Photos and Description of the Lodeve vacation villa rental
Spacious Villa With 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6

Situated in the hills above the medieval market town of Lodève, Villa les Mimosas is a luxurious architect-designed villa with magnificent, uninterrupted 180-degree views over the town and to the beautiful hills beyond.

South facing, spacious and flooded with that special South of France light, the villa is elegantly furnished to a high standard. A vast, open plan living area, three generous bedrooms and three bathrooms make this a truly spectacular villa decorated with style, creating an ambience ideal for a relaxing holiday.

The pool and entertaining areas and two of the bedrooms share the glorious views across the valley to the mountains, with little villages dotted here and there in the distance. In the evening the floodlit spires of the Cathedral of Lodève, surrounded by the town lights, makes a spectacular vista.

The large sitting area is comfortably furnished with sofas and armchairs; the soaring ceiling has magnificent beams. For your entertainment there’s a TV with satellite (UK free to air channels, Sky+ Digibox, (which will allows guests to easily record up to 2 programmes simultaneously and pause programmes if required) plus French channels, DVD player, video and sound system.

Up two steps is the stylish oak dining setting for six people. The entire area has floor to ceiling windows and large sliding doors opening to the terrace.

Very well equipped, the kitchen has a breakfast bar to separate it from the dining area. There’s a full size American fridge/freezer with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, electric induction hob and oven, kettle, toaster, etc.

A door leads out to a covered terrace with a built in BBQ, outdoor dining setting, cane sofa and armchairs for relaxing.

A raised deck overlooking the pool is ideal for sunbathing. If you’d like something a little more energetic, to the rear of the property is a boules pitch, with boules provided for your use.

The pool surround is tiled and the surrounding garden landscaped with native plants. The pool, 9 x 4.5 m, 1 to 1.5m deep, is entered by three steps. It has a wrought iron, gated fence around it for safety, plus an alarm.

On the ground floor, one bedroom has twin beds with a spacious bathroom opposite; the bathroom has a big shower, washbasin and there is a separate WC.

The bustling market town of Lodève, just 5 minutes’ drive from the villa, has shops, supermarkets, restaurants, a large weekly street market, bike hire and a highly regarded museum with excellent exhibitions, particularly of well-known artists, throughout the year. The surrounding hills and countryside are ideal for walking and cycling, and there is a multitude of local places of historic interest to visit.

Whether you’re looking for sand and the sea, fabulous historic towns, picturesque Medieval villages, French sophistication, the region is so diversified you’ll find it all on your doorstep. You’ll certainly find the sun, with over 300 days of sunshine per year on average.

There’s are plenty of clean, sandy Mediterranean beaches an hour's drive away. For swimming, fishing and non-motorised water sports try popular Lac Salagou.

Seafood is one of the area’s best kept secrets, with colourful fishing villages along this part of the French Mediterranean coast providing fabulous feasts. Sete is one of the most popular; pretty little Meze with its small sandy beach is also highly recommended. You can dine extremely well on the fresh local seafood, enjoying the sunshine looking over the sparkling Mediterranean sea.

You’ll find excellent shopping and good restaurants in the swish and lively university town of Montpellier, which has an International airport and train station only one hour by car.

History unfolds itself with a visit to Carcassonne and the Cathar castles, which are within easy reach. Take a drive up to the Larzac plain to marvel at the amazingly well preserved fortified 15th century villages built by the Templar and Hospitaliers Knights.

The stunning Gorges du Tarn, with magnificent scenery and numerous exceptionally picturesque villages can be visited in a day.

If you want to get active, try the recommended golf course at scenic Lamalou les Bains, a 40 minute drive, hiking in unspoilt forests or cycle some of the Tour de France route, which passes somewhere nearby every year.

Within easy reach are so many other fantastic French towns such as Avignon, Nimes, the beautiful port of Collioure. The Spanish border is only an hour and a half’s drive.

Languedoc is the largest wine producing area in France and there are many tasting opportunities to be found in ‘cave co-operatives’ and private domains. Late August/early September is a good time to visit, when the grape harvest is in full swing.

First class property

  • Submitted: Jan 1, 2013
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
“Many thanks for organising the Villa Les Mimosas. We had a fantastic stay
with great weather only wish we could have stayed for two weeks!!
The villa was even better that we had ever expected and it truly is a first
class property. Everything is clean and modern with everything you could
possibly need. The air conditioning was such a bonus as the week was
extremely hot. The views were outstanding.
Lodeve itself had everything you could possibly need for your holiday -
including English newspapers available on the same day as published from 11
am. All other food and shopping requirements were available and most open
on Sunday morning.”
