Property Description:

"Au Coeur du Chateau“ is a rare find. Built on the foundations of the medieval castle, which once rose proudly over the picturesque village of Nezignan L’Eveque, the house still follows the circular form of the ramparts and guards behind its facade a sunny and secluded garden.
Stone steps lead from the front door to the main living area, which is light and spacious. Here an open-plan kitchen, decorated with hand-painted Italian tiles, offers even the most discerning cook a near-professional environment. The adjoining dining area perfectly matches the kitchen in elegance, and the lounge, generously furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs, provides the perfect space for relaxing, reading, or watching satellite television. Large French windows lead on to a terrace with bistro furniture, deck chairs and a barbecue. A narrow, winding path leads through a charming Mediterranean garden, to a plunge pool and sun deck.
Returning to the house, and passing a beautifully tiled bathroom with W.C. and shower, a further flight of stairs leads to the upper storey. Here a second bathroom, equipped as below, serves three bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with two singles and the third with two bunk beds, suitable for children.
The entire house, with its fresh white walls, exposed wooden beams and traditional tiling, exudes a Mediterranean atmosphere, while at the same time, with its exceptional attention to modern detail and comfort provides a very high standard of accommodation where the guest should want for nothing.

Area Description:

The village of Nezignan L’Eveque derives its name from the fact that the bishops (French- eveque) of Agde chose to build their palace there, to escape the heat of the coast in the summer months. Sitting in the shady garden of the house it is easy to conjure up an impression of this stately dwelling, which once stood beneath the very flagstones of the terrace, and it is through this influence that the village has such a large number of beautiful Renaissance house facades still to be seen in the narrow streets. The church dates from the 12th Century
Today, Nezignan is a quiet, wine-growing village surrounded by vineyards, and the turning of the seasons still very much dictates the rhythm of life. Small, village shops offer basic local produce and provide a delightful way for the visitor to become accustomed to the rural pace.
For larger purchases, Pezenas, about three kilometres away, boasts a wide range of excellent shopping.


Area Activities

The Herault region caters for all tastes and interests. Nezignan is equidistant from the sea and the mountains, and the coast, which is 15 minutes away is unusual in offering not only long sandy beaches, and vibrant, modern marinas, but also sleepy little ports specialising in shellfish and seafood.
Inland, towards the foothills of the Cevennes, the range of possibilities is no less varied. The large, freshwater Lake of Salagou, is a wind-surfers paradise. In the Gorges de l’Herault it is possible to hire a canoe, to paddle slowly along the upper reaches of the river, or shoot the occasional set of rapids. Sports of every kind – from horse riding to mountain biking, from jet-ski to golf – are available to all.
The rich cultural life of the region is in summer particularly pronounced. Exhibitions, concerts and festivals abound, to delight resident and visitor alike, and often the venue chosen gives access to one of the many well preserved historical buildings or churches which bear testimony to the region’s multi-facetted past.
