Villa in Vendres Large family friendly home in the South of France with pool, beautiful garden, very close to beach & shops.

Our beautiful 5 bedroom house is situated on the outskirts of the village of Vendres, on the edge a beautiful nature reserve, the Etang de Vendres, with the ruins of a Roman Temple of Venus a stones throw away. The village is slightly elevated, compared with the surrounding area, and between the rivers Orb & Aude.   The house faces south and has a large veranda for outside dining; a gorgeous mature garden; and refreshing swimming pool with sun terrace. It is no more than 3 miles from the best Mediterranean beaches in the area, which you can cycle to around the Etang de Vendres avoiding the roads. It is situated in a quiet location on edge of village, but within easy walking distance of all amenities.

Built about 20 years ago, the house has 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms(baths & showers) 2 separate WCs, kitchen & a large lounge/dining room.

Outside there is an enormous terrace for outdoor eating and chilling in the evening, a large beautiful mature garden with figs, pomegranites & other fruits. A gardener attends all year round. There is automatic watering (arrosage) which keeps the lawn very green.
BBQ

A 10 x 4 pool, with a dome cover. The water is saline, which is really soft & easy on the skin & eyes, much nicer than chlorine & absolutely nothing like the sea! The cover keeps the pool immaculate & incredibly warm. It also extends the season for using the pool.

There are two downstairs bedrooms; 1 twin & 1 kingsize. Upstairs 3 bedrooms are a twin, a double and a kingsize, so sleeps 10 comfortably. All beds have pocket sprung mattresses.
