General Description
A charming French villa with pool set in the beautiful hillside of Montazels. With stunning views of the surrounding hillside and the infamous Rennes-le- Chateau, it is the ideal retreat for people who enjoy visiting cities and tourist attractions but like to have somewhere quiet to come and relax at the end of the day.
Modern and spacious inside with all the home comforts you could need. Each bedroom has stunning views of the surrounding hillside. On hot days, cool off in the clear, blue swimming pool flanked by a mature Mediterranean garden.
Recently decorated and with new furniture, this villa is light, spacious and immaculate throughout. With everything you could need to make your holiday as pleasureable as possible, this villa is a real home from home with the added bonus of a swimming pool, stunning views and wall to wall sunshine.
This area averages about 300 days of sunshine a year so the odds of bad weather are minimal.
The villa floor is stone tiled throughout making it very easy to keep clean. A large patio door from the lounge opens up onto the spacious stone terrace. Ideal for sun bathing. There is a downstairs shower room which is very useful after a swim. The pool is heated by the sun and so is only really useable from May to October. If you aren`t a sun worshipper, settle yourself under the covered veranda with a book and a glass of wine.
The bedrooms all look out to the hills and when the night falls, you can close the wooden shutters to ensure you wake up when you want to and not when the sun wants you to.
The garden has it`s own olive trees and fig trees which you are welcome to pick if you happen to be staying when they are ripe. The villa is set in 1000 sq metres of Mediterranean garden and is quite private.
There are supermarkets in Esperaza and Couiza (5 mins). Plenty of local speciality produce to try like the Blanquette (Champagne) and nougat.
I`m sure you will be very tempted to stay and relax at the villa each day but if you do fancy visiting one of the many attractions nearby, you will find it a very useful base for the beaches, the skiing, the mountains, the towns and the historical sites. In fact there is so much to see and do in this area, you may well find yourself coming back.
