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

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.

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. The large swimming pool


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.

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.
