Domaine de Gourjo - Outstanding mansion with XVIIIth Century gardens | House in Clermont-L'hérault

Stunning manor house built on a hill and dominating a park of 5 acres with French gardens designed in the 18th century, a 15-meters long swimming pool, and a covered terrace with a summer kitchen and plancha.
Set in 37 acres of vineyards, a 5-acre park and surrounded by French gardens designed in the 18th century, this substantial estate will surely seduce you. From the elegant main house, to the intricate boxwood parterre designs, passing by the basins and fountains all powered by natural springs, and finally to its endless vineyard, everything in the property conveys luxury and legacy.
Situated on a hill, the house faces south, enjoying maximum sun exposure. It is organised over 3 floor. On the ground floor, visitors are welcomed into a large wing where three adjoining reception rooms look onto the gardens and terrace. The decoration is unassuming and sophisticated throughout, perfectly blending contemporary desings with second-empire-style furniture and a few accent pieces, such as the baroque mirror on top of the mantlepiece at the far end of the reception room. Hard to miss, one of these rooms has a grand concert-grade Erhard piano. Also on this floor, guests will enjoy a formal dining room for 12 in perfect traditional style. You can enjoy a feast with your family and friends and let the rosso levanto marble mantlepiece, coffered ceilings, and chandelier transport to a forgone era. The large kitchen is equipped with all the modern appliances, a smaller dining table, and a utility room. This level is completed by a separate TV room and a toilet.
On the first floor, there are 6 large bedrooms, 5 of them have en-suite bathrooms and there is an extra dormitory room with 3 single beds (without A/C).

This is a dream holiday house! We truly enjoyed our stay and we definitely recommend this house as a great gateway. Hostesses were brilliant and made our stay even better. We will certainly be back!

We had a lovely holiday in your beautiful house. We were sixteen people over three generations and it was wonderfully spacious and well equipped for us all. Grace Nichols were very good at communicating and quick to respond to our requests. We had morning yoga sessions with a fantastic teacher who came to the house and also massages under the trees. The pool was especially lovely in what was a very hot week ! Thank you.

Het is een mooie Villa met goede binnenruimtes. Wel is alle apparatuur verouderd, maar wel werkend. Maar de buitenruimte is werkelijk spectaculair! De 18de eeuwse tuinen en alle beplantingen zijn indrukwekkend. Een volledige wijngaard waar je doorheen kan lopen. Een heerlijk groot zwembad met fijne buitenruimte en aangrenzende keuken. En tot onze verbazing kregen we een eigen kok tot onze beschikking die het ontbijt, de lunch en het schoonmaken van de keuken op zich nam. Verder is de locatie echt perfect. Op het landgoed zit je erg privé en afgelegen. Maar op 5 min lopen zitten al bijna alle voorzieningen die je nodig hebt en op 15min lopen een dorpje met al het andere wat je maar nodig kan hebben. Daarnaast is het een perfecte uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te ontdekken en je zit ook zo met de auto bij de haven/strand voor allemaal wateractiviteiten. Een waanzinnige tijd gehad hier. Zeer aan te raden!

Truly a magnificent holiday destination. Olivia was wonderful as was Mr Ruiz the gardener who was always helpful and with a smile. He brought us vine trimmings to smoke food on the BBQ. Peaceful gardens, everything you need within walking distance and plenty of fun things to do. Pool is delicious and the Summer kitchen (not shown in the pictures) is great too. 10/10
“Olivia was wonderful and met us at the house”
“Better than the pictures”
No parties and no loud music allowed in the evening
