Great property & heated pool!

A great family house with lovely outdoor space and heated pool. Good location to venture into the countryside by foot or car. So much to do in the area. The hosts suggested activities were really helpful and we really enjoyed our week in this lovely property.

An Authentic French Experience

This house is set in a small French village with incredible views and a pool that is perfect for cooling down or relaxing by. The bedrooms were well presented and the dining areas were lovely areas to gather. There was also a suggestion booklet of places to visit which was well received as we had hire cars and were able to visit beautiful lakes, beaches and caves during our stay. There are many quaint streets to explore and one evening we had the joy of watching locals gather in the square while listening to a band. The local town Pezenas is definitely worth a visit with many shops and restaurants to explore in the evenings. If you're looking for an authentic French experience this is the ideal place to stay. You won't be disappointed to wake up and look out at the views.

Great family holiday in Aumes

During the whole process Julie was very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The information pack prior to arrival was great and very insightful. The house was very comfortable for 6 adults and 2 under 2s and the pool was a great 'playground' for all. The shades areas were lovely for lunches and relaxing out of the sun. The Gite was very comfortable with the kitchen/livingroom area and the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. The village is very pretty, it has a playground and a shop for various items incl coffee to drink in the square. There are several outing destinations within a short /reasonable drive. I would highly recommend this as a holiday home.

Brilliant house in Aumes

We stayed for two weeks over Easter. Gorgeous townhouse right on village square. Easy parking right outside. Entry via a little door in the garden wall. Enclosed courtyard with lovely big pool surrounded by planting. Super outside dining area big enough to entertain another family. House spacey and comfortable. Decor simple and stylish. Bedrooms large, beds incredibly comfortable. Kitchen well equipped with huge fridge freezer. Swimming in pool with church steeple and big plane tree in square overhead. Lots of pool toys for kids. Manager helpful and responsive. Julie provided loads of extra info that was really useful. Felt very welcomed (unlike many corporate rentals in the UK). Even had a holiday cat to delight of kids. Great area with loads to do. Village shop great for bread and croissants, big Carrefour close by in Pezenas. We had a really great time and wouldn't hesitate to return.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Branch

We are a family of 4 who previously lived in France while the children were very young. They enjoyed a completely carefree and happy childhood in the wonderful South of France a world away from the pressures of modern life in the UK. We decided to return just prior to their secondary education and they are now loving living in a City for the first time. We visit France as much as we can and it is a true second home for us, when we are "in residence" it seems that most of the village children are resident with us! Hope you enjoy the house as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We bought the house as for us (and we think you will agree) it is in a perfect location - 5 minutes from Pezenas and in a lovely setting within one of the prettiest villages in the surrounding area. The climate is superb, with glorious long summers and short and sunny winters. There are loads of festivals and events throughout the year and the local produce and seafood are out of this world. Eating oysters and drinking local Pinet wine in a little quayside restaurant in Bouziques is one of our favourite things. Did I mention the wine, locally produced Noilly Pratt and delicious olive oils!

What makes this property unique

The village of Aumes is in a great location surrounded by vineyards. There is a tennis court, football pitch and shady squares to sit and soak up the atmosphere plus excellent hiking and cycling trails. There is a shop selling groceries, bread and croissants and a post office. Close by are two market towns for a great selection of restaurants, markets, bars and cafes plus banks, supermarkets and antique shops. Nearby are great beaches, rivers for swimming and kayaking, cultural attractions and year round festivals.
