One of very few houses to be awarded a "4 star" rating by the local tourist board.
The property, part of a wine-making domaine, has a truly exceptional position. It is situated in 32 hectares of vineyards along the banks of the river Orb and is only 3 km from the centre of Beziers. From the grounds one can see the majestic cathedral rising in the distance. The Mediterranean beaches are just 7 km away. It has a mature shady park and the owner has also cleared a little spot on the river bank which borders the domaine's vineyard, so you can fish. There is a large private swimming pool and two games rooms. The property was completely renovated last year and has simple but comfortable furnishings.

SITUATION
The 19th century domaine is in the wine-growing plane just south of Beziers. It stands apart with no other houses in proximity,its a working viticultural farm with the wine 'cave' behind, but out of view of the accommodation.
The farm manager lives in a small house attached to the 'cave' part. He looks after the pool and does the gardening.
Guests have a separate access and car-parking, and private use of the wooded park

Nearby Activities
Canal du Midi; restaurants on the waterfront
Domaine de l'ile is exceptionally close to the beaches, just 7km from Serignan, and is only 3 kilometres from the centre of Beziers, which is a busy colourful typically mediterranean market town full of good restaurants. Watch out for the glorious flower market on Friday mornings. The lively Feria in August lasts five
days; bull-fighting, paellas, flamenco dancing, and partying in the streets until the early hours of the morning.
The Canal du Midi runs right past this side of Beziers; ideal for cycling along the towpath, or you can hire a canal boat for the day and stop off to dine at one of the water-side restaurants.
