Vacation Rental Description
L’Orangier is located on a secure complex with a communal pool in the quiet village of Portiragnes-Plage. It is only a short walk from the village square with its local amenities, restaurants and bars. It is also ideally situated a 10 minute walk from the beautiful blue flag sandy beach, which being shallow, is very child friendly. The house is in a quiet and peaceful location, no high rise buildings, next to a nature reserve yet it is only a 15 minute drive from Beziers with its cathedral and shops. 
 
The conservatory, with its glass sliding doors, opens fully onto the enclosed garden and patio area providing a safe environment for small children and allows guests to enjoy dining al fresco style with enough seating for eight people. Only a few doors down is the communal swimming pool (unheated), open mid-June to mid-September, and the house benefits from a private parking space directly outside. With a kingsize bed in the master ensuite bedroom (shower only), a further double and one twin room upstairs with shower room, it is ideal for families or groups of friends wanting to explore this wonderful area and have a relaxing holiday. There is also a comfortable sofabed in the lounge. Bed linen & towels are provided but guests must bring their own beach towels. 
 
The Languedoc region borders the Mediterranean sea with its spectacular coastline, the Pyrenees mountain range and the fabulous Camargue, famous for its beautiful white wild horses.

Summers are hot and temperatures frequently reach 30C plus in July and August.

It is only a 45 minute drive away. For those wanting to take a trip to the vibrant city of Barcelona, it is easily reached by motorway in just over 3 hours.

    Owners Profile
    L'Orangier - comfortable, child friendly luxury

    We've rented many houses ourselves, some good, some not so good. Having bought L'Orangier, we wanted to recreate the good aspects with a home-from-home feeling, giving comfort with a bit of luxury. The house is fresh & bright, newly furnished a year ago with plenty of seating and co-ordinating fabrics. As we have a young family, we wanted to ensure it was a safe environment for them, providing them with all that they entail such as toys, cots etc. We also wanted to pass these benefits on to our guests, cutting down on the need to travel with heavy items. The kitchen is fully equipped to allow easy dining in and as the conservatory doors open fully, it provides a relaxing atmosphere to spend a warm summer's evening, especially if the kids are in bed!

    There are however plenty of restaurants to choose from for a lovely meal out, in Portiragnes-Plage itself or a few miles up the road in Portiragnes Village and an exceptional restaurant at Villeneuve-les-Beziers.

    The other thing we liked is the proximity to the beach which is literally a 10 minute walk so no need to drive and also the pool, great for a change of scene and a refreshing dip.

    We'll be spending a few weeks ourselves there every summer for the foreseeable future and hope our children grow up with many happy memories of L'Orangier.
