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.
