Agde

Nice big old property but had to make own beds on arrival and no supply of hand towels or soap. Place needed a good spring clean. Kitchen fully equipped and a decent supply of bed linen. Sadly the area left a lot to be desired - a short distance away in an alley groups of youths gathered from early evening until late. We were harassed a few times walking home. However property very close to bus and train so made it easy for sightseeing and beaches were lovely. Great weather too

Very Nice House Good Location

The house is in a great location in the old town on a quiet narrow street. It's just a minute’s walk from the shops and the Rue du 4 Septembre with its array of bars and restaurants. Here you will also find the several street markets during the week. These are excellent for food, bargain fashion goods and bric à brac. The shops nearby include a Petit Casino, a fishmongers and a fruit and veg shop. There are two boulangeries about 3 minutes walk away! The house itself is a large traditional townhouse. It is spacious and cool in the heat. The house is attractive and well equipped. It has three floors plus a secluded roof terrace. There are three flights of stairs leading to the roof terrace. From the terrace there are good views over the roof tops of the old town towards the cathedral tower and onwards to the distant Pyrenees. The roof terrace was our favourite place for breakfast and in the early evening - for nibbles and wine. It’s a good idea to use a bag to carry stuff up and down. I probably wouldn’t recommend the stairs if you are infirm or for young children. The house is only 10-15 minute’s walk from the train station which is also where you will find the bus stop for the shuttle bus for Béziers Airport. We didn’t have a car. We used the cheap and reliable public transport. Pick up maps, bus timetables and other information at the Office de Tourisme (they have wifi too). However, a good way to get around the Agde area, including the nearby beaches and marinas of the Cap d’Agde and Grau d’Agde, is by bicycle. You can also walk from the house to the beaches at Grau d’Agde. Simply follow the path by the river down to the sea. It takes 20-25 minutes. We walked down and returned by bus. In fact we particularly liked Grau d’Agde. The beach is excellent and safe for bathing and there is a good choice of attractive riverside bars, shops and restaurants. Agde restaurants we recommend are – Mare Nostrum (on the river near the cathedral). La Ribote (creperie) and Vins et Produits du Terroir both on Rue de l’Amour. Nearby towns to visit include – Pézenas (by bus) - Visit the Museum of Doors. Marseillan (by bus) – Walk around the streets of the old town and the waterfront. Visit Noilly Prat for tasters. Béziers (by train or bus) – Like Agde, Béziers is one of the oldest towns in France. From Béziers there is a 1€ train line running north along the Orb valley. Sète (by train) – Interesting attractive waterfront town known as the ‘Venice of Languedoc’.

fantastic location and wonderful view

Great location right in old town centre but peaceful lovely road. The best bit is the roof terrace but beware of 80+ stairs to get there from the ground floor, Well equipped and comfortable beds/berooms. The ground floor is very dark and can feel oppressive. However, staying in this piece of history is a real joy and owners friendly and helpful. Not for you if you have mobility problems or young children due to stairs. Sunset on the roof is magical!

Revisiting historic, beautiful, ancient Agde

Having visited Agde several times in the past, this was the first opportunity to book the 'House With the Stone Door' although I had previously thoroughly enjoyed other properties of Mediterranean Holidays, the same owners. I wish that the house had been available on previous visits. The directions were good, and from the moment I entered, everything was exactly as I had imagined, and hoped for, from the website. The handover was efficient and welcoming, the property was spotlessly clean, excellently equipped and uniquely decorated. Importantly, everything worked, including the corkscrew.. Although the house is in the 'Centre of Town', it is quiet and because of its old, massive construction, it is very pleasantly cool. The recent restoration of this ancient baker's shop (still complete with the original oven) has been superbly done keeping the atmosphere and some furnishing of a past time, but with all the comforts expected today. Particular memories are of truly magic and real "sundowners" on the rooftop terrace watching the sun slowing sink down behind the distant Pyrenees. All the activities advertised were readily available, and an extra favourite giggle at the expense of fellow tourists, was to watch the antics of hire boat skippers in the Round Lock on the Canal du Midi (close to the railway station). The best time was around 2.15pm when the lock was reopened after lunchtime. It as also a pleasant canal-side walk. Restaurants abound, and often visited was 'Mare Nostrum', one of the new floating ones at the Quay. For a fish treat, try 'Casa PePe' tucked behind a bar on rue Jean Roger - book a day in advance for a 'special'. A pleasant trip is to Marseillan on the Entang where the 'O Soleil' serves excellent food. For a complete change of scene, Cap d'Agde's chromium and glitz offers the other extreme from Agde. The Agde tourist office is good for info on local events. Watch out for concerts on the island across the main bridge - jazz and other sounds are good, and in Sete. Do be in town for the Thursday morning street market - absolutely everything, and don't miss out the cheese, olives, meats, fish, fruit and veg bit hidden behind the main supermarket. Would I book this house again? Yes, wish I was there now. Recommend the 'House With the Stone Door' to relatives and friends? Yes, without hesitation.
