About this property

Beautiful French house with Mediterranean garden and pool, sleeps 10-12


This is an absolutely beautiful and spacious unique period property, boasting many original features throughout, particularly the traditional Languedoc floor tiles, high ceilings and impressive winding staircase. Unusually for many houses in the region, the garden, pool area, kitchen and dining room are all situated at ground level, without steps, meaning that it provides the ideal setting for all the family to enjoy together.

The house has been completely and sympathetically renovated and furnished with beautiful traditional French furniture which is contemporary with the house. There are 5 spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, 2 of which are en suite in addition to a communal bathroom. There are another 2 bedrooms on the ground floor with a bathroom

The house opens on to a beautiful and spacious mediterranean garden, with private swimming pool , sun loungers, tiled pool area, with table, chairs and large parasol . The pool is situated next to a scenic exposed stone wall
The garden has a beautiful well tended lawn and mature plants and trees. Stunning traditional outdoor french lanterns and night lighting means that you can sit out into the evening in the garden. The garden is ideal for families, one of the best features being that both the pool and garden are all on the same level so that families can enjoy the garden and pool area together. A substantial railed fence and lockable gate, separates the pool area from the rest of the garden, adding extra security for children. Garden tables, with overhanging large parasol and barbecue, mean that it is ideally set up for outdoor eating. The outside bathroom and toilet are convenient for garden and pool access.

The house is situated close to the centre of the medieval village of Masalas, with its stunning 11th century church. The village has a bakery and tea room, a traditional French restaurant, a tapis bar and The Excalibur, a large bar and restaurant, conveniently open 7 days a week till midnight. There is a bank, post office, tobbanist/newsagent, hair dressing salon, a mini supermarket and 2 doctors surgeries.

There is a large supermarket on the outskirts of the village with a nearby pharmacy, boulangerie/cafe, an additional restaurant and a tourist office, where all the wines of the region may be purchased.
Acres of amazing vineyards, surround the village which are ideal for scenic walks and bike rides.
There are numerous Domaines, both in the village and the surrounding area, where tasting and purchasing of wine can be undertaken

Family Reunion
Absolutely beautiful. The house, the garden, the village - everything was wonderful! We had the most amazing week in this beautiful house. We had all been looking forward to our visit and it exceeded our expectations on every point. Owner was super helpful providing great tips and suggestions to make the most of our stay in the area. I would happily go back there again and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is considering it. My only reservation in recommending this fabulous house is that part of me would like to keep it a well kept secret!!! 5 stars!

Großes Haus mit schönem Pool
Wir hatten eine gute Zeit in diesem schönen Haus. Es liegt nahe an Béziers und hat gleich in der Nähe eine leckere Bäckerei und einen kleinen Lebensmittelladen. Die Straße vor dem Haus ist der einzige Wermutstropfen.

Lovely villa
This villa is very spacious with a good sized garden and swimming pool. Fourteen of us stayed here for a week with ages between 2 and 73 and we all really enjoyed. The table tennis was a great favourite. Nice walk into the village to get our morning pastries and there was a music festival there on Tuesday evening. Online listing says it sleeps 10 - 12 but 14 of us stayed there comfortably.

Lovely house
A nice house to spend 2 weeks with your family. Nice pool and garten. Kitchen well equipped with a farely new side by side fridge/cooler. Really nice. A few minor details, but not worth mentioning. The noise from street was there, but we managed to ignore it. The town is more a quiet town with lot's of narrow streets. Really nice. All in one we can recommend this. All

Mooi huis
Mooi huis met prachtig zwembad maar niet rolstoel toegankelijk de deuren zijn te smal en het is niet mogelijk om de salon op eerste verdieping te bereiken . En er is een lawaaierige straat ernaast . Wel mooi dorp en verschillende mooie dorpen in de buurt en de Middellandse zee is nabij .

Family gathering in Magalas
A wonderful family gathering with 4 generations together in this incredible property and in a lovely little town/village. Great sized back garden for kids and a lovely pool that was easy to keep locked/safe. Beautiful titled floors upstairs too and we all loved our rooms. Would definitely return. Only fault would be perhaps more shade now the palm tree has been cut down.

Lovely classic French house
We really enjoyed our stay! There were 13 of us, 8 adults and 5 children (9 to 16 years old) and 2 dogs, and there was plenty of room to accommodate us all. The kitchen was very well equipped and made making lunches/dinner very easy and the garden and pool very well kept and nice and private. It was very hot in the night though and aircon would have been very welcomed! We each did have a fan in our rooms but that didn’t really help…also the house is situated on one of the main roads that goes through Magalas and trucks, lorries and agricultural vehicles drive past at the crack of dawn and are rather loud! That said, we all did have a lovely time and it was great to spend a week all together as a family.

Holiday house
The garden and pool are fantastic for children, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms also is excellent. The house is comfortably furnished and not so grand as to prevent the children from enjoying themselves. Extra bins, tea towels and a kitchen larder would be a great improvement.

Perfect family retreat in Magalas
Our stay in Magalas was perfect for our family group. Two families both with young adults who loved spending time together and making use of the wonderful pool. The house is spacious and the surrounding area bountiful with fine wines and great food. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Conleth.

Beautiful house in Magalas, an oasis
Fantastic house in small village with all necessary amenities. House is beautiful, great bedrooms with fans, and nice bathrooms, garden is such an oasis. We were three generations in the house, and there is plenty of room for all, including a large kitchen. The pool was used a lot, and friendly Michel came three days a week to clean it. Such a service! The location is ideal for exploring the area, plenty of nice vineyards around. The owners are very friendly and everything was as promised. Can highly recommend this place. (Note: house is on a somewhat busy street in the village, some noise from the Road).

Bon séjour malgré le bruit
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour et bien profité des nombreux équipements de la maison. Cependant, notre séjour a été très fortement impacté par une circulation incessante due en partie à la saison des vendanges engendrant du bruit de jour comme de nuit. C'est bien dommage !

Characterful property in a small rural town
The property is as described in the advert , with 7 double bedrooms ( 2 ensuite) and a further 2 bathrooms. The kitchen and dinining spaces were spacious and well equipped. The town is very small but the bar is quite lively and the Bistrot Galarie is excellent. A car is essential for the supermarket and for visiting the local area.

Lovely house, plenty of space, lovely garden and pool
We had a good family time in this house, which was honestly described by the hosts. Our stay would have been improved by being a tiny bit later in the season. Unfortunately most of the surrounding events were still closed or too cold. I definately recommend this place for a holiday from end May onwards.

Wonderful relaxing holiday
14 of us stayed in this beautiful property in Magalas for 2 weeks during the very hot weather. The pool was excellent, a decent size for a swim, for the children and their blow up floats. Plenty of shade under the umbrella and trees during the day. The house itself has plenty of space and is very comfortable. Magalas has all that is required, a good Boulangere, a bar/restaurant, a small supermarket. Also a small market in the carpark once a week. A new Bistro, since our last visit, has opened in the church square and happily accommodated us all couple of times, tables laid out in the square. We hired boats in Sete for the day and the family went Kayaking on the River Orb from near Roquebrun. The beach isn't far away. Needless to say some superb wineries locally and slightly further a field. Definitely a house and location for all ages.
