French Style in the South

Biggest Pluses: The grace and originality of the place.
About the locale: Pezenas offers so much of what people look for in the South West of France. Milder winters, lots of sunshine, but it has a unique feel to it. It is certainly a 'discovered' town but (with the exception of the peak summer), it does not lose its charm. Plenty of restaurants and shops but also a sense of a friendly, residential town where people have put down roots. Two disadvantages: it is prone to the winds (Tramontine) which cool in the summer (good) but can blast in the winter. It also lacks a train station'; one really does need a car.
  • Rooms: Two bedrooms, livingroom + kitchen/dining area
  • Baths: 1 with shower only
  • Guests: 6
  • Price Category: market pricing
Who is this place perfect for?: Two single persons, or two couples who don't have a problem with stairs, and don't mind sharing a bath...and like their apartments with a sense of style

Description

One thing that one notices right away is the style of the apartment — not your bland cookie-cutter at all, yet everything works! Original touches and high end equipment (Smeg oven and cooktop) are throughout the apartment. Touches of good taste and originality are throughout. The kitchen is outstanding. The location of the apartment is great — at the pedestrian end of the street, only 2 minutes from the old historical quarter and a short walk from the car park. Two large sized double bedrooms make it ideal for two couples or two singles.

How do I book a property? 

  1. Contact:  Fill out the form below
  2. Conversation*: when we receive the form, we will contact you to schedule a conversation to make sure both this property and this location are a good match for your priorities and preferences. (Let us know in the form whether you prefer to be contacted by phone or email.)  
  3. Match! Once we feel sure that both you and the property owner have an excellent chance of having a positive experience…
  4. Go! We connect you directly with the owner. They share availability, prices & details of their booking process.  You book directly with them. 

*Matching vs. selling: this will NOT be a sales call.  Under no circumstance, during our conversation, are you under any obligation.  We act as a matchmaker and advisor for people wanting to try out the notion of living in France.  We believe a crucial step in that try-out is a longer stay in France, focused on the possibility of a life, vs. a vacation, in France.  We know that many property owners particularly appreciate this ‘longer-staying’ client, particularly in the non-peak seasons.  To understand this “matching vs. selling” approach better, we invite you to become a part of the community, join us on our website,  Finding Your French Town or our Facebook Group. Trying Our France, where our community of France-lovers encourage one another.

Season *
Spring season is roughly from Feb 1 through April 15th. Fall season is roughly Sept 15th through November 15th. We specifically look for property availability in the non-peak season, when owners/managers can offer considerably lower prices
Length of time *
(Longer stays are defined as always more than 30 days and less than 90) Our longer stays are, at a maximum 88 days. The 88 days (vs. 90) is because for many non-EU visitors, 90 days is the maximum stay allowed, and both the travel days to and from France are included in the count, ergo, you would only be staying in the accommodation a maximum of 88 days.
Completing this form also fortifies our Cheaper by the Dozen effect — registering your interest in this property comes with no obligation, but can help us lower the price for everyone.

I started Longer-Stays because I prefer living someplace over touring.  I’ve spent the better part of my life travelling…..and staying.  My idea of hell is packing and repacking a suitcase.  My idea of heaven is finding a spot that suits you perfectly and then learning to know it  — the spot, the locale, the people — in a deeper way.

The main platforms for vacation rentals are all about ‘vacation’, i.e. short-term and are long on superficial checklists and short on deeper connections.  Longer-stays truly wants to matchmake you to your perfect place.  Unless indicated, our descriptions are written by a person who has stayed in the property  (vs. the person marketing the property)  We work hard to give you the full picture, pluses and minuses of the property and the town, included.

So, if you like this property, schedule a conversation with us.  Once we’re sure we’re serving your goals for your longer stay, we happily connect you to your host who you deal with directly.
