About this property

Pezenas apartment - elegant & spacious with charming terrace in historic centre

Behind the historic limestone facade of the buildings along rue François Oustrin, you will find a tastefully decorated contemporary, self- contained apartment with its own south facing terrace, with Mediterranean plants. 'Appartement François' is sunny, bright and airy. The classical windows in all rooms face onto either the sunny terrace or the very private 14th century limestone atrium.

The Canadian owners, with their love of architecture, history, art and design, recognize the uniqueness of this apartment and want visitors to enjoy a special south of France holiday experience. The apartment has been furnished to suit families, couples or singles.

Entry is from the 'pedestrian only' street, through traditional glazed doors, on to a cobblestone lobby. A comfortable flight of stairs leads to 'Appartement François' on the first level. Inside there is a spacious, comfortable, attractively decorated living space.

'Appartement Francois' is in the historic quarter and only minutes from shops, restaurants, studios, art galleries and so much more. Pezenas will appeal to people of all ages and interests. It is situated between the mountains and the sea. It has the best weather in France and provides a perfect base for travelling around this beautiful region of southern France.

Further details indoors

The apartment has a particularly spacious feel being on one level with high ceilings throughout and exposed beams in the dining area. Light floods into all rooms through high windows reaching almost to the ceiling. It has been redecorated in a contemporary style with quality modern appliances and technology.

The living area is open plan with a lounge dining area. The sitting area has two sofas, an ottoman, a coffee table, an LCD flat screen TV, a sound system and a DVD player. Free fibre optic WIFI is available; and a writing desk is also available to use. The adjoining dining area has a table and six chairs. This area opens out directly onto the sunny, south facing terrace garden through large arched glazed doors. The ¾ metre thick limestone walls of the old building can be appreciated here and through the adjacent kitchen window overlooking the terrace.

The garden terrace is furnished with comfortable seating and a modern barbeque. There are also two deck chairs available to use. A large extendable canvas canopy provides exactly the required amount of shade, and potted citrus trees and Mediterranean plants surround the terracotta tiled floor. The terrace is very private and set back from the street overlooking a cobbled courtyard off rue François Oustrin. It is not easily visible from the street or surrounding buildings making the apartment and terrace also very quiet. An extendable clothes line is located on the terrace, but well hidden.

The kitchen is well equipped with a sink, oven, stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine and all the usual small appliances. You will appreciate the generous supply of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans.

The large main bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, bedside tables with lamps, large wardrobe, and a chest of drawers. The room has two beautiful high classical windows overlooking the 14th century atrium. A well appointed en-suite complete with two basins and a bath/shower adjoins the bedroom.

There is a separate shower room with sink as well as a water closet. There is a hair dryer in each bathroom.

The second bedroom contains two single beds. It has bedside tables with lamps and room to hang your clothes. This room has two large classical windows overlooking the private atrium and is across the hall from the shower room and toilet. The bedrooms are quite separate and private.

There is an air conditioner in the apartment as well as stationary fans for each bedroom.

Further details outdoors

Parking is not a problem at Appartement François as there are 2 carparks very near. A reasonably priced 'pay' carpark is at the end of the street, only steps away; and a huge 'free' carpark is located nearby. The bus station is a short walk away.

Perfect!
A beautiful apartment, positioned perfectly in the centre of the historic area of Pezanas. I loved everything about it. Plenty of space, gorgeous little terrace with plenty of fresh herbs for cooking and comfortable furniture throughout. The kitchen is very well stocked, everything you would need if you wanted to cook; but with so many restaurants seconds away from the apartment, who wants to cook while on holiday. Thanks Sandra for sharing your lovely little hideaway in Pezanas. It's simply perfect!

Beautiful Apartment in a Charming Town
We, two women d'un certain âge, very much enjoyed our stay at Appartment François. It is beautifully appointed, spacious, and very comfortable to live in. Each of us had her own space to relax in after a day of sightseeing. The A/C is a real plus; we used it briefly a couple of times but can imagine how important it would be in the middle of summer. The kitchen is well equipped and large enough for a number of cooks! Sandra was so helpful with lots of suggestions and information before our trip, and there were directions in the apartment for the washer, dishwasher, etc. A couple of rainy nights we watched movies from her supply of DVDs. It truly felt like a "home away from home". Nothing but the best to say about the apartment and its location in the old town! Pézenas is a wonderful little town, and we loved exploring the rabbit warren of streets with their beautiful buildings, shops,etc. We did not have a car so were dependent upon public transportation and took the bus a couple of times to nearby towns, including a visit to the sea with a pot of delicious mussels for lunch. A big thank you to Sandra for our great séjour in Pézenas!

Muchas gracias Sandra¡¡
Disfrutamos mucho del apartamento de Sandra en agosto de este verano. Ella respondía siempre con mucha rapidez a todas nuestras dudas. El apartamento estaba muy limpio y cuidado. Sólo echamos de menos que la terraza tuviera alguna lámpara. Lo recomendamos sin duda¡¡

Appartement parfait dans une petite ville absolument charmante
Nous avons adoré notre séjour à l’appartement François et nous n’avons que de bons mots pour l’appartement, Pezenas et la région. L’appartement est très, très confortable, très propre, meublé et décoré avec goût et très bien équipé. La cuisine est très grande et équipée de tous les ustensiles nécessaires et de plusieurs couverts. De nombreux aliments de base (épices, café, huile, etc.) étaient à notre disposition ainsi que des produits nettoyants et divers papiers. Les deux chambres (avec des lits confortables et une literie de qualité) et les deux salles d’eau permettent facilement à une famille ou à deux couples d’y séjourner. Nous avons grandement apprécié l’air climatisé, la charmante terrasse et la tranquillité de l’appartement et ce malgré qu’il soit situé dans la partie piétonne et plus touristique de la ville.  Nous avons adoré être situé dans ce quartier très charmant et très mignon de Pezenas. On y trouve facilement de tout. La propriétaire nous a transmis de nombreuses informations et renseignements sur l’appartement, les stationnements et les choses à faire et à visiter aux alentours qui nous ont été forts utiles et qui ont agrémenté notre séjour dans cette région. Les communications avec la propriétaire ont toujours été rapides, efficaces et très sympathiques. Pezenas est un lieu parfait à habiter pour visiter et rayonner dans cette magnifique région que ce soit pour visiter l’étang de Thau, Montpellier et Bézier, le canal du midi et plusieurs petits villages médiévaux de la région. Nous recommandons donc sans hésitation cet appartement et nous serions heureux d’y revenir un jour.

Perfect place to enjoy a very characterful and beautiful town.
Pezenas is a hidden treasure. A stunning town. The flat was right at the heart of it all and so comfortable, well appointed and welcoming. Just perfect for us. Lots and lots of generous touches and thoughtfulness. Thank you so much! We had a wonderful week!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra B

Host profile image
After spending a sabattical year in France, our family knew we wanted to return one day. Buying a property was a sure way to make that happen. And this apartment ticked off all the boxes for us. Since we are still busy with our lives in Canada, we are sharing Appartement Francois with guests who have the same interest and desire to enjoy 'la belle vie.'

Why they chose this property

Appartement Francois is in the historic centre of Pezenas so it is within walking distance of everything you need. It is also quiet, and all on one level. It is a place we could see ourselves living in as it provides ease of movement and spacious areas throughout the layout.

What makes this property unique

Even though it is located amongst busy shops and restaurants, the apartment is set back from the street. It is accessed via one of those cobbled entry ways so common in Europe. You feel you are a part of everything and yet insulated from too much of anything. The terrace is a great place to spend time and enjoy meals, easily prepared in the kitchen just inside.
