The house itself recalls an Italian palazzo, with soaring ceilings, an original stone staircase and historic arches running through three floors of generous living space. Practical comforts have been added without disturbing the character, including reversible air heat pumps.Pézenas itself is one of the most characterful towns in the Hérault, known for its antique shops, theatre heritage and weekly market, with Béziers and the coast both within easy reach.
