Villa des Lavandes: modern 3-storey villa with swimming pool in Castelnau (Montpellier)
- From 2,750€/per week
The Villa des Lavandes is ideally positioned on a small hill, two minutes away from the historic centre of the charming, ancient village of Castelnau, at the gates of the city of Montpellier, with easy access to the beaches, the airport and a vast array of unmissable cultural sites.
With a garden of 850 m2, complemented by a swimming pool with sun loungers and a table tennis table, this villa provides all the outdoor entertainment one could need under the Mediterranean sun. The outdoor dining area for 8, under the canopy of a large shade sail and with its accompanying plancha, is sure to make those sultry summer evenings a memory you will take home with you. The separate summer lounge, composed of two large sofas and an array of armchairs, with the option of a large parasol, allows you to relax by the poolside for hours on end.
The path to the villa’s main entrance, playfully scattered with patches of lavender and palm trees, leads you to this peaceful, private residence, completely safe from prying eyes. With 200 m2 spread over three storeys, Villa des Lavandes offers a large living room fitted with comfortable leather sofas and a fireplace, followed by an open kitchen and dining room which give directly onto the east and south gardens through large floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The kitchen has an island with a breakfast bar, as well as an additional dining table which seats up to 8 guests.
A few steps up from the entrance level, a corridor leads to the master bedroom, with a private terrace, an en-suite shower room and a dressing room. Another three bedrooms (two double bedrooms and a single bedroom with a high sleeper bed) share a family bathroom. A few steps down from the entrance level, you will find another double bedroom with a separate shower room, as well as an office area with a desk and sofa.
Private parking for one car is available on the property, with street parking beyond. Public transport is easily accessible, with bus and tram stops close by. Everything one could need is within short walking distance: a bakery, butchers, greengrocers, a cheesemonger and wine merchant, and the village’s outdoor market every Tuesday and Saturday.
The centre of Castelnau-le-Lez is a labyrinth of enchanting alleyways and crisscrossing stairways, opening onto a main square with restaurants and wine bars, and connecting to the Lez river and its charming paths that will make you think you are in a painting (which might have been true in the 19th century, when local painter Frédéric Bazille captured a family reunion in the area, now on display at the Musée d’Orsay).
