We completely renovated the villa when we bought it in 2007. The renovations included a new kitchen with granite work-surfaces plus an extension with a breakfast room and conservatory, new fully tiled bathrooms , reversible air-conditioning throughout the house, complete re-wiring, re-tiled floors, new doors, windows and shutters and redecoration. The swimming pool was also overhauled and has a solar powered weight-bearing cover. This exceeds the safety measures required under French law and makes it as child safe as possible. There is an outdoor eating area that seats 10 and a built in barbecue and sun loungers. Where possible the house is furnished with traditional style French furniture.
Our villa is very private and located in a quiet area with no road noise. The villa is surrounded by walls and trees.
Local Village : Lespignan is a true French village and not a tourist trap! Our villa is on the edge of the village; a short stroll (6 minutes) to the centre for your breakfast croissants. There is a small market on Wednesday & Friday mornings and the local Spar shop is even open on a Sunday morning. There is also a pharmacy, butchers, tabac, wine seller and takeaways and restaurants. For more choice the hypermarkets in Beziers (Auchan, Geant and Le Clerc) are a short drive away & there is a Casino supermarket at Colombiers which is open 7 days a week. The Carrefour hypermarket between Serignan and Valras Plage is also open on a Sunday during the Summer.
There are two restaurants/pizzerias in the village plus an excellent wine bar and a restaurant in the chateau. More restaurants are available in the neighbouring villages and there is an excellent choice in Beziers.
Children: we have made the house as child friendly as possible. We have cots and high chairs, a child safety gate at the top of the stairs, children's books and toys and also CBeebies!
Teenagers also enjoy the house as we have full wi-fi and a well equipped games room in the pool house with table tennis, a pool table and table football plus exercise equipment.
Dogs: we welcome well-behaved small and medium sized dogs but do charge a small surcharge and any damage or extra cleaning will be deducted from the security bond. We can recommend local vets to fill in the pet passports before returning to the UK.
