A lovely house in a wonderful town
We stayed at this lovely house Les Volets Verts in a delightful location for two weeks in July and had the most wonderful time. The house is perfectly situated for enjoying the very best of this town and the surrounding area with every facility we needed within easy walking distance including several patisseries, the best of which was just across the road next to the Cafe D’Art and restaurants and cafés in abundance throughout the town. The walk to Carrefour is also quite doable. There is a super street market on a Saturday and there was wonderful wine and food festival each of the Friday evenings on the Main Street just steps away from the house.
Les Volets Verts was very well equipped with almost everything we needed, for our stay. A microwave would however have been appreciated as at temperatures in the mid to high thirties and no air con it was really too hot to have the oven on so we ate out every evening.
Appreciating that this is a personal holiday home, we did find that storage space for our possessions and food stuffs was rather too limited, as the locked cabinets in the bathroom and filled cupboards and drawers in the kitchen, meant we had nowhere to store anything outside of the fridge. The locked wardrobe and flimsy canvass alternative in the downstairs bedroom might also be rethought.
Most of all the presence of the bed in the lounge (not shown in the picture) was rather unwelcome as it consumed far too much of an already very tight flooorspace and was not in the least bit comfortable to sit on. This along with lots of other furniture, lamps etc meant that with two 6ft plus gentlemen in our party we were struggling to move in the lounge area. This was the first rental holiday home of very many previously rented by us where we had no Wi-Fi, this was somewhat problematic when trying to plan our day trips. (Our UK personal hotspot did not work in France).
These comments are shared as constructive rather than critical feedback as aside from these points we really did like the house and enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this property.
Stephanie the property manager in Pézenas was just wonderful and was very helpful and prompt in responding to questions before and during our trip. Thank you very much Stephanie.
