There is also a new petrol station and Carrefour Supermarket opening Easter 2025 on the roundabout on the entrance to the village about 400m away. This will be extremely convenient.

Lots of cycle paths, particularly around the nature reserve of Vendres Etang. Ruins of an old Roman Temple of Venus and an Aqueduct. You can cycle to the beach in 15 mins by just going out the back of the house.
Valras has activities on all the time from music events, circus, go-karting, markets & local festivals. Large Carrefour in Serignan(open 7 days), Lidl & other shops. Valras is a vibrant town with a great holiday feel & a whole host of restaurants & shops. A market open every day of the year selling: coquillages, charcuterie, boulangerie, epsicerie.

Due to the prolonged drought in the south of France the garden has suffered in recent years. We have recently had extensive gardening undertaken to remove some dead shrubs and trees. We are moving to a more sustainable garden that is less reliant on watering. Also much of the invasive bamboo has been removed and beds have been replanted. To reflect this we have kept the rental prices unchanged.

Perfect home for a chill vacation

By Sara L. on 14-Jul-2019

5/5 Stayed Jun 2019 With the warm weather, blue skies, we spent a lot of time in the pool and had all meals outside. The house is a mini-paradise. The home and property is very clean. The pool area can be closed off at night, which makes it very safe with young kids. The hosts are very responsive. The lovely backyard, a patio, lounge area, bright flowers and grass makes it a dream to read, chat or play outside. While the town is pretty small, it still has a few good shops and a market a few days a week. We had a lovely holiday. Thank you! Published 14 Jul 2019

Very pleasant stay

By Claire P. on 03-Jun-2019

5/5 Stayed May 2019 We enjoyed a lovely week here! The house is well equipped and the house provided an excellent spacious safe environment for children. Having the pool cover was super because you could be safe in the knowledge the children could roam freely and safely and they equally loved the pool - much swimming was done! Lovely large areas for enjoying meals and an evening drink and the area is excellently places for visits to Montpellier and Valras-Plage was a real treasure. The French people in the area were super friendly and helpful and we would definitely think of coming back again! Thank you for creating a lovely comfortable space! Published 3 Jun 2019

Sehr schönes Haus an guter Lage

By Marco D. on 11-Aug-2023

5/5 Stayed Jul 2023 Hat alles gepasst. Das Haus ist sehr schön und grosszügig eingerichtet. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Nebenan ensteht ein neues Quartier. Der Baulärm war fast nicht hörbar und dadurch nicht störend. Die Arbeiter waren auch nicht lange vor Ort. Das Dorf Vendres bietet ein paar kleine Läden für das Nötigste (zwei Bäckereien, Spezialitätenladen und ein kleiner Shop für alles andere). Der Carrefour ist für Grosseinkäufe auch in ein paar Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Strände sind auch nur wenige Auto Minuten entfernt. Am Abend ist es in Vendres sehr ruhig (was uns sehr gefallen hat). Die Broschüre des Vermieters hat einige gute Tipps für Ausflüge, Restaurants, etc. 11 Aug 2023
