Villa Les Pins
Delightful family home in leafy garden
Steeps 6
Home is where the art is - and this fabulous villa, with its imposing round tower, standing in its large gardens, just behind the old village, is a true family home - a magical moment in time far from the bustle of other people's summer holidays, yet an easy amble to the village shops and the al- fresco dining of the port.
Now - for just a few weeks each summer - our guests may revel in the comforts of a country home with lawns, trees and terrace - and share the experience of Languedoc living at its best.
Most visitors to Marseillan could spend weeks without ever discovering this charming sleepy tree-lined avenue hidden behind the old town. But unlock the gate, step up to the front door and taste the country in Marseillan Village.
Take a few steps down to the quiet room, the den where you may sit with a good book, a glass of wine and your own private thoughts. Or climb upstairs to the main living area on the first floor.
Or climb upstairs to the main living area on the first floor. The salon-sejour is a cluster of comfortable chairs and sofa around the fire place. Original hand-crafted lamps on every side table, curios and family mementos on the shelves, a spacious family room for quiet nights in.
At one end of the room is the main dining table, in front of the sliding glass doors leading out to the terrace and the colourful summer dining area looking up an the age old pine trees and down at the garden.
The terrace has its stone barbecue for grilling the catch of the day that you bought that morning from the village fishermen, or those prime steaks selected for you by Monsieur Valette, the butcher, at his shop next to the church.
Another door from the terrace takes you into the kitchen - a large family affair with its dresser, long worktops and the kitchen table for a quiet tete a tete whilst the rest of the family is sunning itself outside.
The kitchen has plenty of space for preparing the meals and a dishwasher to take care of things after dinner.
Three bedrooms:
The yellow room, with its twin aspect windows looking out to the gardens, has a comfortable double bed;
As does the blue room, with its stylish distressed paintwork and its quaint lamps on the bedside tables;
A third bedroom, ideal for children, has a convertable bed. A nice big bathroom with a bathtub, shower and double basins, and a seperate shower room along the passageway.
There is an extra wc too. So no early squabbles before the first fresh coffee of the morning.
Downstairs, you will find a washing machine and drier - although there is a large area at the side of the house for drying your clothes in the summer breezes that rustle through the branches of the bay tree by the parking area in the drive (with room for 4 cars), the swaying palms in the front garden, the bamboo and those tall spreading pine trees that shade the lawn from the heat of the noonday sun.

Yes, the garden - plenty of space for the youngsters to let off steam (they'll enjoy the slide, whilst the grown ups savour the illicit treat of windfall forbidden fruit from the fig tree that lends its name to the annexe appartment Le Figuier next door.
You may rent Le Figuier as well as the rest of the house if you are planning a larger family gathering, and make the most of both gardens and terraces.
