The Distillery of Pézenas, a relaxing break near Montpellier
The City Guide of the Midi Libre newspaper highlighted the Distillery of Pézenas among the recommendations of places to offer a relaxing break a few minutes from Montpellier.
“It’s not only on the coast where you can take it easy. More and more upscale hotels contain a spa. This is the case with the Distillery of Pézenas ** **. In the heart of the town of Molière, this former distillery, rehabilitated into a boutique hotel residence , offers 50 rooms, apartments and suites, as well as a wine bar, a library lounge and a bistro -restaurant.
Upon entering the huge courtyard, the building impresses. Inside, royal red, the dominant color , reflects the historic ties of the city and the place. Wine, the arts, and in particular the theater, are omnipresent in this birthplace of winegrowers, now decorated in a chic and industrial flea market spirit.
The reception of the spa, open to outside customers, is done directly from the parking lot. Jacuzzi pool, hammam, herbal tea corner, treatment cabins … the 200 m² overlook a “tasting” garden . Love apple trees, spice gardens, vegetable patch … the exterior is very neat.
Michelle, the spa manager, talks about her approach. “My training as an energetician allows me to take care of people as a whole “. For six years, she has instilled her principles in her team and pushes the demand to concoct herself her essential oils of lavender, peppermint, thyme, coconut, tiare … for her followers customers.
The atmosphere is certainly different, but this place inspires serenity, well-being, inner calm . We are surprised to think that the jets and the big bubbles of the jacuzzi would almost disturb this ambient zenitude . “
