Holiday Apartment and Villa Rental, Marseillan, Nr Cap D`Agde, Languedoc, France / Beau Jardin Reviews

What a little gem! The most perfectly appointed apartment, with exclusive use of a pool, in a secluded location. The sea is a 100 yard walk away and the site of major oyster production in the region. The layout of the apartment has been thought out very carefully - the sockets are all in the right place for hairdryers and other appliances. It is immaculately decorated and maintained. The equipment is extensive; everything necessary for self-catering if preferred. Marseillan has a wealth of restaurants offering good food at varying prices. We thoroughly enjoyed a meal at Chez Philippe. Meze is a slightly larger port, but just as pretty. Just outside Meze is the Roman villa at Loupian where guided tours will show the extensive mosaics discovered on the site. Derek and Lisa are delightful hosts - the pool is cleaned every morning by 09.30 and no question is too much trouble. We would definitely recommend a stay there.

From the moment we arrived and seeing the Garden Apartment and meeting the owners, Derek and Lisa, we knew we were in for a grand holiday. The apartment and grounds, including the lovely large swimming pool were first class. Very high standard and well maintained. Everything worked - which is a change! And you could tell, speaking with Derek, that keeping the property and grounds to a high standard was important to him. The apartment and surrounding area was quiet and within an easy flat walk along side the Etang waters too the lovely port village of Marseillan. We spent two weeks at this excellent Garden Apartment and already plan to return. Our son and his wife and two small children rented - at the same time as us - Derek's other villa which was just opposite our Garden Apartment. This villa was also excellent and has its own swimming pool. Both properties were gated and well secure. For our son and his family, this was important to keep the children within the grounds of the villa. It is hard to think of any minus points to include in this review, and we cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this rented property and of course the port village of Marseillan. This was our second visit to Marseillan and it certainly will not be the last.

"Summer break 2014"
This is our second stay at the garden apartment. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Sole use of the pool was a real bonus. We have visited Fance for a number of years and feel this area is one of the best as it really feels you are on a relaxing holiday. I would recommend this apartment for anybody wanting a relaxed vacation, there are plenty of places to eat well and there are lots of places to visit.

"Happy Honeymoon"
We chose Beau Jardin as we wanted a small Gite for 2 with a pool, which was crucial for us. The apartment was very comfortable. We've been to so many where the chairs and bed and cheap but Derek and Lisa have kitted it out as though they were living in it. The patio area offered much needed shade and pool is fabulous and secluded. The local area and towns were full of character and, as well as our mission to 'generally chill out and get as much sun as possible' we mooched around Agde, Marseillan and Sete and loved it. Each restaurant we went to served great food but if we were to pick one then Chez Philippe offered best value with stunning tasty food. We didn't use the beaches until meandering back along the coast road to Montpelier on our way home and found some great ones to laze around on. Our week was truly a great holiday and honeymoon and Beau Jardin proved a perfect place to stay. We felt relaxed from day one. Thank you Derek and Lisa for a great holiday.

"Great base"
This little ground floor apartment was very comfortable for two. The King size bed was really great and just what you needed after a hard day at the beach. However, although the bed suited my 6' 4" frame the shower was a bit snug!!! The apartment was clean, tidy and well stocked. Our hosts Derek and Lisa was lovely and provided us with a complimentary ticket to the Noilly Prat distillery which was well worth the visit. Derek was very knowledgeable about the locality and where we could hire bikes which was the perfect way to get around. The apartment was 10 minutes walk from the town where there were some fantastic restaurants and a beautiful marina. All in all a lovely break and we would not hesitate to recommend the garden apartment to others (as long as they don't book when we want to go!)
