Wonderful house with a lovely host
Posted Jul. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayDriving 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. I’m not doing it justice, It’s 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 it’s got everything you’d 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 you’d 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 you’ll never want to leave.

Le Grand St Nazaire
Posted Jul. 3, 2023 on HomeAwayThis 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, ‘clean me’ 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!!
Comment from Hotel Management

Thank you for your booking and for your feedback, which is really important to us.
We are pleased that our house is the loveliest you have ever rented and are sorry that not everything was what you hoped for.
Our housekeeper and cleaner do a very thorough job of preparing he house for new guests. We apologise for the areas which you found had not been cleaned. Christine is always on hand if she is made aware that some housekeeping still needs to be done, eg dusting or refilling salt in the dishwasher. The leak under the sink had been repaired prior to your arrival. We are sorry that this was not successful and needed to be fixed again. The house has four bathrooms and one downstairs cloakroom. Unfortunately, during your stay, the refill mechanism in one of the cisterns was running on. The required part arrived and the toilet has been restored to full working order. Our handyman could find no blockage in the shower tray nor could he detect an unpleasant smell. There is, as in most showers, a squeegee to get rid of any residual water. I am pleased to report that the pool filtration system has no fault and continued to provide crystal clear water throughout the week. It's advisable that every day, at certain times of year, guests use the net for scooping out any dead insects or leaves. Best wishes Phil and Hazel

A gorgeous house in a great location
Posted Jun. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayA 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!

Hot holiday in hamlet house
Posted Sep. 8, 2022 on HomeAwayA 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.

Posted Aug. 27, 2022 on HomeAwayWe 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!

Capestang Summer 2022
Posted Jul. 25, 2022 on HomeAwayThe property is located outside Capestang in the middle of vineyards so car needed for shopping . Spacious accommodation with great views .
Amazing pool !…with 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 didn’t really cool the sleeping areas .
I would definitely recommend renting this holiday villa perfect for a family with children.

Fabulous stay!
Posted Jul. 15, 2019 on HomeAwayWe 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!
