Domaine Saint Hilaire is a beautiful working wine estate that’s idyllically situated in the heart of Languedoc region of the South of France and only a short distance from the sea. The elegant country house, which is nestled between sprawling private parklands and an award-winning vineyard, can comfortably accommodate 12 guests. You’ll be immediately impressed upon arrival. An antique door opens into a stylishly furnished holiday home. There’s a sleek, well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, which leads into a lovely dining room, where guests can admire pool and park views. Antique French chandeliers and tiled floors combine effortlessly with contemporary finishing touches, whilst the estate’s rich history is evidenced from artefacts belonging to the former owner, the famous baron Hilaire Reynaud, who gave the property the name Saint Hilaire when he purchased it in 1817.

The holiday accommodation is exceptionally spacious, with a variety of different living spaces. Enjoy a board game in the living room with fireplace, grab a book from the library or watch a movie in the 'cinema'.
