Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This historic home is a rare gem. Nestled among a working vineyard, close to the heart of Montpellier, this 18th-century residence has been lovingly restored to blend classic character and contemporary comfort. From the chic rooms and plush furnishings to the elegant garden with its sunny terrace, every detail has been hand-picked with care. There’s even a heated pool tucked inside an antique greenhouse – one of the most charming swimming spots we’ve seen. While you’re here, don’t miss a private tasting of the estate’s very own wine. It’s the perfect tipple to toast an extra-special stay.

Home truths
The sixth bedroom is a twin and connected to one of the double bedrooms, making it a good option for families.
While toddlers and children are welcome, this home isn't suitable for babies under 12 months old.
You'll have exclusive use of the house, gardens, and pool here. However, the house is part of a working vineyard, so there are outbuildings and a wine cellar that are only accessible by prior arrangement, like during a tasting or tour.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Free private parking is available.
