About this property
On the edge of a traditional Languedoc village, Villa Libron is an attractive villa in a superb location for exploring this captivating region, less than half an hour from the Mediterranean coast. Designed with contemporary style and easy summer living in mind, Villa Libron welcomes up to 12 guests across its main villa and annexe.
The garden creates a restful setting for lazy afternoons, punctuated by the gentle splashes from the private swimming pool. A shaded summerhouse offers a great spot for long lunches or an early evening apéritif, complete with its own dining space, barbecue and WC. The villa’s other terrace flows directly from the open-plan living area and kitchen, with a covered dining area featuring a plancha for relaxed al-fresco meals.
Inside, bright, open spaces are anchored by slightly quirky furnishings adding character and warmth to the home. The main part of the villa is arranged across one upper floor, where four air-conditioned bedrooms share access to modern bathrooms and the open-plan living-dining and kitchen space ideal for gathering over food and conversation. A self-contained annexed apartment, accessible from outside, offers an additional kitchenette, a family quad bedroom, a bathroom and a double sofa bed.
Located on one of the roads leading to the village, it’s only 700m to the medieval lanes of Puissalicon, one of Languedoc’s traditional circulade villages, with its distinctive Roman tower, bakery, wine shop and an excellent local restaurant. The neighbouring village of Magalas provides further dining and shopping options, while the nearby town of Béziers offers vibrant markets, festivals and culture just 15km away.
The Mediterranean is also within easy reach, whether you prefer the lively waterfronts of Cap d’Agde or the soft sands of quieter beaches only 25 minutes from your door.
For those seeking a wonderful private pool, open-plan living space and a taste of southern French village life, Villa Libron delivers all the right notes.
Villa Libron is located just outside the historic village of Puissalicon, only 15km north of the vibrant town of Béziers. This captivating corner of the Languedoc is renowned for its rustic charm and easy access to both rolling countryside and the glittering Mediterranean coast.
Located on one of the main roads leaving the village, you can reach the historic centre of Puissalicon in around 700m (no pavement if walking for the first 400m). Puissalicon is one of the region’s iconic circulade villages – a medieval design of spiralling stone houses that lead to a striking Roman tower at its heart. In the village you’ll find a bakery, grocery store, post office and an excellent restaurant and wine shop, making it easy to embrace a laid-back village lifestyle. The larger village of Magalas (2.5km) offers even more choice with pizzerias, café bars a supermarket, banking facilities and a train station.
With an ocean of vines, this area is prime Languedoc wine territory. Numerous local caves welcome guests for tastings and direct purchases of the region’s celebrated reds and crisp rosés. The surrounding countryside is also ideal for walkers and nature-lovers, with scenic vineyard strolls and more adventurous hiking in the nearby Haut-Languedoc Regional Park, just 30 minutes away, offering gorges, waterfalls and wild hilltop views.
Just 20km away lies the bustling town of Pézenas, famed for its Saturday market, antique shops and rich artistic heritage. Béziers (15km) is a cultural hotspot with wide boulevards, excellent restaurants and the enchanting Canal du Midi. A little further afield, days by the sea await, from the family-friendly sands of Valras-Plage (30km) to the lively beach clubs and waterparks of Cap d’Agde (40km).
