Characterful Vigneron centre Village close to vineyards Pezenas & beaches

Many thanks for your review - it was very hot the week you stayed but hope you had a great week I just wanted to give some context regarding the aircon ie this has been the hottest summer in france since 2003….. with no let up from consistent high temperatures in the 40’s. Also the house is a historic vigneron with very thick walls and window shutters designed to keep things cool in summer so in past years aircon hasn’t been mentioned by guests …. obviously I’m keen to take on board feedback … and also take action whenever that’s feasible during the stay …. As other guests have mentioned generally I’m always available on WhatsApp for any problems or just on hand for information / recommendations or anything that helps our guests enjoy their holiday according to their particular interests …. to enhance their stay where I can- let them know about local events or amenities they can participate in … As you say there is aircon in the main living area and two of the upstairs bedrooms. Two bedroom are downstairs where there are very thick walls as this used to be part of the original wine storage area and this would also have been problematic for storing wine had temperatures been high … or varied greatly … I do provide fans in the other rooms in case they are needed … and not had feedback to the contrary so far that these haven’t been sufficient … I guess this is perspective as possibly more modern homes might be more slickly temperature proofed but part of ambience we try to maintain and enhance is about the character of a historic and typically French property … I did return to the house to check on everything (20 aug) and at that point the outside temperature was 33 degrees and I didn’t need to switch on the aircon … but If it is that hot again consistently I’ll look to provide upgraded fans or units ..

Thanks Gary for your kind review - it was a genuine pleasure to have you as guests. We aim to provide most of the things you’d have in your home and look at everything again each season to maintain the level of comfort. A welcoming ambience we feel is important as well as enhancing the charm of a quirky French vignerons house so hopefully we achieve that and it’s a memorable and relaxing stay. Roujan is very much a current French wine villlage with a couple of bars and restaurants on the doorstep. I’m always keen to recommend activities or local events and fetes in the neighbouring villages/towns as there are quite a few taking place in the summer months. I can also make recommendations depending on ages and different interests or suggestions for a special occasion if you’d like to plan ahead … Roujan is close to the historic town of Pezenas for its market and array of restaurants and artisanal shops to dip into a different experience of French life . The beaches and beach clubs are also within striking distance … Coastal towns with seafood restaurants - fresh oysters. After days out hopefully it’s also great to return to relax with a glass of local wine and equally spend time recharging on more restful days …

Merci bien Sandrine pour votre gentil commentaire c'était un vrai plaisir d’avoir votre famille comme invités

Many thanks for your lovely review - we try and make sure we equip the house really well so our guests have all the things they would expect from home - we try to make it a "home from home" with character, ambience and comfort so it doesn't feel like a bland holiday rental - hopefully that comes across in the information and the care we take. I also personally aim to give as much assistance as i can to tailor stays and maximise valuable holiday time according to guest interests - so encourage a conversation or two. On the point you mentioned I am sorry if the neighbours disturbed you as I was not aware of this at the time and of course if I had known I would have tried to make sure it wasn't repeated. its a shame as i am unable to rectify it in retrospect:. being a proactive home owner I am keen to find solutions to any unexpected problems and also determined that any glitches remain slight and resolved....
