Home description

Sainte Cecile is a large farmhouse situated on the top of a hill with splendid views over the surrounding countryside.

A large swimming pool is complimented by a smaller toddler pool and the large garden means there are many areas to sit and relax.

The property is three kilometres from the nearest village and there is no other house in sight.

There is always plenty to do - whether it be simply lazing in the hammock in the garden, picking figs from one of four fig trees or more energetic pursuits like shopping in Montpellier or going wine tasting.

Sainte Cecile is right in the middle of one of the most popular holiday destinations in France, combining beach, mountains and countryside. Half an hour away is the idyllic port town of Marseillan, often described as St Tropez of fifty years ago.

A short walk from Sainte Cecile is our almond grove where, depending on the season, you can pick almonds or just lie in the shade of the trees after a picnic lunch. All around the house there are beautiful walks, either on small country tracks or through vineyards. The views from the various hills around us are stunning.

If you're into cycling you couldn't pick a better spot. There is a gruelling but splendid circuit from the house that takes about an hour and takes you up into the mountains past a local goat farm where you can stock up on some cheese before cycling home again.
