Nestled in the winding streets of the medieval village of Vias (2 km. from sandy Vias Beach), La Belle Cour is comprised of two delightful early 19th century village houses which have been beautifully restored, retaining original beams and deep stone walls, and now form one property, set around a charming private courtyard. A perfect base to explore the fascinating Languedoc region, the restful little village of Vias is surrounded by rolling hectares of vineyards, yet is just minutes from long sandy beaches to the south, historic towns such as Pezenas (well known also for the multitude of antique/brocante shops on the outskirts of town) and Beziers to the north, and interesting day trips in every direction. All necessary amenities (including the best bakery just around the corner, and restaurants from simple to elegant) are steps away. From a narrow village lane, step into La Belle Cour’s flowery and quiet private courtyard with a built-in bar-b-q, ancient stone sink, and comfortable table and chairs – an inviting place to relax at any hour of the day or night. From the courtyard, French doors open into a living room/dining room with traditional beamed ceiling, a cozy sofa and chairs, TV/DVD, and a dining table that seats up to 8. On the same floor is the kitchen: a bright and cheerful room with a window opening out on the courtyard, fully equipped with all you need to prepare anything from the simplest to more adventurous gourmet meals! It has a fridge/freezer, gas cook-top and electric oven, microwave, double sink, and washing machine. From the living room, a sturdy spiral staircase leads to the upper floors. On the second floor, the master bedroom has a queen size (160 cm) bed, wardrobe, and shelves for storage. French doors open to a sweet balcony overlooking the courtyard. A bathroom containing shower, tub, towel-warmer, and WC is just outside the door beside the stairway. The spiral staircase continues up to the top floor, where wide windows look over the tiled rooftops of the village, with a view towards Vias Beach. From here you can see beachfront fireworks on summer nights. The upper room is equipped with a twin bed with a pull-out bed beneath and , can be used as a sitting room or as an additional bedroom to sleep one or two. From the courtyard, stairs rise to 2 large adjoining bedrooms, both containing spacious wardrobes, one with a full size (140 cm) bed, and one with a full-size sofa bed, a balcony overlooking the courtyard, and a bathroom equipped with two washbasins, a shower, and wc.
