Further details for this holiday rental in Laurens, France

Wine and the town of Beziers: Languedoc-Roussllion is the largest wine producing region in the world, a wine lovers paradise, vineyards as far as the eye can see. Most villages have their own 'cave co-operative’ where wine is made and sold. There are also many privately owned vineyards where superb quality Faugers wine is now being produced. The owners will welcome your visits and offer tasting of their full range of wines. The town of Beziers (14 miles) offers something for everyone. A beautiful tree lined boulevard with endless cafes hosts a huge flower market on Fridays. There are many cultural events throughout the summer including the famous ‘Feria’ where the whole town is taken over for four days of bullfighting, street markets, musicians and traditional carnival.

Painting breaks: The area is ideal for that relaxing painting break with breathtaking views and architecture within easy reach. The resident artist owner Derek Corke (please contact us for his website address) is on hand to offer advise on location, materials, composition and painting techniques.

Children & Sport: For the children and sun-worshipers the amazing sandy beaches of the Mediterranean lie just 18 miles to the South. All water sports are catered for and you will find a large range of excellent cafes and seafood restaurants. Within 20mins of the house there are two golf courses and the mountain rivers provide wonderful opportunities for canoeing, kayaking with hiking right on your doorstep. There is a Paint Ball park close by and a trampoline within the grounds of the property.

Other Activities: canoeing, kayaking, paint balling

A fabulous get-a-way

Belle du jour London
Review Submitted: May 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Now that Ryanair flies to Beziers Cap d'Agde, this place is a wonderful getaway for a weekend or longer. The house, once two typical French village houses, is on the edge of the village and surrounded by the vineyards of Fauger. It is now converted into one spacious, stylish home by the artist owners. The rooms are large, airy and very clean with cotton sheets and fluffy towels. A superb breakfast on the terrace with everything you could want - cereals, fresh bread & croissants, fresh fruit, yogurts and of course, fresh coffee. Anything else and you only have to ask. The garden and secluded pool are a delight - have your lunch here or a late night dip to the sound of cicadas. A great place to chill and relax or wander further afield to local vineyards or neighbouring towns. Fabulous seafood, beaches and the wonderful Canal du Midi is a short drive away. Derek & Wendy could not be more welcoming or helpful. All in all, mervilleux!
Shhh ....keep it a secret or they'll all want to go.

In the middle of many nice places !

Kirsten, Anne Sofie and Peter Fredensborg, Denmark
Review Submitted: September 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
It was our first visit in the region, and Laurens is wery easy to find, coming from Montpellier airport. The village is a good base for sightseeing, restaurants and places to visit.
Wendy and Derek are the most fantastic hostes. Warm and welcomming and very helpfull. We enjoyed beeing a part of the family at the annual "fete du village". We really enjoyed the wonderfull house, tastfully interieur and nice clean swimming pool.
The room (bedroom 2) was large enough for 3 adults and the private bathroom was beautifull.

The luxurios healthy breakfast on the lovely terrace with everything you could wish for - cereals, fresh fruit, juices, a selection off teas and fresh croissants made us feel capable for the whole day.

The familiar atmosphere around the morning table, where the daily program was made, and the late nigtht evaluation, allways offered a glass of wine, was really great.

You will not regret a visit at Wendy and Derek.

Hope to come back some time in the future.

Lots of love Kirsten and Peter

What a week!

John & Veronique Bruges, Belgium
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We (2 adults and 2 children) enjoyed every minute at the house with Derek & Wendy. The hosts made us feel very wellcome and offered great tips on sights to see, places to visit and restaurants to eat. The whole house was at our disposal, making us feel like we had rented our own private villa with swimming pool! In the morning there was always time for a breakfast chat whilst enjoying daily fresh croissants, baguette, coffee and all kinds of juices. Bella (the family pet) was such a lovely and gentle friend to our little dog who was as wellcome as we were. Derek & Wendy offer superb quality in a charming and relaxing village in France 's countryside. We will most certainly come back to the region and will not hesitate to book again at their holiday house.

It was awesome!

Victoria and Brian Long Lake, MN U.S.A.
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
It was my husbands and my first time in France and we were with our daughter and son in law. Wendy and Derek were the most excellent hosts. We felt so at home and they made our stay awesome. They told us the places to see and how to get there. They welcomed us to use the pool and it felt so private because of the location of the house to the pool. The rooms were nice and clean and the beds were so comfortable. We can't wait to go back!

A Great Place To Stay

Simon and Jane United Kingdom
Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Our family (2 adults/2 children 10 and 8) spent five nights here. It was a much welcome break and provided a good base for our stay. The rooms were very clean and airy though lacking a television. The pool was definitely a bonus during the hot weather - the kids loved it. Breakfast was served on the terrace and provided plenty of variety with traditional bread/croissants and fresh fruit, cereals, etc. We were lucky to arrive on the monthly Jazz Night which was a bonus. Wendy and Derek made us feel very welcome. Thank you!
