Comfortable and charmingly renovated luxurious holiday villas on a 12th Century wine estate with a beautiful pool and childrens play area set in a large lawned and wooded park in the midst of Languedocean vines.

Built in a classical Roman quadrangle the current construction was built during the 19th century. Until the mid 1990s the property was designated a \'chateau\' and was regarded as a quality wine producer within the region.Currently the Domaine has been lovingly restored, retaining many of the original features. It now offers 4 independent villas, all tastefully furnished with antiques and country furniture to the highest standard. Each villa is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, hob, oven, extractor hood, fridge freezer, private garden and BBQ area with garden furniture. The villas either have log burners and/or central heating. Domaine de St Ferreol offers a peaceful and luxurious haven in the heart of the Languedoc wine growing countryside. The large private swimming pool with roman steps (12m x 6 m) enjoys a very sunny position and is set in a secluded walled garden area, which is surrounded by 1 acre of park and is bordered by a small canal with panoramic views over the surrounding vineyards and the river. For a break from the sunshine enjoy a game of table tennis under the shade of the mature trees or play a traditional game of boules Wildlife is abundant in the parkland and owls have nested here for hundreds of years and are part of the Domaine\'s history. Stone statues of eagle owls can be found in the gardens, but watch out for the real pair that are currently nesting there and can be frequently heard a little after dusk and at dawn. There are also red squirrels to look out for. You are free to roam the estate and surrounding land, which is ideal for hikers to discover the local charming villages or just take a leisurely walk through the surrounding vineyards where there are many secluded areas to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Your Accommodation There are 4 fully independent villas attached in different ways around the Domaine\'s courtyard. Each villa has its own private entrance and sun drenched garden or garden area with a BBQ and garden table and chairs and umbrella ideal for al fresco dining in the long summer evenings. Careful attention has been taken to restore and retain original features in each property, from the heavily beamed ceilings to exposed stonewalls and one of the villas has an ancient Catalan fireplace. Each villa can house up to 8 people and has 2/3 bedrooms and 1or 2 bathrooms with showers and /or baths and most have separate WCs. Cots are available by request. The interiors are cool and spacious furnished with country period furniture and comfortable chairs in a rustic French style, capturing the local colour and ambience. Each living room has French doors opening out into private gardens, which creates a light and pleasant atmosphere. There are log burning stoves in 2 of the Villas for those cooler nights. Kitchens are country farmhouse style and are fully equipped with all modern amenities such as dishwasher, full size oven and all necessary cooking utensils and, for those who enjoy cooking, take a walk down to our vegetable garden for a plentiful supply of herbs. If you want a break or just wish to sample some delicious local dishes, our resident French Chef offers a mouth-watering menu for evening meals, paella being one of her popular specialities. Cots and high chairs are available upon request. Fresh bread and croissants are delivered each morning A communal utility room provides washing machines and dryer facilities There is ample private parking at the property and away from the main living areas Shopping for food is within easy reach at the local village shops in Lezignan la Cebe and Paulhan that have small grocery stores and local bakeries.
