About this property
In the heart of a bustling village, Apartment Molière is a stylish couple’s retreat set within a beautifully restored former winegrower’s estate. Once a hayloft, this first-floor apartment has been thoughtfully transformed into an air-conditioned haven of comfort, where contemporary design meets characterful original beams and calming interiors.
Up a private exterior staircase, guests step into a light-filled open-plan living space with armchairs, a dining area and a well-equipped kitchen. A pretty bedroom with a queen-size double bed awaits alongside a shower room and separate WC. Tucked beneath the low beams, the mezzanine makes a cosy nook for quiet evenings with its futon and Smart TV.
The apartment is part of the same building as the owner’s lovely Chambre d’hôtes (B&B) and guests can enjoy shared access to the wonderful garden, a real gem considering the village location, with table tennis, a hammock and a gorgeous heated swimming pool surrounded by lavender and sun loungers. Apartment guests have their very own al-fresco dining area and plancha for relaxing lunches or evening meals accompanied by local Languedoc wine.
Servian itself is a large vibrant, working village nestled in the vineyards of the Languedoc. From the apartment, it’s a very short stroll to everything you might need: bakeries, a grocery store, a small handful of places to eat and a good-sized supermarket on the village's edge. Wine-lovers will find themselves spoilt for choice with numerous domaines offering tastings just moments away.
Meanwhile, Pézenas enchants with its winding streets, artisan boutiques and cultural buzz, while Béziers offers lively markets and sweeping views from the cathedral. And when the sea calls, the Mediterranean coast is just 25 minutes away. From the family-friendly sands of Vias Plage to the lively marina at Cap d’Agde, days by the water are always within easy reach.
In the Hérault department of southern France, Apartment Molière enjoys a privileged position in the bustling medieval village of Servian, only 23km from Béziers Cap d'Agde Airport and 25 minutes from the Mediterranean coast.
Surrounded by sweeping vineyards and steeped in local tradition, Servian is a large and thriving village with medieval heritage that offers a useful range of amenities. Meanwhile, a short 15-minute drive brings you to the elegant town of Pézenas, once home to Molière, where cobbled streets wind past antique shops, artists’ ateliers and the famous Saturday morning market. With a rich history and a diverse range of restaurants and cafés, it’s the perfect spot for a day out. Throughout summer, the town comes alive with music festivals, evening markets and theatre under the stars – a cultural highlight of the region.
Wine enthusiasts will be in their element here, with Servian surrounded by some of the most prestigious wine-producing villages of the Languedoc. Numerous local domaines offer tastings and cellar-door sales, giving guests the chance to explore the region’s celebrated reds, whites and rosés right from the source. Take a scenic drive through the vines or join a guided tour for a deeper dive into this storied winemaking landscape.
To the south, Béziers (14km), one of the oldest cities in France, awaits with its hilltop cathedral and sweeping views over the River Orb. Shop in its boutiques, enjoy lunch in the old town or experience the colourful Friday flower market.
For coastal adventures, the sandy, family-friendly beaches of Vias Plage (26km), Sérignan Plage (25km) and Valras Plage (25km) are within half an hour’s reach, offering watersports, amusements and classic beach cafés, not to mention the cosmopolitan resort of Cap d'Agde (30km) with its many attractions.
Finish your days in Marseillan (24km), where the waters of the Étang de Thau meet the Mediterranean. Here, seafood reigns supreme – sample the region’s famous oysters with a glass of local Picpoul, overlooking the harbour.
