Stay in Marseillan

The house is in a little back street with a roof terrace, very comfortable with everything you need, little touches like a shaving mirror which is very useful but not usually found in holiday homes! Nice to have a spacious bedroom with lots of storage. We were welcomed by a neighbour who gave us a lovely lemon cake. We were able to drive in to load and unload but if you have a large car you might find this difficult. Perfect for a couple.

Gemütlicher Sommerurlaub

Als erfahrene Marseillan-Ville-Urlauber wussten wir natürlich, was uns erwartet. Man muss es mögen und wir mögen es und nehnmen Glockengeläut, Müllabfuhr und Straßenreinigung (gerne schon mal um 5 Uhr morgens) aber auch Renovierungsarbeiten in den Nachbarhäusern in Kauf. Dafür bedankt sich die quirlige Altstadt mit seinem typischen, mediterranen Flair. Das Ferienhaus mit seiner genialen Dachterrasse ist sauber und gepflegt, die Küchenmöbel incl. Inventar sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und riechen etwas muffig. Hier könnte nachgebessert werden.

Wonderful

Such a lovely house in a great location in the centre of beautiful Marseillan. A two minute walk from shops and restaurants. Five minutes to the lovely port. The roof terrace is a gem with plenty of room and it gets the evening sun for drinks when you get back from your days adventures. Lovely big rooms, a great shower with plenty of power and good air conditioning, Easy booking and arrival process and great communications with the lovely hosts. We certainly hope to return.

French village experience

Authentic home. Spent a lot of time biking and on the beach. Relaxed at Marine Hotel. Restaurant food was very ordinary. Restaurants didn’t open until 7pm and mostly weren’t suitable for children unless you like pizza. It was our second visit and so we knew what to expect.

Wonderful stay in Marseillan

This pretty town house is perfectly situated - we enjoyed walking to the pretty port of Marseillan and exploring the local area around the Etang de Thau. The roof terrace is a lovely spot to have breakfast. Everything we needed was provided - and the welcome bottle of wine was much appreciated.

Très bon séjour

Petite maison de ville au calme et très bien située dans le centre-ville à proximités des commerces et des halles. Nous avons profité de la terrasse le matin pour le petit déjeuner car son accès au dernier étage n'est pas facile (dernières marches assez hautes) et pas de possibilité de cuisiner en haut. Idéal pour deux personnes.

1 Woche pure Entspannung!

Liebevoll renovierter Altbau in guter, ruhiger Lage mit toller Ausstattung, die keine Wünsche offen lassen sollte. Die Treppen im Haus sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Insgesamt haben wir uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und bei bestem Wetter gut erholt. Sehr weitläufiger Strand nur wenige Kilometer entfernt, vielfältige Unterhaltungs- und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.

ideales kleines Stadthaus

Das Stadthaus eignet sich ideal für 2 Personen. Diese sollten allerdings mobil sein, da hier die oberen 2 Etagen über eine steile enge Treppe verbunden sind. Die Einrichtung war perfekt für unseren Urlaub. Der Vermieter Enzo war bei Fragen wegen einer kleinen Reparatur ständig zu erreichen und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir würden jederzeit gern wiederkommen.

Ideal für zwei Personen

Marseillan Ville ist genau der richtige Urlaubsort für uns. Das wissen wir schon seit 2009, als wir unseren ersten Urlaubsaufenthalt dort genossen. Auch in diesem Jahr haben wir uns ein schönes Ferienhaus in den verwinkelten Gassen der historischen Altstadt ausgesucht. Da wir zum ersten Mal ohne Kinder unterwegs waren, haben wir bei der Suchanfrage zwei Personen angegeben und sind auf dieses Objekt (Für bis zu 3 Personen gestoßen) Für die dritte Person steht lediglich ein Klappsofa im Wohn-Ess-Kochbereich zur Verfügung. Das muß man wissen, wenn man das Objekt tatsächlich zu dritt mieten möchte. Im Vorfeld waren wir wegen der fehlenden Bilder der Sanitäreinrichtungen etwas besorgt, trafen vor Ort allerdings ein Bad mit Dusche und WC an, was unsere Sorgen als unbegründet erscheinen lies. Hier sollte die Agentur die Internetanzeige vielleicht nachbessern. Das fehlende Sternchen bei Sauberkeit entspricht lediglich der Tatsache, dass hier und da eine Stelle war wo man mit einem feuchten Lappen nochmal drüber hätte wischen müssen aber die Gesamtsauberkeit war schon in Ordnung. Für die Agentur gibt es den Punktabzug wegen allzu penetranter Zahlungsaufforderung. Wir haben die Buchung an einem Samstagnachmittag (war auch noch Monatsende) und die Zahlung über unser Kreditinstitut in Auftrag gegeben, das dies am darauffolgenden Montag auch erledigt hat. Dazwischen lagen zahlreiche " wir erinnern Sie...bitte sofort.....möglichst heute noch.....letzte Möglichkeit sonst ist die Buchung storniert.....usw." Mails, was einem das Wochenende schon verderben kann! Mit Herrn Ascenzi, dem Eigentümer haben wir sehr angenehmen e-mail Kontakt gepflegt und können Ihn und sein schönes Ferienhaus guten Gewissens weiter empfehlen. Birgit und Armin

wonderful town house

we loved our holiday here, everything you could wish for was there, the house itself was charming, the roof terrace much larger then we thought, location was brilliant, we could not fault it at all, the one and only negative was we arrived early hours of the morning all shops were closed it would of been nice to have had a bottle of milk or water left in fridge, but no way would it stop us using this house or recommending it, brilliant

A fabulous rental in a fabulous town.

3rd visit to Marseillan and best rental yet. Lovely quiet street, traditional house with the terrace being the best bit. We spent most of our time on the terrace when we weren’t at the beach or elsewhere. It is very private and, although the stairs are tricky for carrying food and drink, eating outside on the private terrace was fabolous. The property has all you need and with air conditioning and shutters it is easy to regulate any noise or heat.

About the host

Hosted by Enzo Ascenzi and Katherine Smyth

Host profile image
I am an Italian Veterinary Surgeon working in Northern Ireland. Born and bred Italian, and I worked on small animals in Italy for a short time before moving to Kenya (Amboseli National Park) where I deepened my knowledge on behaviour of African wildlife, especially wild cats and elephants. I then moved to England where I worked for the Department of Agriculture before making my last move to Northern Ireland were I also work for the Department of Agriculture. Here I met my partner Katherine who is Irish and she introduced me to the Languedoc a few years ago. Since then I never looked back and last year we decided to buy a property there. I love the local culture, that reminds me a lot about Italy, and attitude. I love the food, the wines and, most of all, the lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

The house is really charming and traditional. We loved it from the first viewing and we are very happy about it. It is located in one of the traditional narrow streets which are characteristic of the old Marseillan town centre. Our plan is to keep it as traditional as possible, avoiding excess of modernity.
