Holiday home - St Pons de Mauchiens, France

Description

On the outskirts of the medieval village of Saint Pons de Mauchiens, in the Hérault, this large vacation home with private pool is located in a charming enclosed garden, just 14 km from the Bassin de Thau and 30 km from the sea, between Pézénas and Saint Pargoire, surrounded by vineyards. It has a large southeast terrace. The large patio doors lead from the living room directly into nature. One of the bedrooms faces the garden. Enjoy sunbathing in the garden in the shallow shade of the fruit trees and pines, or under one of the many umbrellas. Even the total sun worshippers will get their money's worth, because sun areas are everywhere.

Here meet the watercourses of the Hérault and the Canalet , which comes from the Atlantic. The many works of art that line the Canal du Midi are also a delight. Other sites include the Cevennes, a magnificent natural landscape and the hiking trails to St Jacques de Compostela.
