A comfortable, recently restored family holiday home in a wine producing village near Pezenas, South of France. The house is only a few minutes walk from local amenities. The garden is private and has a heated pool with bubble jets.

The holiday property was traditionally built with local stone at the beginning of the 20th Century and until recently the house was used in the traditional sense as a "Maison Vigneronne", with generations of winemakers storing their wine in the cuves.

Now lovingly restored, this 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house can be enjoyed as a family holiday home with all the modern comforts one would hope for such as Wi-Fi (Fibre installed 2022), reversible air-conditioning and a private heated pool.
