Could not ask for a more beautiful location. It was especially lovely in the evenings. The location cannot be beat as we were close to restaurants, but the apartment was very peaceful. The apartment had everything we needed and the most gorgeous view. We rented bikes and went up and down the coast a bit. We made many good memories!

Great apartment for a relaxing holiday

We spent a week in Ganiville. It is a lovely apartment with fantastic views from the terrace, we spent many an hour watching the boats go by. It’s in easy walking distance from restaurants and the town. The market on Tuesday was definitely worth a visit. Although there is a space in the garage, it’s only really suitable for a small car. We parked in the parking close by without a problem.

Great Location

We'd planned a long weekend in Marseillan in October and were so pleased to find this lovely apartment was available for our dates. It is in such a great location, just around the corner from the port with all the restaurants and a short walk into the town. Simply and tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Fantastic view across the lagoon form the spacious balcony. Lovely appointed bathroom, but no proper shower, only a shower over the bath, which means showering one handed, but we managed. Great kitchen, with a good range of crockery and equipment and induction hob, however there is only a combination microwave oven, which could be challenging if you prefer a proper oven... but with so many restaurants nearby you don't need to do much cooking. Unfortunately the weather was horrendous for the last couple of days we were there, but we could easily imagine how fabulous it must be in summer. We'd definitely consider staying here again, but not quite so late in the season.

Toller Rückzugsort mittendrin

⸻Tolle Wohnung in super Lage!Mitten im Geschehen, aber trotzdem angenehm ruhig – perfekt zum Abschalten. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet, es war alles da, was man braucht. Die Dachterrasse ist ein Highlight, allerdings wetterabhängig. Besonders positiv: Vermieterin und Verwalterin sind super nett und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt – klare Empfehlung!

Wonderful location and view with a few drawbacks

The appartement with its large terrace offers a wonderful view of the outer harbor of Mareillan and across the Etang to the hill of Sete by day and night. The sunny mornings at the end of February were perfect for breakfast outside. Unfortunately, the fans for the heating/air conditioning of the building on the roof hum very unpleasantly, which disturbs the peace and quiet and the feeling of the sea and can sometimes be heard in bed at night (at least from me). This is the only reason why there are no 5 points for the location/surroundings rating. The apartment itself is harmoniously furnished. In the kitchen we only missed pot lids and enough wine glasses (and that in France!). For the former we used plates, for the latter we gave the apartment a cheap 12 pack from the supermarket. One bedroom has a very comfortable double bed on a high brick platform with small stairs. Very romantic. If you lie in the back and don't want to wake your partner when getting in or out of bed, it requires a certain amount of acrobatic practice. The communication with the owner was very pleasant. Unfortunately, her manager never replied to my messages. Well, we had no problems to discuss, but it would be nice to receive at least a short confirmation that she received our messages. The apartment is rather expensive and you have to be prepared to spend some extra euros for the wonderful view. All together we had a wonderful time here.
