Marseillan Waterside Holiday Home with water views from south-facing terrace.

Stylish, architect-designed home overlooking the Marseillan waters-edge from its sunny, south-facing terrace. The property is newly converted from an old Marseillan wine warehouse and enjoys stunning views across the marina and port. This attractive, new property comprises 2 bedrooms (a good sized double and large twin), a spacious living, dining and kitchen area. There is air conditioning and WIFI for guests.

The large terrace faces the south and enjoys the sun from morning until sun down in the evening. It has a table for dining with 4 chairs and four lounging chairs. In high summer the terrace enjoys sun at the front of the terrace and shade at the back (as it usually gets too hot to be in the sun all day!)The views across the waterside constantly stun. Our home is ideal for a couple, or family.

You may choose to watch people strolling along the waterside from the terrace, see the yachts and barges come and go or take a stroll around the corner to the many portside cafes and restaurants.

Changeover days tend to mainly Friday or Saturday to tie in with flights but we can be flexible if you ask by scrolling down to my name and enquiring. Mainly one/ two week bookings but monthly lets possible with non-refundable months rental deposit.

The Area:
The property is situated by the waterfront by the Port Rive Gauche and the portside cafes. It is ideally placed just a few minutes walk away from a superb watersports area - where you can paddle board, kayak or learn to wind surf there is even a 'babyski' school (from 3 years). Also past here are some tennis courts.

If holidaying with small children there is a lovely park by the waterside just a few minutes walk with childrens climbing frame, swings, skateboard area etc and brick BBQ's for all to use.

Just past the park is a new selection of stylish but simple waterside restaurants serving smoked moules, oysters and wine.

Marseillan is a lovely port and a stopping point for those travelling along the Canal du Midi. Steeped in history Marseillan is possibly the oldest village in France. The area was originally settled by the Greeks more than 2500 years ago and was a very active Roman commercial centre.

With an old village it is still relatively unknown but once you know about it beware as you will want to keep coming back! There are about 15-20 places to eat, shops selling everything you need - boulangeries, pharmacies, greengrocers, fish, meat and everyday essentials (all within a short walk).

There is much to explore in the surrounding area. You may wish to visit the old port of Sete, historical Pezenas, Carcassonne, Aigues Mortes, riverside villages, mountains, gorges and sweet villages such as Bouzigues aptly named for a bouzie, fishy lunch.
