Nestled in the peaceful village of Fontanès, just outside Montpellier, Villa Ricôme offers a refined escape in the heart of southern France’s unspoiled nature. Overlooking the rolling vineyards of the Languedoc and the iconic silhouette of Pic Saint-Loup, this villa harmoniously blends Tuscan elegance with Provençal charm.
Evoking the elegance of a Florentine residence, this 280 m² villa stands on the edge of the village, offering absolute tranquillity and exceptional panoramic views. Ideally located near the Hérault River, Mediterranean beaches, and numerous traditional villages, Villa Ricôme is the perfect starting point for discovering the region’s renowned gastronomy, exceptional wines, and magnificent natural landscapes.
Inside the Villa – Space, Comfort and Elegance
Step into an atmosphere of understated luxury, where historic charm meets contemporary design. The spacious living room, bathed in natural light thanks to its east-west dual exposure, opens directly onto a large sun-drenched terrace and an Italian-style garden. Carefully curated interiors combine antique furniture with design pieces to create a timeless ambiance.
The dining room comfortably seats 8 guests, while the fully equipped adjacent kitchen features four ovens (2 conventional, 1 steam, 1 microwave), an American-style fridge/freezer, and a generous pantry with an additional refrigerator and laundry facilities.
The villa offers four spacious and elegantly appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom or shower room, air conditioning, and premium bedding worthy of the finest hotels.
The ground-floor suite features a 180 x 200 cm bed and a private terrace with breathtaking views of Pic Saint-Loup and the surrounding vineyards.
Upstairs, accessed via an elegant wrought iron and marble staircase, you will find three additional suites, an office with a dedicated workspace suitable for remote working, and a peaceful reading corner.
Outdoor Living – Provençal Lifestyle at Its Finest
Surrounded by a landscaped 1,500 m² garden, Villa Ricôme offers the perfect setting to relax under the southern sun or unwind in the shade. The saltwater swimming pool (10 x 4.5 m, 1.75 m depth) provides refreshing relief after a sun-filled afternoon, with 8 sun loungers available for your comfort.
Gather around the outdoor dining table beneath the parasol to enjoy al fresco meals prepared on the Weber barbecue, or savour a glass of local wine in the outdoor lounge for a moment of comfort and absolute serenity.
For leisure and entertainment, enjoy pétanque, table tennis, or Scandinavian skittles, all available on site.
