La Maniere, Ideal Holiday Villa for Couples, Languedoc [HE001A]

Beautiful holiday home in Languedoc, South of France sleeps 2-3.

It is rare to find such a wonderful holiday villa to rent with pool and garden for just two to three people in the South of France - couples so often find themselves having to pay for much bigger holiday rental houses if they want to have use of a decent-sized swimming pool and large garden and air con! This is an ideal place for a honeymoon in Languedoc, South of France. The gite has a recently refurbished bedroom and children over 12 are welcome to use a fold out bed in the very spacious living room.

This modern Languedoc apartment is just outside a hill-top hamlet, which has long views over the Aude valley. On a clear day you can see the Pyrennees mountains in the far distance from the garden.

The large garden and luxurious swimming pool are a delight. A stand of mature pine trees leads to the well-kept lawn, interspersed with palms and flower beds.

The pool (12m x 6m x 0-1.6m deep) has a "Plage Californie" and is shared with the french owners, who are extremely discreet and tend not to use the pool until after 6pm, or at the week-end. The first floor apartment has its own completely independent and private entrance and car parking, a very spacious and comfortable place to stay in the South of France.

South of France Air conditioned Holiday villa for 2 or 3 in Languedoc,  all on 1st floor:

The spacious dining area and kitchen adjoin a most unusual sitting area, which could be described as a 'neo-classical salon'. It has a low sloping ceiling, in-built seating and a three-foot Bernini statue (not an original we hasten to add!).

A fold out bed is available in the living room for children over 12.
