron, gasfornuis etc) en wasmachine. Tegen gezellig dorpje aangelegen en dicht in buurt bij leuke stad(jes) en kust. Enige minpuntjes: indeling van de 4 slaapkamers is een beetje uit verhouding en mogelijk vanwege de droogte/ hitte rook je af en toe op bepaalde plekken rondom het huis rioollucht. Verder top huis!

Lovely family house with lots of space.

Had a great time in the pool. The upper terrace was fantastic for drinks and nibbles in the evenings sunshine. The village is easy to walk to and the cafe has a great atmosphere. We went to the festival in Pezenas on Friday night and the market on Saturday morning as recommended by the owners - both well worth a visit.

Beautifully located and equipped house in secluded part of village with great view and fab pool

Of the several houses we’ve rented for holidays in France and Italy this is one of the best. It’s within walking distance of the village which has a superb restaurant, yet is quiet and private. The grounds are spacious, the pool is clean and not over chlorinated and the house is well equipped. The owners are very keen to ensure you have a lovely stay. I recommend it highly for families or couples if you enjoy your space, as we do.

Light, airy and spacious

We stayed in this property for the whole of September. The position is very near perfect. We became really fond of Tourbes - it has everything you need. The house and garden are very private but it is within easy walking distance of the village and only a few minutes drive to the supermarche of your choice. It is only 10 minutes from the A75. In fact, in 12 years of renting in France, it is the best location we have ever had. The main bedroom is spacious with a super-comfortable bed - beware - the stairs are quite steep and the main bathroom is downstairs. Not a problem at all as long as you are fit and able! All of the bedrooms have very comfortable mattresses and great storage. The kitchen is furnished with quality fittings and matching crockery and glasses - this has not always been our experience in holiday rentals. The American style fridge is a real bonus. The pool is very clean and well maintained. The pool loungers are good quality and very comfortable. I know that Penny has not long owned this property and that they are in the process of updating and renewing so the house is work in progress. Everything that they have done so far reflects quality and comfort and we are sure that it will be even better next year. As it is, we had a great holiday, one of our best in France.

The house was just as it had been explained in the owners description.

We enjoyed 2 weeks at this lovely house in Tourbes at the end of July. The location is perfect, the house is secluded and set in its own extensive grounds, perfect for the children to enjoy exploring. There are lovely views over the surrounding vineyards and it is just a short walk into the small village of Tourbes. The lovely open plan kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed and we enjoyed many evenings sitting in the beautiful outdoor dining and BBQ area surrounded by pine trees. The sunny pool area is great with plenty of natural shade surrounding it and the alarm system works well for younger children. The bedrooms are all well appointed with lots of storage and each with an electric fan. The master bedroom is particularly lovely and spacious and has its own roof terrace! We had a super holiday here, the house is perfect for relaxing and there is plenty to do in the surround area, we would definitely recommend a visit!

Lovely house and beautiful little village

We had a lovely time in Tourbes, the house was light, bright and spacious and exactly what we were looking for. The terrace is perfect for catching the last of the evening sunshine and I'm sure once it gets a fraction warmer the outside table will be lovely for meals. Really handy being able to walk to get fresh bread in the morning - we'll be back!

A fabulous family friendly place to stay with easy walking distance into the town.

Lots of space to relax and get away from it all within the house and garden. Fabulous view of the pool and garden from the kitchen / living space . Plenty of room within all the living and sleeping accommodation, a particular highlight being the master bedroom. All rooms were well appointed and tastefully decorated throughout, the ground floor bedrooms having use of a large bathroom and very useful separate WC. The kitchen was very well appointed with all the gadgets needed to prepare meals. Will be booking again.

About the host

Hosted by Penny Holding

We love this part of France with its relaxed way of life and of course the fabulous weather. Whist family in the UK prevents us from moving here full time we spend many weeks here each year enjoying the surrounding countryside and Mediterranean beaches or simply sitting at a local cafe watching the world go by. We bought the house is 2016 after a long search and haven't regretted it once. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The light open living space was what initially attracted us to the house with its views over the garden and the village. Set in a quiet corner a short walk from the centre of Tourbes there is immediate access to the many paths and tracks through local vineyards and woodland. The house has some interesting features - a room behind the kitchen we believe was originally a stone winemakers hut, and a roof terrace accessed from the master bedroom or mezzanine. The garden is totally enclosed within a secure fence and electric gates and there is plenty of parking within the grounds We even have a small pond with resident fish and frogs.

What makes this property unique

The house is set within large grounds which extend all round the property, in a quiet location which provides an air of tranquillity and calm. From the house the view across to the coast is one of the best in Tourbes and it's location is perfect for exploring the region.
Pezenas, the medieval town, is less than 5kms away with its markets and festivals and array of restaurants and craft shops.
