Framed by two hectares of garden lawns and woodland, Domaine Massot is a grand yet welcoming 19th-century estate just a short drive from the vibrant town of Béziers.
Originally established in 1816 and lovingly rebuilt at the turn of the century in the style of an Italian villa, this former winemaker’s domaine invites guests into a world where tradition and charm meet beneath the southern French sun.
Across its three expansive floors, this home offers a collection of beautifully proportioned rooms, where original architectural features blend effortlessly with family-friendly comforts. The charming kitchen features a range oven, while a breakfast room and formal dining space make mealtimes a pleasure. The main salon flows directly onto the outdoor dining terrace and pool area, creating a seamless link between indoor and alfresco living. With Wi-Fi throughout and generous sleeping arrangements spread across eight bedrooms, Domaine Massot offers space to unwind and reconnect, sleeping up to 14 guests.
Outside, the estate is a paradise for both relaxation and play. The vast lawned garden is perfect for afternoon games, while a completely private 13-metre pool encourages lazy swims and lively rounds of pool volleyball. Badminton, table tennis and open countryside access provide plenty to fill sunny days, while a handpicked selection of good local wines on arrival sets a welcoming tone from the moment you arrive.
Perfectly placed just 2.5km from the village of Maureilhan, it’s an easy drive for morning croissants and fresh bread. The Mediterranean coastline is within a 20 to 30-minute drive, offering sandy beaches at Vendres, Sérignan, and Valras-Plage, while charming towns like Capestang and the historic Canal du Midi are close by. With Béziers, Carcassonne and Montpellier all wonderful days out, this is an ideal base for exploring the cultural and culinary delights of southern France.
Whether enjoying long lunches on the terrace or exploring nearby markets, vineyards and beaches, Domaine Massot offers a timeless setting for unforgettable moments.
- On the opposite side of the chateau’s large gated courtyard there is a private house, however this no way interferes with the privacy of the garden, terrace and swimming pool.
- While the total capacity is 16 guests, the domaine is only available for a maximum of 14 guests.
- Please note, the swimming pool is not fenced off, so young children must be closely supervised.
