About the home

Villa Cachet is full of lovely surprises. It appears to be smart village house from the front - but when you open the door you'll see through the hallway the enormous floor to ceiling windows of the main living room making for a very light and airy living space.

This completely and stylishly renovated barn conversion has a private swimming pool, a secluded courtyard garden and a garage for your car. There are 3 double bedrooms in the main house and a further double bedroom, en-suite and sitting room in the 'atelier', a further separate building in the garden with private accommodation for two people.

It makes this villa ideal for an extended family, or for a group of friends holidaying together.

On the ground foor of the main house is a spacious open-plan living space with a sitting area, a dining area and a fully fitted modern kitchen. The secluded courtyard lends itself to alfresco barbecueing on a balmy summer evening and you will enjoy a cooling dip in the swimming pool with a decked surround, with ample sun-loungers provided for your use.

One of the most stunning features of the villa is that the 1st floor bedrooms, whilst private, overlook the main living area and courtyard through large windows, each with an attractive juliette balcony.

The village is in one of the sunniest areas of the South of France and is full of authentic French charm. You can sip a glass of cold rose or a pastis in the quaint village square. There's a few shops including a bar/restaurant and a boulangerie, so you can walk out for your morning bread and croissants.

Autignac is situated in beautiful, gently rolling, countryside and is surrounded by vineyards. It's about a 25 minute drive from the town of Beziers and 35 minutes from the Mediterranean coast.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region

This part of the Languedoc has a sunny Mediterranean climate. It can be hot in summer, but the temperature is often tempered by a breeze. Now the 3rd most visited region in France by British people, the Languedoc offers something for everyone.

Miles of long, sandy beaches, coastal lagoons, vibrant cities such as Beziers, Narbonne and Montpellier, historical sites such as the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne and the Cathar castles, fabulous scenery, great cuisine and vineyards, vineyards, vineyards.

The Beziers / Autignac area

The village of Autignac is a lovely old unspoiled French village - principally involved with wine-making as it is in the Faugeres wine area. The architecture is very interesting and it has an attractive village square. There's a bar-restaurant, a grocery shop, a bakery, a pharmacy and a post office - all within walking distance of the property.

For further shops, a bank, restaurants and cafes, and a larger supermarket you would go to Magalas which is about 10 minutes away by car. Beziers is the major town in the region and is a 25 minute drive - here there's a wide variety of stores and shops, restaurants and an indoor and an outdoor market - it also has a golf course.

Sports Facilites: This area is fantastic for walking and cycling. There is canoeing, horse-riding and fishing locally. Watersports lovers will find swimming, jet skis, pedaloes, sailing and fishing at Valras Plage on the Mediterranean coast about 25 minutes away by car. You can play tennis in Murviel - 10 minutes away.

Sightseeing: The St Chinian area is one of France's major AOC wine producers and many chateaux and domaines offer wine-tasting and direct sales of their wines. They are usually well worth a visit. Roquebrun is a local village of note clinging to a hillside beneath the ruins of a medieval tower. The Jardin Mediterranean takes advantage of the local micro-climate with a collection of exotic plants from around the world. Sete on the coast is famous for the the summer water-jousting contests, and Agde is popular for nightlife. Valras Plage has great seafood restaurants as does the lovely little port of Marseillan.

The beaches on the coast have miles of long golden sands. Beziers sits upon the River Orb and it is the birthplace of Pierre Paul Riquet who built the Canal du Midi - the staircase of 9 locks at Fonteranes is an interesting place to visit. Other places of interest are Carcassonne with its two rings of fortifications and fairy tale turrets - and Montpellier, the capital of Herault, with both classical and avant-garde architecture, Opera Berlioz in the central square and a wonderful array of museums, galleries and shops.

Markets: Autignac is visited by the local tradesmen - a charcuterie, a fishmonger etc at various times of the week. The markets in the region are colourful and interesting with lots of fresh, seasonal produce. You can go to Magalas and Beziers on a Friday morning, Lamalou-les-Bains on a Saturday morning and St Chinian on a Sunday.

Restaurants: There's a local bar-restaurant in Autignac just 2 minutes walk away and an award winning restaurant 'Bontemps' in Magalas - well worth a visit. Other restaurants can be found in St. Chinian, Roquebrun, Beziers and the coastal resorts.

Supermarkets: Most day to day necessities can be found in Autignac without needing to drive - there's a good grocery store in the village. However a larger supermarket Intermarche can be found in Magalas - just 5 miles away.
