This has been the most relaxing and quality vacation I have experienced until now. This villa I would like to call it my home. It has it all... fitness gear, cinema-room for up to 12 people with comfortable lounge seats, sauna, year through heated pool, incredible sundeck with loungers, lots of space (up to 450m2 the owner told me), comfortable and large bedrooms with king size beds, and even a waterbed in the master, all with their ensuite bathrooms and individual toilets, private garden no Neighbour views... This is an absolute winner!! The villa has also been rewarded and participated several times on French television as being "unique". The sandy beach is 2 steps away from the villa. I can understand why the owner and his family only rents 4 months a year and occupy 8 months themselves.. Also, we found the villa clients and his owner had a very respectful reputation with the local restaurants. This might be one of the, if not the only, true gem of Sète. My family will profit for sure again next year.
SFV COMMENT - the beach is a 2-3 minute walk.

This fabulous Villa is in a magnificent location. Firstly the Villa itself exceeded our expectations and lived up to the description on the website. It was home from home for us and had every luxury we required including space, privacy, well stocked kitchen and very comfortable living areas, the swimming pool, outdoor verandas and fabulous cinema room. We enjoyed using the bicycles and taking daily walks along the beach. The city is accessible by bike and has a lovely market and coffee shops. We had one query about the WiFi and the owner was very attentive and on hand immediately to sort it out. Overall five star experience thanks for a wonderful stay. We look forward to returning again next year.
Beautiful villa in the Luberon.. truly wonderful host and the villa is just perfect! Amenities within walking distance. We were lucky enough to spend 5 weeks here and got to the know the locals. The whole experience was a privilege. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. South France Villas client September/October
What can I say to do this property justice? Everything is just perfect. The privacy of the pool area, which is bathed in sun all day. After a day out we relaxed around the pool in the sun until 8pm. The outdoor kitchen was amazing for barbecuing on the terrace. The bedrooms are so grand, and the mattresses, pillows and bedding are top quality. I loved the rain shower in the bathroom.

A true chateau, so elegant and romantic. Every room is so beautifully decorated and the added touch of genuine antiques and works of art is amazing. Being real foodies, we took the owners’ advice and booked the local caterer in the village for an evening meal in the grand dining room. It was very special, made even more special with the local wines he recommended. On other nights we walked to the village square and enjoyed the ‘plat du jour’ at the village restaurant/bar. The owner speaks fluent English and the locals were very friendly. I loved every minute of my stay.
Stacey (UK) April 2023
Beautiful weather in April, unlike back at home. From the moment I walked through the front door into the opulent marble hallway and up the grand staircase to my suite, I felt like I was an actress in a period drama. We were a group of 12 and everyone agreed that we had booked the perfect location. So much to do in the area and so many places to visit. And after a day’s sightseeing, it was sheer bliss to spend time relaxing around the pool. As to the rooms and bathrooms, I can’t even describe how much thought has gone into the details like luxury bedding, pillows, towels, toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and much more. I simply did not want to leave.
Steven and Lydia (UK) July 2023
We had the most amazing time here. The chateau is decorated beautifully and the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and luxurious. We loved our days out in Carcassonne, Gruissan and the Safari Park. 2 of the guys in our party booked a day’s fishing on the Aude river with fishing guide and had a great time. The pool area is fabulous. The pool and ping pong tables were busy in the evenings and the air conditioned cinema room was a welcome addition. Thank you for a wonderful time.
Steven (UK) July 2023
Travelling with a group, I was lucky to end up in the Grand Suite on the first floor. After soaking in the bathtub, I loved sitting on the balcony simply listening to the fountain and reading a book in the bathrobe and slippers provided. The air conditioning was a real benefit for sleeping in the enormous bed. I am a keen amateur photographer and I got some great photographs at the nearby Safari Park in Sigean and at the pink salt lakes in Gruissan.
The villa and scenery offer a luxury experience that cannot be captured through pictures. Hollywood in Provence is not descriptive enough!!! I booked for a family gathering (my parent’s birthday) which included kids of all ages - we all had the most wonderful experience. It is also a great place for friends if you’d like to chill in the country side and be surrounded by nature, good food and wine!
I ran 10 km every morning with my brother around the vines and towards the hills breathing in the pure fresh air. It’s the kind of run you do that reminds me of how lucky you are to be alive…... I live in London, so I am not used to having so much nature around it was simply heaven. We cooked in the fabulous outside kitchen and swam in the magnificent pool, finishing with cocktails in the jacuzzi in the evenings. The morning sunrises are sublime and the setting sun sets the sky alight before the stars start to twinkle (helped by the delicious rosé)!!! There are also a lot of family activities available in the villa which makes it easy for everyone to find something to do without having to go anywhere.
The owner was absolutely amazing, very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We booked her private chef Alain who prepared the best birthday meal I have ever tasted and we had a fabulous party with some friends who we invited for the evening. My parents had the best birthday ever of which they will cherish the memory forever. Don’t hesitate to book, trust me, this is a very special place that you will never find anywhere else!
The Villa and Pool house were wonderful - better than we expected. The owners were very accommodating and attentive. They thought of everything possible to make the stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. The location was great along with the very large pool. We had a fabulous holiday and would definitely book the accommodation again. We also had a great experience with the booking team at South France Villas - they were very helpful and efficient in finding us such a lovely Villa.

Thank you for a lovely family break at Villa Chenet. Weather has been glorious, kids have loved the pool! The villa is very well equipped, which made life easier and we all relaxed. Had a wonderful time - thanks! From the Visitors Book - May 2023
The pictures of this house do not do it justice. It is much more tranquil and beautiful in real life with lots of space for a family of 5. It is incredibly well appointed with lovely crockery and glasses and everything in between. The pool area is glorious and got sun all day long. There are also lots of other little courtyards and areas to sit. The owner and property manager were very responsive and welcoming. Would highly recommend! August
We spent 2 weeks at this wonderful house. We were warmly welcomed by Philip and Patricia. To have them next door was really great. They were very kind and hospitable. The house was very well equipped. The bedrooms were so clean and comfortable with lovely bedding and towels.The 4 bedrooms were a great size with the upstairs master a relaxing space. Bathrooms were well equipped with shampoos, conditioners and shower gel. The kitchen was very well resourced with everything you needed for self-catering for a family of 5. Great coffee machine. Lots of ice from the ice machine which was great. 2 fridges was also very helpful. The garden were just gorgeous - a breezy cool place to relax in the shade. We especially liked the exercise station under the pine trees. The tortoises were a fun addition to the holiday.
We used the wonderful pool... such a beautiful setting and loved the sun bathing chairs with their linen towels. We played tennis everyday and enjoyed the hitting wall. The pool table and table tennis table were also well used! Throughout the day we used the different places to eat and sit, both inside and out which was so relaxing and inspiring with the decoration and soft furnishings.
The local area was equally inspiring with restaurants and cafes in abundance. Supermarkets and shops within a short drive. We visited Pezenas several times enjoying the late night shopping and the market on the Saturday. We did many day trips to swim in the river and the sea as well as hiring canoes for the day on the river L'Herault. We also sampled wine from a beautiful local vineyard which was such a treat.
We would absolutely recommend this holiday villa for a family holiday as there is so much to do as well as places to relax and re-charge the batteries. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to book the villa again one day. Definitely has left a special place in my heart.
The Villa is exceptionally well presented, all rooms immaculate. The garden is secure and very private. The pool great and the outdoor kitchen is fabulous.

We spent two weeks at this gorgeous location. The villa had everything we needed for our family of three young adult children. The space in the villa was perfect and the luxury of having a swimming pool and access to the beach gave us the best of both worlds. We had our own paddle boards and enjoyed the sea every day. Supermarket, restaurants and water activities were all accessible by foot or a short bike ride. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend this villa, we would love to return one day. Value for money: 5 Quality: 4 Welcome: 5 Corresponds to description: 5 Location: 5.
Our host, was friendly, welcoming and responsive to all our requests. The villa is superb, with great art and a lovely pool. The location is easily accessible (without a car) as we used local buses and trains from Beziers. The owner also kindly gave us a lift! We very much enjoyed our stay.

The house was exactly as shown in pictures, lovely and ideal for a large family, everything was immaculate, the garden, pool, etc where really nice and well taken care off.

Dear all, we have just returned from a lovely holiday in the great villa in Agde and wanted to thank you for your help in making this happen. He was a very kind and appreciative host and we loved the heated pool and hot tub. Our only suggestion for his future would be to have air conditioning installed in all the bedrooms. Mr and Mrs S, South France Villas client September 2023. Note- There is air-conditioning in the main house
Our family had a wonderful stay and we could not say enough great things about the property. The house is beautiful and comfortable. The backyard pool and patio exceeded our expectations. Booking and check-in were a breeze. We were sad to leave!
Can I start by saying we have immensely enjoyed staying at your beautiful house. We holidayed in the languedoc for Felicity’s first ten years, until she decided All Inclusive holidays were her thing! So coming back this year, her choice last minute, has been wonderful for us. We have decided to leave the house tomorrow to stay our last night in La Cite, Carcassonne. A trip down memory lane. So we will be leaving the house before 12pm. We will leave the keys in the lock box. Thanks again we will definitely recommend!
Villa was lovely, although we have stayed here before so knew what to expect.
The location for us is fine, but can be a very short drive to bars or restaurants. You can however easily walk to a baker/butcher/supermarket. For us though, everything about is perfect and the owner seems like a really decent guy. Would definitely stay here again and hope to do so.
