About the home

Papillon is a large detached villa built around a courtyard and pool. Set deep into the countryside but 1 mile from our local town this villa offers seclusion yet affords all modern facilities and luxuries. Half an hour from beach, cities, and airports and with easy access from airports short breaks are a popular option as well as longer holidays.
With Cigale, Papillons elegant sister villa we can now accommodate couples, who wish to invite treasured friends to their romantic gettaway. The villas offer independent accommodation to each couple allowing privacy and intimacy in equal measures. Montpellier 30 mins. Sea 30 mins.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Papillon like its sister Cigale is beautifully furnished with an ecclectic mix of English antiques and French charm. The villa is large, and romantic with all the modern facilities you may require for your precious holiday in the sun. Sun loungers and comfortable chairs are scattered about the property with hammocks gently swinging from the conker tree.
The large sumptous beds are dressed in 400 count Egyptian cotton sheets, a picnic awaits or a casserole in the winter complete with a bottle of wine to drink whilst soaking in double ended bath gazing at the vines and surrounding hills. Peace and quiet envelope you lulling you to sleep to the sound of nightingales.

Further details outdoors:
There are so many places to sunbathe, contemplate, eat, read and play at Le Grand Hermitage that there is always a place in the sun or shade. The pool is only shared between the two villas as the owners have their own, away from the secluded area of Cigale and Papillon.
Swing in the hammocks, light the barbeque, swim to your hearts content, all to the sounds of bees and birds and the sights of butterflies, dragon flies and leave gently swaying in the breeze. Take the bikes, or try your hand at boules, wander around the property and take a stroll through the woods or a hike in the hills. Although essentially self catering breakfast, lunch, aperos and evening meal is happily presented- you will be amazed.

Further details

Le Grand Hermitage with Papillon and Cigale villas offer breaks all year round from 48 hrs up. Both villas may be booked both individually and together and total eclusivity is also available ( ask for details).
We ask for 25% deposit on booking and full rental must be paid 8 weeks before arrival. booking forms and directions will be sent out on request.
Requests for food are encouraged as we are enthusiastic cooks but as we use only locally sourced foods we ask for 24 hrs notice.

Conditions

Absolutely no children are allowed at Le Grand Hermitage as we feel there are times in your life when you do not want to hear the delights of yours or anyones child. A time to discover peace, discover yourself, remind yourself who you are and what you want, and appreciate what you have.

“Comfort and Style” This was our third trip to Le Grand Hermitage but our first in which we stayed in Papillon. Like its sister villa Cigale, Papillon is fully equipped with everything you would could possibly need. On arrival you will find a picnic, prepared by Barbara and Richard waiting for you so that you do not have to rush to the supermarket to stock up immediately on arrival. There is a small country road which separates the property from the vineyards. Le Grand Hermitage is a five minute drive from Clermont L'Herault which has all the shops you are likely to need.

“A lovely stay - 3 days nowhere near long enough!” We only stayed for 3 days - because that was the only vacant period when we wanted to go. 3 weeks would be better if you want to make the most of both the property and the general area! Barbara and... more

“Lovely cottage in S France, Gardens and Pool less impressive” We went here for 10 days for our honeymoon. Our cottage, Papillon was neat, tidy and well kept. The owners had provided us with a picnic on arrival, which was much appreciated as our journey was hot... more Response: We have two cottages/villas which in the advertising clearly states they are on the same grounds, with a shared pool. Whether honeymooners, or holiday makers, everyone is different as to how much... more

“A return to heavenly tranquility!” This was our second year at Le Grand Hermitage - the first in Papillon! Both properties are almost identical although Papillon has the larger garden area. It was so like coming "home"... more

“Peaceful France” A stunning property very tastefully and comfortably done out. Barbara and Richard were incredibly welcoming and helpful when we had any queries. The property is in a lovely part of France with great restaurants, markets, scenery, historical points of interest - are all around!

“An excellent property and one we intend returning to.” The gite was as good as it looked on the website, if not better. We were particularly lucky in that the other property was empty so we had the whole place to ourselves for most of the stay. The villa had wifi, satellite TV and music (bring your i-trip). We cooked in every night and made the most of the local produce, there are several supermarkets in Clermont L'Herault and a market on Wednesday. A home cooked meal with a bottle of wine - perfect. The hamlet of Villeneuvette was a short walk away across the vineyard and through the wood, a really easy walk. Only a few miles up the single track road was a small village with amazing rock formations, well worth a visit. We were left to our own devices, which was what we wanted, but Barbara and Richard were always available for advice on the surrounding area. Gorge of L'Herault was very good for swimming off the rocks in the river, canoe hire and the village St Guillame la Desert. Pezenas was well worth a visit, Lamalou-les-Bains and Lodeve less so. Montpellier is only 40 minutes away. There is so much to do in the area that our week only showed us all the things to come back for. This is a quiet rural villa near the small town of Clermont L'Herault, it's not a place to go for a wild party but exactly the place to go to recharge your batteries.

“a romantic get away from it all” a perfect place to spend a week, two weeks, or longer! Privacy, help at hand when needed, beautiful surroundings, very quiet, could not fault it - in fact this is the first self-catering holiday... more

“we plan to come back next year with friends” Wir haben das Haus im Internet gebucht und alles so wie beschrieben angetroffen. Für zwei Personen ein sehr großzügiges Haus mit allem, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht. Die Lage war optimal: Ruhig außerhalb des Ortes gelegen war man trotzdem in 5 Minuten in der "Stadt" mit den entsprechenden Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Intermarché oder Hyper U, Markt am Mittwoch), dazu viele sehenswerte Orte in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Nicht nur mit dem Auto, sondern auch mit den Fahrrädern- richtig guten Mountainbikes- vom Haus konnten wir schöne Touren (z.B. zum nahe gelegenen See) unternehmen. Alles in allem: Für einen Urlaub zu zweit oder mit Freunden optimal!
