This villa welcomes visitors into a traditional double-height foyer with a staircase, and immediately after, a generous 60-square-metre south-facing living room and open dining area. French windows in this room open straight onto the garden, where a couple of wooden deck chairs sit in a peaceful environment, perfect for an afternoon nap. The partly open Provençal-style kitchen is equipped with all modern appliances and a dining area. The ground floor has one double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. This room has access to a private terrace with a table for two, in front of the garden.
Upstairs, there are two other bedrooms. The main bedroom is equipped with an exercise bicycle and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub. This bedroom enjoys access to a large south-facing private terrace with a deck chair and plants. The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room and views all around over the trees. The landing extends to create a small sitting area, from where a spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine with an extra bed.
The rooftop terrace has stunning views over Pic Saint-Loup and the green hills around the property. It is equipped with a dining table for an al fresco drink with a view.
The mature garden is a mixture of local species and tall palm trees that offer pleasant shade to keep you cool under the summer sun. The focal point is the geometrically shaped overflow swimming pool. Next to it, you will find a pool house fitted with a barbecue and a covered dining area for 8, as well as a gas barbecue and a mini-fridge. Around the garden, you will also find a ping-pong table, garden sofas in the shade and sun loungers.
There is a private parking area for up to 2 cars inside the property.
This stylish villa is ideal for families looking to relax in comfort in the best part of Montpellier. The property is also an ideal starting point to explore the South of France: Lac du Salagou and the village and abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert are within easy reach by car, and in an hour you can reach Nîmes with its spectacular Roman ruins. Further afield, you can visit the walled medieval cities of Carcassonne and La Couvertoirade. Finally, you cannot miss the medieval city centre of Montpellier (10 minutes by car) and the nearest beaches (20 minutes by car).
