If you, like us, love the thought of having a holiday in the radiant sun of the Mediterranean with its golden beaches, rivers and lakes, mountains, vineyards, mediaeval villages and amazing cuisine, then you are the right people to enjoy a vacation in our villa! My husband John & I brought up our 5 children in England. Jobs and modern life has meant many of us now live long distances apart and our villa has become an important focal point where all the family can meet up regularly to spend family events & many holidays together. We are pleased to be able to offer our holidaymakers from all over the world the same ideal setting for memorable holidays, meeting up with their family & friends in the comfort of this beautiful villa.
purchased this villa in 2002
Why chose Grabels
Villa des Cigales is extremely well situated between the golden beaches , & the natural Camargue with its famous flamingos & lively fishing harbour towns (25 minutes), & the mountains with rivers and gorges and medieval villages (also 25 minutes). In addition the beautiful historic city of Montpellier with its vibrant streets, boutiques, restaurants and cultural events, just 10 minutes away by car, or 20 minutes by tram from the end of our village right up to the Place de la Comédie in the centre. The village itself offers a whole variety of shopping facilities, with its weekly open-air market, two bakeries, butcher with excellent daily freshly prepared dishes, and take-away pizzeria, & a bar opposite where you can enjoy a glass of wine or beer, while your pizzas are prepared for you.
What makes this villa unique
The villa itself is set in its own grounds, with plenty of space, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, terraces to the front and the back of the house, very private with fencing and hedging along all the borders of the garden and lock-up gates with ample parking space for several cars. A Hammock invites young and old to dream away under the trees. There is a swing under the shade of an olive tree for the little ones and a ping pong table for the sporty ones. There is a badminton set for the terrace and the pool area has a variety of inflatable pool toys. It is entirely possible & very tempting to stay put in the comfort and tranquillity of the villa and the pool, doing all your food shopping in the local village if you wish to be really lazy without venturing to explore the surrounding area.
