About this villa rental
Three-bedroomed air-conditioned family villa, superbly equipped, located on the southern edge of Cessenon-sur-Orb in the Languedoc. The villa is set on a hillside in 1 hectare of landscaped gardens with an unoverlooked private swimming pool. It has its own small vineyard. There are stunning views from both the patio area and the pool area. The villa is just 10 minutes walk from the centre of Cessenon, where there are restaurants, bars and shops. Cessenon is a lively town with a market 2 days a week. There are many lovely walks in the area including part of a GR route. Cycling routes are well-signed. Canoeing on the River Orb is available nearby. The historic town of Beziers is 30 minutes away by car. Other places of interest are the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne and Narbonne.

Wonderful, very well equiped (especially for cooking) house with spectacular views. Very private and extremely comfortable. The aircon in all the bedrooms worked very well and was much appreciated during the heat of our stay. The driveway up to the house is a little adventurous but no issues (unless you a very low slung car perhaps) and it is certainly worth the minimal effort! Extra mention for the bathrooms which were lovely.Kids loved exploring the grounds and we enjoyed the peace (when the kids allowed!). Communication with the owner Bill was easy and responsive.

We have just returned from the most fabulous week at this wonderful villa with our adult children. Bill couldn’t have been more helpful prior to us arriving answering many emails quickly and with patience.
We found the directions and the road to the Villa much easier than anticipated… we have a hybrid mini which managed the drive with ease..
The villa is outstanding it has absolutely everything you would need for a stay and although we had five adults in the villa we never felt on top of each other… The villa was impeccably clean and the welcome pack was very much appreciated and contained everything we needed for the first night.
We felt it an absolute privilege to be able to experience this accommodation and although we originally had many day trips planned we barely left the villa for the entirety of our stay… thank you so much Bill , we can’t recommend this highly enough

there were a couple of draw-backs.
First the very many positives; the house was clean and well furnished. Obviously a family home as the kitchen came equipped with nice touches such as a welcome hamper and drawers containing the essentials with which to prepare meals. There were a good supply of toiletries and soft towels including some for
the pool. All in all from the interior and the pool this was one of the best villas we have enjoyed in all our years travelling France.
However there were two worrying aspects. Firstly the access to the house was through the tortuous village of Cessenon-sur-Orb with its tiny streets that became narrower and more hilly as we neared the house. The drive was almost impassable being narrow, lumpy overgrown. This was with the latest and most powerful 4x4 currently on the market. We discussed at length whether a standard family car would have made it up the drive without sustaining damage and we were all firm in the belief it would not. Secondly the aspect of the house was firmly south facing so trying to find shade was very difficult. We tried using the parasols but the wind precluded their use most of the time. The built in BBQ around the pool was unusable as it was in full sun until 9pm with temperatures on the terrace approaching 40 degrees. Even after sunset the area was too hot to use. Nearly all the windows faced south which resulted in the shutters to the house having to be closed all the time . This was a great shame considering the magnificent views.
So, in conclusion, we had an enjoyable stay but beware the negatives that precluded this from being exceptional.

Dealing with the owner was a pleasure from first enquiry to return of deposit. All mails responded to in excellent time.
The villa is amazing, the online photos do not due it justice.
Very spacious and well equipped.
The pool area is excellent with a nice summer kitchen area, not overlooked at all.
