The Experience

The gate is off one of the main streets through town but once it slides shut you find yourself in a special place, leaving the dimly-heard traffic outside. Walk straight into a spectacular full-length living room with high ceiling, bright colours and a collection of classic and contemporary prints and posters. This is the place to cook together, chat, retire to a deep sofa or simply escape the heat in summer – the thick walls and high ceilings keep things refreshingly cool, although there is air-conditioning throughout.

Bedrooms (one downstairs) dazzle with a happy mix of antique, vintage and modern furniture and light floods in through tall windows. The dark-tiled pool waits in the garden surrounded by mature trees – lime, orange, albizia and a still-functioning well used for irrigation. Get out the gas barbecue for evening meals on the terrace surrounded by fairy lights.

Gather your morning croissants from (almost) next door.

Reviews

We have all enjoyed and appreciated every aspect of this meticulously renovated property which has been carefully considered to provide guests with everything they might need or didn't expect - for the perfect holiday. Living in this elegant and very comfortable retreat/art gallery has been an experience and we would happily repeat. Everything this past week has been fab.

Alan, Libby and family

Wonderful stay in a wonderful house with equally wonderful hosts. Everything was perfect for us, pool, pool, ping-pong, kitchen just great for cooking (super to be somewhere with actual shops!) and the loveliest nights' sleeps. ....... Feel completely relaxed and definitely don't want to leave and would love to return. Diolch and Merci

Kate, Lee, Enid, George and Lilith

What an astonishingly beautiful house - the colours, the art, the attention to detail and the superb pool too! You have been the perfect, kind, friendly hosts, helping us with the info: we definitely want to come back next year! We arrived frazzled and left relaxed, having done a lot of lounging, talking, reading, drawing, drinking and eating. The perfect holiday - thank you very much.

Jackie, Andrew, Isabel and Emily

We came on holiday with the sole intention of relaxing for a week and could not have done it in a nicer place. Everything about the house is wonderful, the decor and furnishings, the kitchen equipment, the outdoors. We have been renting houses in France for 20 years and have never had such a beautiful swimming pool. The proximity to Pézenas is a great benefit from buying early morning pastries to strolling the streets in the evening. Thank you

Leslie, Anne, Harry & Lucy

We already knew we were coming to a very beautiful villa - nevertheless, we were speechless after seeing it in the flesh! The colours, the furniture, the paintings, the space indoors and outdoors - what an amazing project it has been for you both. Then there's the holiday, strolling around Pézenas, Mèze beach, Marseillan, the wine festival and the lunch at Seigneurie de Peyrat Winery were amongst many highlights....... I'm pretty sure we'll return again soon. (We always return to the best places). Thank you for being such great hosts

Bobby, Kirsty, Jack, Isla & Romy

Thank you so much for a beautiful week in your gorgeous jewel-box of a house. All your recommendations were tip-top (The vineyard pique-nique! The beach! The restaurants! and, of course, Café des Arts!) and we've so enjoyed relaxing in this oasis.

Ellie, Toby, Sam, Jessie and Rosie & Jack

We enjoyed every minute in your beautiful retreat. You have a wonderful eye for design, colour and comfort. You've truly created a bit of paradise. Everything was perfect - there couldn't be a better place to experience Languedoc and the South of France. Two weeks went by like the blink of an eye and really isn't long enough to experience everything that is available in the area.

Denize and Ira

We felt very honoured to be the first guests in your beautiful home. We've had a lovely week. We love the house. Your attention to detail is amazing. You have thought of everything guests might need. We have especially appreciated the fabulous artwork on the walls.

Anna, Paul and family

You enter a long, high room with so much going on that you wonder what to focus on: the sea-blue colours, the lofty ceiling, the super modern kitchen, the colourful, dynamic artwork on the walls... Shall I sit at the unfussy timber dining table? The dashing aluminium breakfast bar? The clean-cut vintage sitting area? The house has been converted with strong, assured taste - I loved this confident, un-chintzy style.

Ann, Sawday's Inspector

My wife and I went to FleurDilly in the summer with friends. I had no idea what to expect but to say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. As you go through the gate from the road you enter your own little oasis of peace, quiet and relaxation. The house itself has vibrant colours everywhere, amazing artwork and great colourful bathrooms. It all works so well and matches the climate superbly. The bedrooms are all huge, all decorated differently and look over the garden and pool. Absolute genius is the only description for the pool.

Martin, Surrey

We had a wonderful stay with friends filled with long sociable lunches on the terrace under the shade of the trees followed by afternoons dropping in and out of the beautiful pool and lolling on the warm stone slabs. The house is super stylish, chic & distinctive. As soon as you arrive it feels private & peaceful. Upstairs big, funky bedrooms all have views over the pool. Downstairs the enormous living room and kitchen area is bright, cool, comfortable & elegant. Everything you need for a perfect escape with family and friends. This is a very special place indeed. Diabolo fraise anyone?

Sally, London

Fleurdilly is a stunning property in the beautiful French market town of Pézenas in the Languedoc. It has been stylishly restored in a modern style whilst respecting and in keeping with the original character. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and have air conditioning (as does the rest of the house) and blackout shutters which was very helpful as I stayed in July. The location is great – Pézenas has everything you need and a great market on Saturdays. it’s a short walk to the town centre but hidden behind gates which open onto a lovely oasis of peace and calm.

Location

The neighbourhood

Stroll into the historic centre with its fine houses and pedestrian streets for a wide choice of restaurants in leafy squares, arty shops, antiques, museums and lots of happy visitors on market day - don't miss the brilliant jumble of the Musée de la Porte. A 10-minute drive will take you to Seigneurie de Peyrat, a magnificent wine estate where you can taste the wines and visit the château.

Local points of interest from Fleur & Dick Dunford

  • Recently awarded the highly coveted 5 star Meublé de Tourisme rating, Fleurdilly is ideally located in the beautiful, vibrant town of Pézenas with Medieval and Renaissance architecture which proudly celebrates its' famous adopted son the playwright Molière
  • Summer events include a lively, weekly L'Estivale promoting many local vineyards with street-food and also Les Nocturnes for twice-weekly, late night shopping. A full programme of music, plays and comedy is staged by two theatres and an open air venue.
  • A shoppers delight! Besides its ever-popular bustling Saturday market, designated a “Ville de Métiers d’Art, Pézenas has 30 thriving artisan workshops located in the picturesque, winding streets along with a vast variety of boutiques and antiques shops.
  • In Summer, hospitable Pézenas is reputed to have 52 restaurants, cafés and eateries to choose from. We are fortunate enough to have the best bakery and deli in town only a five minute walk in one direction and some of the best restaurants in the other.
  • It is only an hour's drive to the historic cities of Montpellier, Narbonne and Nîmes with Béziers and Sète but a skip away. A 20-minute drive takes you to the expanse of Mediterranean beaches or watersports recreation on rivers and lakes ie Lac du Salagou.
  • There's something for everyone. The stunning Cevennes Mountains are nearby in the North. Located in the heart of Languedoc wine country tours of local vineyards are easily arranged and there are two great golf courses nearby at St Thomas and Cap d'Agde.

Introducing

Fleur & Dick Dunford

Fleur and Dick are from London and have holidayed throughout France for over 30 years. Frustrated at never finding the perfect family villa to rent in their beloved town of Pézenas, they spent 4 years searching for one to buy and renovate to make their own. They’ve since given this place much love and a huge splash of their own style. They live in the other part of the house but it's separated by a sound-proofed corridor, so you'll feel very private.
