About this property

A historic atmosphere in an ideal location between the beaches and the Cévennes

We offer you pure relaxation at the former Prieuré Saint Martial.
The Prieuré Saint Martial in Alignan-du-Vent refers to a former
monastery that was likely built in the 8th century by monks of the Benedictine Order on
the site of what was originally a Roman villa. Parts of the bell tower and the fountains in the courtyard still survive from that period. In the 15th century, the monks built a new chapel—which still stands today—and in the 18th century, the entire monastery was expanded.
Decades later, the property passed into private ownership. Following this acquisition
, the entire estate was gradually and lovingly transformed into a magnificent
retreat for rest and relaxation. Today, the estate comprises
several apartments, all of which are privately owned and used by the owners
primarily as holiday homes, with some also being rented out to holidaymakers
. A beautiful, natural park filled with the cheerful chirping of birds and the buzzing of cicadas, two well-maintained swimming pools, and ample parking spaces are available to all co-owners and their holiday guests.PGJyPgPGJyPgOur cosy, loft-style “Chapitre” apartment, measuring approximately 56 m², features a slightly elevated sleeping area with a double bed (180 cm x 200 cm) and new spring mattresses (firmness levels 2 and 3), as well as a spacious living and dining area with an open fireplace. It features a new, fully equipped kitchen, including an oven, dishwasher, and washing machine. The bathroom has been renovated and is equipped with a wheelchair-accessible shower and a separate toilet. You access the sleeping area via a single step; the entire light-filled living/sleeping area is spacious and open-concept. The property is located in an oasis surrounded by vineyards in the Hérault department, in the Occitanie region of southern France. Private internet access (Wi-Fi) via fiber-optic line is available free of charge. A new, internet-enabled TV allows you to watch not only French but also German TV channels via the corresponding apps. The property also includes a front yard for your exclusive use, naturally equipped with patio furniture and a gas plancha.
The location between the two villages of “Tourbes” and “Alignan-du-Vent” is quiet; the
road connecting these villages runs past our property. It’s about a 2.5-km drive to the villages, where you’ll find both bakeries and
cafés, as well as a very typical, authentic Southern French atmosphere.
Pézenas is about 6 km away; it’s one of the most beautiful small towns in southern France, with
fascinating Renaissance-era buildings and one of the most beautiful markets
every Saturday.
We look forward to your visit.

A wonderful week!

We had a wonderful week at the property, the beautiful apartment was perfect for us, very well equipped, in lovely surroundings and the pool was amazing, our 9yr old daughter probably would have spent all week in it given half a chance. The whole place has a very relaxed feel to it, and was very welcoming. The check-in process worked well and Veronique was super helpful. We are looking forward to returning another time!

Erholsamer Aufenthalt im Prieurè St. Martial

Wir waren eine gute Woche Mitte April in der Wohnung Chapitre in der ehemaligen Klosteranlage Prieurè St. Martial und sind begeistert. Die Wohnung ist sehr liebevoll und hochwertig eingerichtet, die Ausstattung perfekt. Die Anlage ist etwas abseits, aber im Abstand weniger Kilometer von verschiedenen kleinen netten Ortschaften (mit Bäckereien) gelegen, herrlich ruhig und voller Vogelstimmen - wir lieben den Abendgesang der Nachtigallen. Die Gastgeber sind äußerst liebenswürdig und aufmerksam, die Kommunikation hervorragend. Wir können diese Oase nur empfehlen.

Tolle Ferienwohnung in toller ländlicher Umgebung

In der sehr schön möbilierten und vollständig eingerichteten Ferienwohnung haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Betonen möchte ich die ruhige und sehr schön angelegte Anlage in einem ehemaligem Kloster. Gerne kommen wir wieder!
