Few houses in Languedoc or even on the French Mediterranean coast can boast a position such as this - The house was built 10 years ago right on the beach but with a swimming pool. Exceptionally well situated, with sea views to take your breath away - on a clear day you can see the majestic Pyrenees (sometimes still snow-covered in May) and even Cap Creus in Spain, this house is quite luxurious in every way.
It has three terraces, one of which runs the entire length of the living room and is covered, and the other two are situated on the garden side of the house. The garden is an oasis of greenery and mature trees, including Mediterranean pines, which provide much needed shade in the summer.
The 'house beach' rarely gets crowded even in July and August simply because there is no public parking near the house. In June and September it is almost private.
Internet broadband is found throughout the house (not that anyone would want to work while holidaying in this property!)
A ten minute walk along the beach will bring you to boulangeries, cafes and restaurants either in Grau d'Agde or Cap d'Agde.
The house is nicely and comfortably furnished with a beautiful upstairs master bedroom (exposed modern wooden beam structure) which almost 'hovers' above the sea.
The house is spacious with three double bedrooms and a cot and three bathrooms.
Clients' comments:
Just a note to say that we very much enjoyed the villa. The weather was fantastic. The owners were very nice and very helpful. Trevor Sampson, June 2010
Just a short note to say we really enjoyed our holiday at Les Rocailles, the villa was the nicest we have ever stayed in with wonderful views from both the lounge and master bedroom. The owner's were very welcoming and the villa was equipped with everything you could need and more - we would definitely recommend it to everyone. Many thanks !
The Hiscott Family, June 2010
Having now been back from our vacance for some 2 weeks I thought I would write to express my complete satisfaction with the property, our host and hostess the weather etc.etc.etc. It was a really fabulous holiday and Les Rocailles has got to be one of the most beautiful and perfectly postioned properties in France. ..... The villa was equipped with everything one could possibly want to make for a perfect holiday even down to a set of scrabble - having played numerous times we had to buy a set on our return to the UK to continue the tournament . A la retour j'espere!
Graham Cheetham, June 2009
..... We really did feel the villa was superb in every way. The hosts had set it up to make our stay perfect. We had everything we needed and actually ended up choosing to spend most of our holiday in the villa relaxing. It was wonderful and more than just a place to stay. In addition the service of your staff from making reservation, taking payment to helping us retrieve our long lost stuffed toy that got left behind was beyond expectation. You guys are top notch. Thank you for making our holiday a great experience. Thank you so much..... Everyone is happy. What a nice stay and what personalized service. Made us really feel at home. Everything was perfect. Susan Lynn, June 2009
We would like to say that the villa was superb. We regularly take villa holidays in Southern Europe, especially France, and we can confidently say that this villa holiday was the best we have had so far. The location, facilities, weather fortunately, and the friendliness of the owners, Mr and Mme Santamaria, were excellent and we would strongly recommend the villa to other discerning villa holidaymakers. Thanks for your help and if we decide to visit France again in the future we will certainly use your company. John, Susan, and Lucinda Wherret, June 2008
'We just wanted to let you know that we had the most incredible time at Les Rocailles. The landlords were fantastic and the house is just incredible. It was a completely wonderful week. Thanks for your help'. Mr Gordon & Family, May 2007
'We have now rated Les Rocailles our No. 1 vacation villa .... the villa and grounds were perfect, it was nice to be able to walk to restaurants, and the location for touring was very convenient. The bikes were fun as well. We can be very critical of villas--but none of us could find fault with Les Rocailles--our highest recommendation!' Harriet & Cally, September 2007 |

6mx5m Swimming pool with Roman steps and removable fence and child barrier. A few steps down from the terrace there is an outside shower and a washing line - this also leads into the front garden.
The house has 3 large paved terraces with garden furniture. One is on the 'sea side' and the other 2 on the 'garden side' of the house.
The large terrace which runs all along the side of the living dining room is partially covered and can almost be considered as the living room extension. It has some nice outside furniture - a metal table with chairs for al fresco dining and an outside sofa with cushions. There are also a number of plastic sun loungers by the pool.
From this large terrace there is a gate which leads down to the beach. A small boat house. This beach rarely gets busy simply because there is no parking for the general public apart from the residential houses along that beach.
Front garden provides a lush green oasis with mature Mediterranean pines, oleanders, Phoenix palm trees and well watered grass. The watering system is automatic so sprinklers will come on at certain times during the day/night. The entry to the property is through automatic remote control gates.
A third paved terrace houses the summer kitchen. There is a built in BBQ and more garden furniture for outside dining. The downstairs bedroom gives out onto the third terrace with a charming old stone fountain.
Parking for 3 cars inside property gates. |

The villa is among a small collection of exclusive detached beach houses, that were built in the 1990's and is a far cry from the major development of yacht marinas and holiday flats in Cap d'Agde itself, 2 km down the coast.
You can see Grau d'Agde from the house, as the resort is on the far side of a small headland. The stretch of beach by the property is quiet, because the nearest car park and access to the beach for the general public is 400m away.
700m walk to restaurants , and there is one right on the beach.
Rochelongue beach (with beach restaurant) - 700m walk along beach or 1km by road: to baker, grocer, good fish-monger, bicycle hire, pedallo hire (June to Sept only).
Cap d'Agde 4 km (or 2km by foot). All services. 'Aqualand' (huge water-slides, etc.) 27-hole golf course (3km), tennis (5km), boat hire, offshore shark fishing, aquarium. Wide choice of restaurants.
Agde 3km. Old historic town and fishing port, founded by the Ancient Greeks. Nice market, excellent seafood restaurants.
Beziers 20 km. Major market town, noted for its bull-fight 'Feria' in August.
Pezenas 20 km. Attractive medieval town.
Narbonne 42 km. Famous cathedral.
Montpellier 55 km. Large university town.
