Beautiful characterful home. Excellent location within a quiet village with small store yet convenient for Pezanes and its wider facilities. Easy drive for Bezier Airport. In all best home we have rented in France over the last few years.
A lovely property in a charming village. However, I wouldn’t recommend the property for young children because of the tricky stairs. The top floor is a complete no-go and quite dangerous with a gap in the handrail.
When we arrived it appeared as though the property hadn’t been used for a while. It wasn’t particularly clean and the garden was a mess. We stayed for three weeks and were told a gardener would be coming but none appeared. There were unsightly weeds everywhere some of which we ended up removing ourselves.
The cushions for the sunloungers were well used and quite dirty.
The kitchen was well equipped but all the knives were blunt.
We had to get maintenance out twice to fix the plumbing in the main house and the separate gite.
We hired bikes but the roads around the village particularly in to Pézenas were busy and we ended up hardly using them.
The pool was also tricky as there wasn’t much space around about it and because the garden is so overgrown it was constantly covered in leaves and insects.
Overall whilst we loved the area where there is lots to see and do, sadly we were disappointed with the accommodation.
Excellent village location, good parking, vell fitted out, great pool , spacious rooms, quiet area, a few km to all anenities, small local store with friendly owners to get fresh croisants or order for the morning
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great property with a swimming pool that was much appreciated by our family as the temperature was very warm- in the mid to high 30s Celsius some days.
Lots of room for the family. Most had never been to France before.
The Owners were very good to us and responded quickly to any questions about the property we had.
We had a wonderful week. The house is beautifully situated with plenty to do in the local area to amuse children and grand parents alike. The list of recommended activities was so helpful and we adored exploring this beautiful part of France. The house exceeded our expectations. We would definitely be keen to return.
Lovely house in charming small French village. Very nice pool and sitting area in small garden and relaxing fireplace. We will be back
Très jolie maison dans petite village. Pool bien entretenu, cheminée pour le soir. Nous recommendons et vont retourner.
Sehr schönes Haus in kleinem Dorf. Sehr schöner Pool geschützter kleiner Garten mit hübschen Sitzgelegenheiten. Wohnzimmer mit Kamin. Wir haben es genossen und kommen gerne wieder.
Wir haben die Ferien sehr genossen
Entspannt am Pool oder unterwegs bei Besichtigungen.
Essen oder Schlendern in Pezenas empfehlenswert.
Essen am Hafen von Meze auch ein Highlight.
Besichtigung von Guilhem le Desert ein Muss
Zum Haus:
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig
Alle Zimmer gut ausgestattet.
Klimaanlage im Flur reicht aus um das Haus schön kühl zu belassen.
Küche ist gut ausgestattet(könnte evtl mehr Besteck vorhanden sein)
Kühlschrank mit Eisspender genial genauso wie die Kaffeemaschine.
Einziges B-Mol ist die Beleuchtung in Küche und Wohnzimmer sowie das Sofa..das könnte mittlerweile erneuert werden.
Aber rundum ein gelungener Urlaub in einem schönen Haus mit Charme in einem kleinen ruhigen Ort..
Ist nur zu empfehlen
We had a wonderful holiday in France in Julies house. The pictures show very well, what the house looks like. We were not satisfied with the air conditioning. There is one on each floor and ideally there should be one in each room. We think our check in was late 5 PM, and we had to check out at 10 AM. I do not know what goes on in those 7 hours. The kitchen equipment was a bit limited - only just enough knives and glasses. All the ideas you get for what to do are very good, but they are not quite realistic. Julie is a conscious host, she always replies to your inquiries.
An amazing place which fully lived up to our expectations. We had an amazing week in this beautiful house in the middle of the small village of Aumes. Plenty of space and a large pool. Everything worked well, from booking, to checkin etc. I can highly recommend this house and Julie & Jeff as hosts.
Thank you.
Ein romantisches Haus mit herrlichem Pool. Obwohl die Einrichtung etwas in die Jahre gekommen und sehr rustikal ist, haben wir uns wohl gefühlt.
Die Lage neben der Dorfkirche ist so idyllisch und das nächste Städtchen Pezenas zauberhaft. In Aumes ist zwar gar nichts. Aber von dort aus kann man gute Ausflüge unternehmen. Mit den Gastgebern kann man auch gut kommunizieren.
Julie was an amazing host, very responsive to messages etc and the house was lovely. The surrounding area also lovely to and the food truck at cote Mas is definitely worth a visit for lunch. The kitchen is well supplied and we had some fabulous meals in and out in the surrounding area. Thanks Julie
Excellent. Julie was always very helpful and responsive and provided terrific recommendations on things to do in the area. We would definitely go back!
Very nice property with a nice and very good equiped kitchen. Nice bedrooms with good working airco's. The garden is tiny. Actually there is mainly a pool with 2 terraces and on de side of the pool there is enough space for sunbeds. This is not really a problem especially if you think of the central location in the village, right across the church. The surroundings are very beautifull and well maintained. Most of the surroundings are occupied by vineyards with nice little roads to take a stroll.
We had a wonderfull time and would like to go back some day!
The house is just how it is showed in the photographs. Set in a lovely quiet location. The pool and seating area is amazing and is where we spent most of our time at the house. It is a very comfortable house and well stocked. We love this part of France.
Great family holiday in a lovely house, we enjoyed the house so much we didn't venture out as much as we thought, but the great town of pezenas is an easy drive. Pool and outside space was superb. We will be back

This is a lovely property obviously much loved by the owners. They had thought of everything we like to buy local food on holiday and cook and there was no shortage of kitchen equipment........superb holiday thank you
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.
