Capestang holiday cottage: Capestang

We stayed for two weeks at Le Vigneron in the very pretty and lively town of Capestang in the Herault region of the Languedoc. We received a very warm welcome from the owner (Eilis). We were also looked after during our stay by Rhadia (Housekeeper) whose warm personality brightened up the enviroment. The house was spotless, very well stocked and had internet, sat tv and telephone. The swimming pool was a haven and the garden beautifully planted. It is ideally placed for strolling along the Canal Du Midi,exploring the regions many vineyards and is only a short drive to the beaches of Valras Plage and Narbonne Plage. I would say it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holidays I've had and I look forward to returning soon.

We had a very very enjoyable holiday at the revovated barn next to Le Manoir at Capestang. The accommodation was stunning and absolutely fitted our needs as a three-generational family. Tastefully renovated and furnished, we just said 'wow' when we saw the interior Owner has obviously gone to a lot of trouble to furnish and equip it and it was also very clean. Housekeeper lives a few doors away - a very warm and friendly lady who made us feel immediately at home. It was good to know that she was nearby in case of any queries or emergencies - there weren't any as it happens! Capestang itself is a welcoming town and, historically, most interesting. Cathedral, castle, houses all fascinating and picturesque.
Would definitely return to this property. Although it is private, it is only 2 minutes walk to the market square - a great meeting place in the evenings and a market is held there twice a week. Canal du Midi is lovely and about 7 minutes walk from the property. Surrounding area also well worth exploring - we did not have a car, but managed fine with local buses to Beziers Gare Routiere and thence to places like Valres Plage. On request, the bus can also drop you at the SNCF station where there are regular services to places such as Montpellier and Nimes (both well worth seeing), also Agde and Sete. Next time, we would also go to Carcassone and Avignon for day trips. There are regular trains in the opposite direction to Perpignan and Spain just beyond. We felt we had just skimmed the surface of Languedoc - there is so much to see and do and would probably need another month or two to do it justice.
A very successful holiday and I would certainly recommend this property to friends - in fact, I have done so already!
Owner extremely prompt in responding to e mails during the booking process and also with any queries which have arisen - we have been impressed and pleased with everything to do with this holiday from start to finish.

Très belle maison située dans un magnifique village. Dommage que la piscine soit à partager avec les autres locataires (il n'est pas fait mention dans la description qu'il ya d'autres locataires et qu'il faut partager la piscine et les extérieurs, de ce fait, il n'y a pas assez de chaises longues pour tous. L'intérieur est propre et bien décoré, la literie confortable. Il n'ya pas de climatisation mais des ventillateurs dans toutes les pièces: très agréable. Une concierge fort sympatique résoud tous nos petits problèmes. Le village pittoresque est bien annimé avec de bons restaurants. La voiture est fortement conseillée. La mer pas trop loin. Une endroit à conseiller pour les familles.
