On the very edge of Pézenas, Maison Mascarille reveals itself as a rare find in this much-loved Languedoc town. A renovated family home with a generous lawned garden and a private pool, it offers the ease of village living just a short stroll from artisan shops, cafés and the bustle of the famous Saturday morning market. Step inside to discover six bedrooms, an attractive living space and charming terraces made for long meals overlooking the garden and swimming pool.
The interiors are spacious and inviting, thoughtfully designed for family gatherings or holidays with friends. A bright open-plan living area connects effortlessly with a fully equipped kitchen, both flowing out onto the main terrace with steps down to the verdant garden and swimming pool below.
Each of the six bedrooms is air-conditioned for warm summer nights, and four sleek bathrooms add a sense of comfort and ease. Outside, the private garden is especially wonderful for such a centrally located house, offering room to dine al-fresco, swim in the pool or simply unwind.
From breakfast on the terrace to afternoons by the pool and al-fresco dinners on warm summer evenings, every corner of the outdoor grounds invites relaxation. Children can play on the lawn while adults watch-on, perhaps accompanied by a glass of local wine. For those who need to stay connected, the house is equipped with Wi-Fi and UK satellite TV, whilst a garage provides parking for four cars.
In just a couple of minutes on foot you will reach the historic heart of Pézenas, one of the region’s cultural gems. Cobbled streets weave through Renaissance architecture, artisan ateliers and sun-drenched cafés. The Saturday market is a must, overflowing with colour and local flavour, and look out for a wealth of vibrant festivities during the height of the summer.
When the sea calls, a 20 to 30-minute drive brings you to the sandy shores of Marseillan Plage or the vibrant beach scene at Cap d’Agde, where watersports, golf and beachfront dining await. You are also well placed for visiting wine villages, vineyards and oyster farms or venture a little further afield to the likes of Béziers and the Canal du Midi.
- Air-conditioning is featured in all bedrooms but not in the living-dining area.
