About this property

Charming Bastide near Montpellier with swimming pool

Located 5 miles North of Montpellier and 15 miles from the mediterranean beaches, Villa Pratis is a beautiful 3200 sq ft Bastide sitting at the top of a hillside surrounded by pine trees, thyme, rosemary, lavender and vines... You will find a detailed description of the house at http://villapratis.free.fr/en/. Build with all modern amenities, it blends with ancient materials, terracotta flooring tiles, etc. Bedrooms, leaving room and kitchen are all unusually roomy. The 35000 sq ft property covered with pine trees, olive trees and wild «garrigue» will give you a good taste of the southerners peaceful way of life, except for the cicatella which can be quite noisy during the hottest time of the day. In winter season, the heating floor system will keep you cosy inside, while during the hot summer season, the thick brick walls will keep you cool and fresh in the house. Outside, you will pick up your best spot, in the shade of the arbour, near the pool or on a quiet green lawn on the north side of the house.

La maison du bonheur
Un accueil en toute confiance, on s'est senti tout de suite "comme à la maison"... Une grande demeure avec de grands espaces qui permettent d'être à plusieurs (nous étions 10 à 12 personnes) sans se géner et de manière très confortable. De grandes chambres, plusieurs salle de bain et toilettes, un très grand espace de vie , et différentes terrasses pour déjeuner à l'ombre à coté de la pinède ou dîner face à la piscine. Il aurait fallu 1 semaine de plus pour profiter des alentours tellement on se sentait bien dans cette maison...

About the host

Hosted by Catherine CURIE

Host profile image
We are a couple of biologists and have 4 children, two of whom are already at the University. We all speak English as we have spent several years between the US and Australia for our research. We do a lot of travelling, sailing, hiking. We also love to explore our gorgeous countryside on our bikes.

Why they chose this property

This bastide is our home. We inhabit it with our 4 children. We are scientists and often have to go abroad in long missions. While away, we rent the house to families or groups of friends who wish to spend time together in a lovely, cozy and well-equipped house.

What makes this property unique

Our house is very vast and includes large areas of circulation. It is thus ideal for sharing with friends or for large families since, according to what our tenants say, everyone can easily find his own space! Outside too, there are many places with table and chairs where to spend time: a cool terrasse on the north side, a large one in the south overlooking the swimming pool, a pergola holding vines next to the pool, 3500 square yards of pine wood with a children swing, etc...
If you like cooking, the kitchen is large and very well equipped. In particular, we have a semi-professional "Lacanche" stove with two ovens that does marvel for 12 people.
The house is located in a residential zone, away from traffic roads, it is extremely quiet.
