Leave ReviewIt was perfect
By Johannes on 28-Aug-2025It was perfect. We all (2 adults, 3 teenagers) enjoyed our stay very much. Great house with a beautiful, large garden and of course a pool in a quiet location. Everything was as in the pictures. We felt very comfortable. Easy check-in, lots of information about the area and activities and friendly, smooth communication. Highly recommend. Thank you!
The house is fantastic and in a very peaceful location
By Chris on 12-Aug-2025The house is fantastic and in a very peaceful location. Not too far to get into Beziers and surrounding areas. We’re a family of five and there was plenty of space. The pool is lovely and the views over the town, particularly in the evening, are awesome. Would definitely recommend, especially in the summertime when the pool is a must.
Cannot recommend enough!
By Joanne on 02-Aug-2025We cannot recommend enough. A beautiful house, well equipped in a wonderful spot to explore the local area. A great week!
French home from home
By Sheila on 24-May-2025Some photos exaggerate the look of a property - this did not. From the moment we walked in, it felt familiar. It is well equipped, particularly as I like cooking even on holiday. This is not a basic holiday rental house, it is a much loved home ideal for touring from and lazing around in. Pool was also beautifully looked after twice a week, with no interference. Terrace was very spacious and welcoming in the much desired sunshine. Never quite worked out the sequence of the two lots of bell ringing, which varied every few days, but caused alot of amusement. Lovely boulangerie just round the corner and superb coquillage shop - both of which we used many times!
Village house with gorgeous view
By Mira Unterfeld on 15-May-2025Our holiday at Helen's house was perfect. The house is even more beautiful than you can imagine from the photos. The location is really nice, central in the village, quiet and yet everything important can be reached quickly. Our highlight was definitely the garden and the view of the church towers of the village. We would definitely visit again!
