Picturesque house in 17th century village, with privacy, pool and views

This bright, sunny, tastefully renovated house with private patio, pool and exquisite views to the Mediterranean is situated in a charming medieval village nestled among the vineyards near the wonderfully historic towns of Pezenas and Béziers . The house has two bedrooms upstairs, one with private balcony, both with southerly views. The open concept living and dining rooms and the kitchen open directly onto the patio and private pool area. Located in the beautiful Languedoc region, just 1/2-hour's drive from the beaches and fishing villages of the Mediterranean, this is quintessential wine country with rolling hills, tree-lined roads and vineyards as far as the eye can see. Shop in the colorful outdoor markets, enjoy top notch local fare in area restaurants or savour the fresh bounty of the Mediterranean sea and the flavors of the local wines and olive oil on the patio. Relax in true Mediterranean style, or keep busy with hiking, cycling, sightseeing, kayaking or golfing.

We had a lovely time in Roquessels! The house contains everything one might need. We especially adored the outside area and its amazing view; the pool was definitely a highlight. The neighbourhood is super calm and we therefore had a very relaxing stay. Would highly recommend this location to anyone!

We really enjoyed our stay. Eglantine's property is a perfect quiet retreat to enjoy southern France. We spent almost all of our time sitting outside beneath the grape vines enjoying the beautiful view towards Gabian. The property has everything you'd need from a short stay to a longer holiday and the pool is wonderful on the hot days. My partner and I have stayed in a lot of holiday lets around europe and both agreed this was by far the best yet. The village of Roquessels is an amazing location with tons of small towns close by, plenty of easily accessible walking spots and the coast not far away. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to explore the south of France; we'll definitely consider returning ourselves.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay in Roquessels, a quiet and characteristic French town with lovely locals (and cats)! The house had everything we needed, which was a huge comfort. The house was very cosy and nicely decorated. During the hottest days we made a lot of use of the pool, which was cleaned regularly. We enjoyed our trips to the nearby markets, towns and beaches and had some nice hikes in the area. We could easily contact the owner for any questions we had. We highly recommend Maison Candide and hopefully will be coming back someday!

Really super house in very peaceful rural location. Amazing views from the terrace. Swimming pool was great - especially during the heat wave. A real home from home. Eglantine has thought of everything. Close to lots of lovely little towns and only 25 mins to Pezenas - a must! Can’t wait to return.

We had a lovely week in this beautiful house, it was absolutely fantastic! We spent almost all of our time outdoors; reading, eating and swimming. The contact with the home owner as well as all the practicalities worked without a problem. A calm and very relaxing holiday. Thank you so much! We look forward to returning soon! / Cia & Erik

We loved our stay at Maison Candide! It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the sun. The villa was well equipped and it was great to have a good selection of the basics (olive oil, herbs, washing powder etc) in the cupboards on arrival. The pool was a great hit with the whole family and the perfect way to cool off in the heat. Roquessels is a very quiet village with some lovely walks. We tried a few different boulangeries before eventually settling on Le Fournil de Benjamin opposite Hyper U in Roujan. We would definitely visit again!

The property itself is delightful, very quintessentially French but with all the mod cons ( the air con was a welcome addition as was the English t.v channels for when it rained!) the views from the Villa are just stunning. The pool is small but the owner is clear about that on the description and it kept our two children entertained (11 and 9). The village is very peaceful and everyone we met was friendly. The surrounding areas are full of rolling hills, vineyards and sleepy villages. You definitely need a car to travel round. We visited several beaches, all were within 40-60 mins. We loved Pezenas, such a lively place with plenty of restaurants and beautiful buildings. The owner was really easy to communicate with and left a really handy folder full of useful information about places to visit. If you are looking for a peaceful place, with gorgeous views, that is surrounded by a part of France that feels largely untouched by mass tourism then this is definitely the place to stay.

We had a lovely holiday - thank you. Your house was perfect for us. Beautiful and so peaceful and we enjoyed walking up to the chapel on the hill every evening to watch the sunset. We tried a few of your suggestions - the pancake place in Pezenas was a big hit . As you say they are the best galettes I have ever had.....and Cafe Bio was lovely. Cycling was fun. We did three bigger rides - one from the house up to Pezenes-les-Mines and back round via a couple of the local towns. We also did a nice ride down the canal from Capestang to near Bezier and back. Finally we cycled down the coast from Sete to Agde. The cycling was probably the high point of the trip. It was 25 deg every day and just lovely to watch the vines turning orange. My daughters used the pool on a few days but it was a little too "fresh" for my wife and I! Things couldnt really have been any better

10/10

The house is a home and makes a wonderful quiet space to spend a week. The kitchen was well-equipped so cooking and eating was straight forward. Good to have a modern very clean bathroom, although the separate shower in the bedroom is a little quirky - I was glad there was a proper one! Sitting outside on the terrace is the highlight with the pool readily available for cooling off. It didn't matter to the children that the pool was small as it was deep enough and just big enough to provide plenty of entertainment opportunities. The views from the terrace are just wonderful at every time of day. I loved being up before everyone else and just watching the sun come up and the swallows and martins flying around. The plants all around the terrace on an irrigation system make such a good addition to a holiday rental as so often places are soulless with gardens that are empty so the lush greenery was much appreciated. Roquessels is a small village and a car is essential, but you are near enough to Pezenas (which is beautiful) and other small villages to make little trips out very easy. We didn't venture far, probably because the house was so accommodating and enjoyable to be in that we didn't need to. Pat and Mel were very helpful by email before our trip and answered all our questions promptly and warmly. For a haven of rest and relaxation I would highly recommend this property.

We have just returned having spent the most wonderful time at Maison Candide. Located in the quiet small village of Roquessels it is perfect for those that are looking for privacy and rural tranquility. The house is perfectly equipped even for the strict self-caterers having everything you could possibly need. Not for everyone, but having Freesat TV with all the regular English channels means that those who wish to keep up with what’s happening back home can do so. A car is essential since there is no Boulangerie, shops or restaurants in the village. Nearest Boulangerie is an 8 minute drive to Gabian. For your supermarket Roujan is just a further 7 mins on. Out and about there are so many Caveau’s to visit. Try the local “Trinities” in Roquessels or visit Faugeres, Neffies or Fontes for your Rose. You are literally spoilt for choice. Pezenas is just 20 minutes away and in 35 minutes you can be in Meze or Bouzigues. Eglantine made sure that we were aware of everything ahead of our arrival and also dealt with the problem of a broken washing machine very promptly. Within 3 days of letting her know of the problem a new one was installed and running. Fantastic service which we truly appreciated. If you want to enjoy the beauty of this part of France and get away from it all this is just perfect.

L'annonce décrit parfaitement la maison, c'est vraiment un lieu très calme et c'est ce que nous avons apprécié. Nous avons aussi apprécié la climatisation même si l'air frais avait du mal à monter dans les chambres mais cela restait supportable. Le logement était parfaitement entretenu, les lits faits lors de notre arrivée, les serviettes de bain fournies, c'est un sans faute de ce coté là. Pensez à allez visiter la petite chapelle sur les hauteurs de Roquessels, nouvellement rénovée, elle en vaut le détour. Je recommande cette location, merci à la propriétaire c'était un excellent séjour de 2 semaines.

Een heerlijk verblijf in een compleet en goed ingericht huis, met een mooi uitzicht. Zeer rustig dorp op kwartier rijden van winkels, goede uitvalsbasis voor leuke trips. Fijn ook de extra verzorging van het zwembad, terras en kleine schoonmaak (met verschoning van de bedden en de handdoeken) van het huis halverwege (we huurden twee weken). Aan te raden!

We highly recommend staying in this hidden gem. We spend a month in Maison Candide with our infant and everything was taken perfectly care of, from cleaning service to pool, so we could truly enjoy our vacation. Eglantine warmly welcomed us and showed how everything worked, and she was quick to respond whenever we had questions. The house is beautifully decorated well equipped and we hope to return one day soon. Roquessels is a cosy village with friendly people, and a short drive to everything you could need.

We had the most wonderful, relaxing holiday at Maison Candide. The villa is situated in a beautiful, quiet medieval village set up in the hills surrounded by the most stunning views. The villa is spacious and full of character and charm with some lovely personal touches which caters for all your needs. The pool is a great asset for that quick dip to cool off and the terrace is perfect to sit out and eat and enjoy the views with a glass of local wine.... there is certainly enough choices available to sample in the area as you are surrounded by vine yards! It is one of those places that you can totally switch off to the outside world as it is so peaceful and completely private. There are plenty of places to visit in the area so you definitely need a car to be able to tour around and see all the sites. The owners were so attentive from the moment we booked our holiday and they couldn't have been more helpful with all their tips and advice on places to go and see. We were sad when our holiday came to an end and we look forward to returning again soon.

What a fantastic little place! We had a wonderful week’s holiday based at Maison Candide. It is beautifully presented and a ‘home from home’ with everything you might need provided. The views over the vineyards are stunning. It’s a great location to access a raft of different places and activities, although a car is a must. We would love to return!
