Local Area Details

The 19th century domaine is in the wine-growing plane just south of Beziers. It is a working viticultural farm with the wine 'cave' behind, but completely out of view of the accommodation. The farm manager lives in a small house attached to the 'cave' part. He looks after the pool and does the gardening. Guests have a separate access and car-parking, and private use of the wooded park. Domaine de l'ile is close to the beaches, just 10 km from Serignan, and is only 3 km from the centre of Beziers, which is a busy colourful typically mediterranean market town with plenty of good restaurants. Watch out for the glorious flower market
on Friday mornings. The lively Feria in August lasts five days in August; bull-fighting, paellas, flamenco dancing, and partying in the streets until the early hours.
The Canal du Midi runs right past this side of Beziers; ideal for cycling along the towpath, or you can hire a canal boat for the day and stop off to dine at one of the water-side restaurants.
