Guest comments
Spent a lovely time in this well equipped villa. Children loved the swimming pool and the trampoline. June 2011
A lovely week in the La Clape area cycling swimming, wining and dining was a great pleasure. Villa was a perfect vacation home. June 2011
A lovely stay the villa was quiet and comfortable and the pool great. Easter 2011
Fantastic stay, great facilities for the kids and really well equipped holiday home - a real home from home. Loved walks in the village.
A wonderful holiday and a very comfortable house with very welcoming hosts. We loved walking on the beach at Narbonne and the Jazz evening. So much to do and too little time to fit it all in.
Lovely villa which suited all of us. Our oldest grandchild 4 years learnt to swim in the pool which was kept at a lovely warm temperature. We enjoyed the location, being in a traditional french village but within easy reach of beach and places of interest. Thank you so much.
