Description of objectIn an old Maison Vigneronne, or winemaker's house, the perfect hideaway has been created: a moment out of place and time, a haven of peace and tranquility but an easy amble from the bustle of the main quaysides.The gem is the swimming pool, the perfect privacy of an oasis in the sky, with high stone walls to protect guests from the Languedoc breezes and prying eyes. Terracota tiles and pots of olive trees as the backdrop to sunloungers and deckchairs. Under the shade of a veranda an outside sitting room, dining area and summer-kitchen with barbecue make this terrace the true heart of the house. On the first floor is a second terrace, a south-facing sun trap for guests who want a private moment under the summer skies. There are three bedrooms in this family home, and an extra sleeping area in the top floor mezzanine salon. The split level reception room - with plenty of sofas and armchairs for relaxing indoors - is bright, open plan and has plenty of corners for hiding with a good book, sprawling with friends over a bottle of Picpoul de Pinet and rambling annecdotes, or settling down at a desk by the window to write postcards home. Up the contemporary spiral staircase to the large mezzanine level, with its single bed, well stocked bookcases and panoramic window with view across your neighbours rooftops to the lagoon and hills beyond. The house itself is bright and sunny, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, the top floor boasting another double bedroom, plus the mezzanine room and an extra shower room. Two of the bedrooms have double beds. The third room, with a sofa bed, doubles as a den. Two of the bedrooms have doors opening out directly to the swimming pool. The house has plenty of special nooks for relaxing, so there is always a corner for private reflection on lazing on the grass with a good book. So do make sure that you stock up on your holiday reading - where better to catch up with all those novels you never have time to wallow in at home. The living room opens out into a fitted family kitchen and there is a washing machine in the utility area of the double garage on the ground floor. Location of objectAt the heart of old Marseillan since before even the ancient Greeks discovered this little corner of heaven on earth 2000 years ago, this rive droit of the port has echoed to the fortunes of the village for countless generations.Here barrels once rolled down to the waterfront to be loaded onto barges ... and here, by the lagoon, the fishermen and winegrowers Marseillan have lived for thousands of years. You can find fine food in the markets and groceries of Marseillan and neighbouring villages, Great wines at the Taverne, a hundred yards away, good local tipples at the wine cellars of your neighbours in the quarter, and the legendary Noilly Prat apero just across the water. So plenty of options for celebrating by the side of your own private pool. Just minutes from the house find the local shops at the top of the port for the odd bottle of wine or baguette or a last minute bite for the evening meal. In Summertime, Marseillan has plenty of distractions to lure you along the quays into the village, along the waterfront to the oyster-beds or vineyards, to the park or the little plagette by Port Tabarka or to drive along the road to the seaside attractions of Marseillan Plage.- just five minutes by car from the house. June sees the Fete de la Musique, with bands playing in the squares and on the quaysides of the old village, summer a lively music fest by the beaches and the itinerant latin music fiesta on barges in the port. Quiet recitals in the churches out of season and the winter and autumn charms of the Jazzinade jam sessions in the old theatre - music calls you out at night, whatever the season in Marseillan. Of course, with open plan living at the villa, the modern kitchen giving out to the smart tiled living and dining toom, and the prospect of a barbecue by the pool, you may not want to leave the villa!Town: France, Marseillan Etang de Thau, Marseillan VilleMarseillan is a beautiful gem - the last unspoilt port on the French Mediterranean. The British press call it St-Tropez before Bardot, the French call it Paradis sur Terre - sheer heaven on earth. A fishing village, surrounded by vineyards, its port quaysides and cobbled village streets home to two dozen restaurants, ranging from favourites of the French food guides to simple seafood cafes serving the fresh oysters farmed in the very oyster beds you can see from your window.Arrival and distancesArrival day: negotiableDistance to next airport: Beziers Cap d'Agde 15 Km Distance to next trainstation: Agde 7 Km Distance to next motorway: A9 20 Km Sport facilities nearbyCanoeing, Cycling, Fishing, Golf, Hiking, Horse riding, Inlineskating, Mountainbiking, Paragliding, Sailing, Swimming, Tennis, Water ski,Theme of holidays
