Guest review.
Merlot is exactly as described by the owners. When we arrived it was clean and well maintained and we were delighted by our choice. The pool is excellent and better maintained than some that we have seen. Ann and John made us feel welcome and were happy to advise us but were never intrusive. Aumes is a lovely village, peaceful and friendly with a small shop and play areas. Nearby Pezenas is a beautiful small town and we enjoyed shopping and eating there. There are many places to visit and we went to Montpellier, Sete, Meze, Cap d' Agde and Carcasonne -
This was the fifth villa that we have rented for a summer holiday and we are all agreed that it was the best. We are a family of four with two teenage children.
Thanks Ann and John for a superb holiday.
Had a super week in Merlot. Visited the beaches at Cap d’Agde, Meze, Montpellier zoo, Dinosaur Park and the historic streets of Pezenas. Recommend taking a boat trip from Meze on “Mansathau” and the Amazonian greenhouse at Montpellier zoo.
Thank you john for being so attentive.

We have really enjoyed our stay in Aumes. The house was lovely to relax in and the pool made cooling off in the heat very easy. We enjoyed BBQ’s in the evening but also eating out in Pezenas, Meze and Sete. Montagnac was lovely for a drink in the evening. The beach at Meze is lovely, and has a little shade. Lunch in the restaurants was a pleasure. Marseillan is worth a visit, the port and restaurants were lovely. We hope to make a return soon.

We have had a lovely stay here in Aumeswe have walked around the pretty little village, and even had a local lady tell us of some of its history. Had a lovely meal in pezenas, spenttwo days on the beach in Cap d’Agde. We took a trip up to the Cirque de Navacelles which was well worth visiting for the stunning views. We have visited Agde and had a meal on the river. Spent a day walking round Beziers walked around Montagnac with the rest of th time spent relaxing round the pool and socialising with our friends.
Lovely holiday, thank you.

Had fabulous two weeks in France. Enjoyed the holiday home, would love to come back, so central for everything.
Visited several attractions, we recommend the African safari park at Sigean. Also the caves in De Dargilan (roads concentrate the mind for the last 25 miles!). We hires a boat on the Canal du Midi, visited the sea aquarium in Montpellier, excellent.
All attractions good for all ages.

Thank you for a lovely stay. We really enjoyed the beach at Promenade de Mole, the gentle slope and the multitude of shells made it ideal for a toddler and older children too. The restaurants at Bouzigues are fantastic for seafood and the area has a lovely ambiance.
Pezenas was great with a whole street of “Brocante” shops if you fancy bargaining for some ancient French style. The market on a Saturday is great and the little lanes of the old town are fun to explore.
The house is very well equipped and the pool catches the most sun possible even at this last stage of the year. Thank you Ann and John for the great tips on food and wine. We have had a great time.
Russel and Clare.

Thank you for building such a cute house. All of it, inside and out is so wonderful. We felt so comfortable from the first moment on. We had hot and cold days this may but Clea (5 years old) was in the pool every day. We enjoyed the nature, the sea, collecting shells and the old historic towns. It’s good that you two came here 30 years ago so that we can have the perfect vacation!
Thank you Ann and John. Nicole, Clea and Jana.

We have had a lovely week in Merlot.Our two grandchildren Ryan (9) and Ruby (4) love the pool and the whole area. We also found great places to visit, having been here last year we returned to Meze, great beach. Saint Guilham le Desert, lovely village + history + little shops. We also found the Dinosaur Park, the Cactus Park which includes yaks, llamas,goats, sheep and ponies. It was quaint and old fashioned and we enjoyed it.
Very good stay, thanks Ann and John. All our best wishes. Mandy, Paul, Ryan and Ruby.

We would like to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Merlot. The village of Aumes is very picturesque
and the closeness to the sea was much appreciated. The house is a real “Home from Home “ and had everything we needed. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and generally lazing about. The covered terrace was great for eating outside, looking out over the village we felt part of a real French scene. Thanks Ann and John for guiding us through a few things and making our stay even better.
Couldn't have wished for more and look forward to coming back soon.
