Driving up to the property each day is a joy in itself, along a long straight road lined either side with beautiful tall trees, vineyards to the left and right with the sunlight slipping between the branches. Iâm not doing it justice, Itâs wonderful every time you come home. Capestang is a 1 minute drive away at the most.
Capestang is a charming and quaint french town with tons of character, Although its rural itâs got everything youâd need including 2 big supermarkets and a petrol station.
The house itself is stunning and a sort of mid point between modern interior design and traditional french farm house, but in all the right ways. I loved the modern living room, bathrooms, bedrooms and pool area but not as much as the traditional farmhouse kitchen.
The living room is enormous and beautifully decorated, three large patio doors open to a view of all of Capestang over the vineyards. Breathing views that youâd never get bored of looking at.
The pool was crystal clear every day, the perfect temperature to cool off in and in its own enclosed gated garden which we loved as we could lock the kids in or out. The garden is also huge and well kept.
The bathrooms are clean and modern, the water pressure is great, the wifi is speedy if you need it, the views are superb.
Phil is a brilliant host, friendly and accommodating and always quick to reply to messages or emails.
In summary just book this place, its great, you wont regret it and youâll never want to leave.
Das Haus ist sehr gerĂ€umig und der Poolbereich ist einfach toll. Leider gibt es nicht im gesamten Haus eine Klimaanlage. Da wir einige Tage wirklich sehr hohe Temperaturen ĂŒber 40 grad hatten war das vor allem mit den Kindern in der Nacht sehr grenzwertig. Die tragbaren GerĂ€te sind bei solchen Temperaturen leider nicht zu gebrauchen. Etwas Nachbesserungsbedarf gibt es auch beim Besteck in der KĂŒche ( das war fĂŒr 8 Personen einfach zu wenig). Aber das ist klagen auf hohem Niveau. Trotzdem hatten wir einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt und können das Haus auf jeden Fall empfehlen.
This was the loveliest but dirtiest and problematic house we have ever rented. The house and views are spectacular but on arrival the house was not clean and had several maintenance issues. The kitchen was not clean with dirty cutlery and saucepan draws and cobwebs in all the cupboards and on the cooker hood. The bathroom toilet was broken, the shower tray In upstairs en-suite would not drain and smelt very unpleasant, the u-bend in kitchen sink leaked and flooded kitchen floor, the dishwasher had no salt on arrival and the swimming pool filter was not working properly which meant we had to clean pool every morning for at least half an hour and living room was so dusty you could write and did, âclean meâ in the dust on the TV and table football table. Majority of issues were raised with owner during our stay and they did try to address but the point being they should have been fixed before our arrival. Three bottles of wine to apologise did not cut it, especially as we found out the owners had been there the week and should have fixed the known problems in their own time and not our precious holiday time!!
A really lovely house for a family holiday. Ideally located in the region with lots to see and do. The house was bigger that expected and the outdoor areas were really good - a fantastic pool. No issues with the host (Phil) who was really helpful. Highly recommended!
A lovely hot August fortnight for eight (6 adults & 2 children) at this house just outside Capestang. Close enough for the town's shops and market, but in a quiet hamlet.
The pool was a godsend in a heatwave of 30C+ everyday. Pleasant shade under the trees.
There is air-conditioning in the kitchen/dining area, and fans are available in the rest of the house. Plenty of bathrooms, too - a must. Lots of room for our group to spread out, too.
Great beaches and mountains are within reach, as well as city sightseeing in Beziers and Narbonne. There's no chance of running out of things to do.
All in all an enjoyable stay in a comfy house with everything you could need.
We had the most amazing holiday. The property has everything you need and more. The pool is crystal clear and everyone had a great time relaxing by it and playing in it. The space gave us lots of places to sit and enjoy the sun and, when needed, the welcome shade. We visited lakes nearby and one in Carcassonne that had a large inflatable water park which the children and adults both enjoyed. We visited local beaches and enjoyed the cafes along the seafront. We visited the Aqua Park twice and visited Bezier several times for lunch. The local village was friendly and the markets vibrant. The holiday was exactly as we had hoped, from the ease of booking, Phil was beyond helpful, to the support from Christine and family whilst we were there. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this property for all ages as it gives the perfect combination of a relaxed and chilled break to a full and exciting holiday. All we can say is, thank you!
The property is located outside Capestang in the middle of vineyards so car needed for shopping . Spacious accommodation with great views .
Amazing pool !âŠwith platform for children . A blessing as the heat was intense reaching 40 o .
Phil the owner was very accommodating and so helpful .
The villa could benefit with the installation of an air con system throughout the property particularly the rooms upstairs as the fans didnât really cool the sleeping areas .
I would definitely recommend renting this holiday villa perfect for a family with children.
Great communication with the owner, great facilities for children & pool was fab. We didn't venture out much but walked into Capestang with children a few times. Excellent views and lovely quiet location-exactly what we wanted.
We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful house. It is so relaxing, spacious and well equipped. We all adored the pool and really appreciated how child friendly it was. Given we have children of 2, 5 and 7 it was a challenge for us to find a suitable place for our holiday - Grand Saint Nazaire and the surrounding towns and cities proved perfect. We hope to be able to come back again next year!
Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The villa itself is spacious and well decorated with comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms.
The outdoor space is superb and very safe for young children.
The walk into Capestang took a little longer than we had hoped (1 hour from villa to square) but that was with 2 Prams and a 4 yr old! A very pleasant 40 min walk with able adults!
Phil, the owner, was excellent at responding to any queries we had. Christine, the local contact, was also very helpful.
There are several wonderful daytrips in the surrounding region.
Would definitely recommend this villa.
The house is a mixture of an old French farmhouse and modern apartments. Gorgeous view to the really lovely village of Capestang. Nicely renovated bedrooms with marvelous bathrooms under the roof. The beds are really comfy! The kitchen was very well equipped. The pool area is also very beautiful and we all had a lot of fun in the really spacious pool. We had a wonderful time and a perfect stay at Grand Saint Nazaire. Phil was a perfect host and could be reached at any time.
As our flight landed early the owner was kind enough to let us drop of bags and change before we disappeared to visit a local village (Bizes-Minervois) that the owner recommended.
The house was the perfect set up for us - we were two families of 2 adults and 2 children and the house is set up very well to slightly separate the sleeping areas with 3 beds and bathrooms on both the first and second floor. The views from the living room and table area around the front of the house are stunning and look back at the town of capestang. We also sat and had a drink watching the sunset there each evening.
The pool area is very private and well set up for young children as it has a shallow area the little ones can play in and the pool has a gate and alarm.
We will certainly return.
We had a wonderful family get-together at Grand St. Nazaire. The house was perfect for our two families. Lots of space for is all to gather, or to get away from each other if needed! The pool area was great and we had loads of fun there. It was, without doubt, the best holiday we have had in a long time. The area had so many things to do - some highlights being Carcassone, Beziers, canoeing at Roquebrun and the ropes course at Beziers Adventures. Phil was a wonderful host and ensured that everything went smoothly for us. We hope to be back!
The property was immaculate when we got there and the children were in the fantastic pool before the suitcases had come out of the car. Loads of space and very well kitted out, the nearby town is lovely and we had a couple of very nice meals in the pizza restaurant by the church (choose the oysters and prawns) I would recommend this property to anyone - we had a superb time
