"Pietra Viva "Luxury stone house Montpellier Pic-Saint-Loup, sauna and spa.
After 6 years of renovations Pietra Viva has become an authentic cottage. Located on the ground floor of a mansion dating from the 19th century, facing the Le Lirou river, it will welcome you during your holidays at the foot of Pic Saint-Loup. Lovers of nature and well-being, you are 15 minutes from Montpellier. Media library, Museum, hiking circuit, cellar tours, tree climbing, paintball, swimming pool and lake at 7km, beach at 30mn, beds made on arrival, you will be spoiled for choice. There is a moment for everything in life, we want to ask ourselves, to reflect, to meditate and to recharge our batteries. Each one is unique, one could make the way to Santiago de Compostela, walk along the Chinese wall or like me to work, reflect, create, transform and realize that there are no rules, but the will. I wanted to pay tribute to a man who taught me everything and educated me through sharing and working. Each stone that I dusted, reworked was different each time and guided me to be renovated in the most beautiful way. All these ancient materials made almost 200 years ago with hand-forged tools show how talented craftsmen had incomparable expertise. I was the servant of these craftsmen who worked to build this beautiful house. So thank you to them who allow us today to touch and live this beautiful heritage, of iron wood and stone ... Ludovic At 10m from the river, the croaking of frogs, the song of birds and the sound of water enchant this peaceful place! 3 minutes from the countryside you can get away on foot or by bike, or stroll through the center of the medieval village where there is a recently renovated museum! The shops are open until Sunday morning, butcher, bakery, mini-market and tobacco press, allow you to stay permanently! As well as a pharmacy on weekdays. To park, there is a parking lot, right in front of the house. To move around, the car is a solution for outdoor journeys and to go to town, you can take your car and drive only 10 minutes to the tram station, or take a bus from the gîte to the tram station.

We had a fabulous time here. The place is beautiful and have everything you need.The host Ludovic was very helpful and gave us lots of recommendations for places to see.We can only highly recommend.Thanks Ludovic for letting us stay in your beautiful home with Douglas
A most beautiful stone house that has been restored and renovated with the utmost care. The village itself is charming. The thick stone walls of the house mean it remains cool inside even in high summer. Everything you need is provided.Ludovic is an attentive and responsive host. The people in the village are friendly. There is a vinegar shop- not to be missed. And there are many lovely walks to be had - including shaded by trees. There are wineries to visit- with good wine. The sea is not so far if you want a day out.
Magnifique et paisible villa au coeur d'un village tres agréable. Idéalement située, on peut aussi bien faire de la randonnée, aller en ville ou à la plage.Ravis de ce sejour et de notre hôte toujours à l'ecoute et bienveillant.

Belle rencontre avec Ludovic qui est un hôte attentionné et à l'écoute. Sa rénovation est réalisée avec goût et sens du détail. Je recommande vivement d'y aller pour se ressourcer.
Emmanuelle et ses amis sont des personnes très sympathique, qui aiment profiter de la vie et passer de bons moments ensemble. J’ai été ravi de les recevoir. Je les recommande.
