Mediterranean Sea, Sun and History - Agde Town, Romantic House minutes to Beach

Romantic self catering house with charming courtyard and secluded roof terrace with dramatic views. In the heart of this medieval town of Agde - A colourful and busy fishing port on the river Herault. Shops, market, restaurants and cafe/bars are around the corner. 4 km from beautiful sandy beaches and golf. 5min walk from the train station. 2min walk to the Canal du Midi. Airport -10km.

Maison d'Estella is a unique house in a unique setting, grouped around a pretty courtyard filled with flowers, built for a rich merchant of Agde in 1586. Beautifully restored and furnished with French antiques. 4 comfortable bedrooms on the first and second floor -all looking out over the private courtyards, 2.5 bathrooms, sitting room, well equipped large kitchen/dining room which opens into a second interior courtyard and the house also has a rooftop terrace with dramatic views over the hills beyond the Canal du Midi.

Agde - 'Black Pearl of the Mediterranean'- lies on the Cote d'or at the junction of the Canal du Midi with the sea. There are miles of sandy beaches, limitless sunshine and fishing boats still moor at the riverside quays, second oldest town of France, a maze of picturesque streets full of shops, market, restaurants and cafe bars. Yet we are only 5 mins from the vibrant resort town of Cap d'Agde which offers the usual pleasures of the Med - nightclubs, cinemas....Aqualand - the popular water theme park and the famous private naturist quarter!(though you don't come across it unless you look for it)
AGDE flies two EU blue flags for the quality of its beaches and environment.



Carcassonne : and the castles of the Cathars are an easy drive away to the west.
The dramatic gorges and caves of the stunning Haut-Languedoc national park are close inland. To the east the Camargue, the great nature reserve that's the home of white horses and black bulls. Nearby is the nature reserve of Bagnas and the beautiful lake ‘Etang de Thau’ with its oysters and mussels beds and rose-pink flamingos, also a wonderful place for boating and kite/wind-surfing.


The International Airport at Montpellier: is 30 min drive form Agde. (Other nearby airports - Carcassonne, Perpignan, Nimes and Beziers-Agde airport (10km)
Driving from Clermont Ferrand arrive to Agde via the spectacular viaduct over the Tarn gorge - Norman Foster's splendid bridge at Millau - It carries the A75 autoroute high into the clouds... and Agde is then only an hour away to the south.

100% charming, but...

Absolutely gorgeous 400 year old town house with private roof terrace and private court yard. Please note though that the house is in 3 floors + the terrace is on 4th floor - with access by small staircase. We were there in October and there is not much light on the ground floor, we wanted to have the electric lights on even daytime - probably wonderful in the hot summer as the sun doesn’t get down there to heat it up. Only few restaurants and shops are actually open in Agde and they are very reasonably priced.

Und eine sehr angenehme Vermieterung. Agde hat einerseits einen authentischen alten Kern und einen sehr schönen Markt, ist aber auch nicht der attraktivste Ort in der Region.

Belle maison ancienne dans la vieille ville d'Agde

La maison est grande et pleine de charme mais elle manque de confort et la description ne correspond pas entièrement à la réalité: elle est très sombre au rez-de-chaussée, les lits sont vieux et peu confortables, l'équipement de la cuisine est sommaire, les portes et fenêtres ferment mal ou s'ouvrent avec difficulté. Certaines fenêtres n'ont pas de volets pour s'isoler de la chaleur, pour d'autres les volets ne ferment pas. Nous sommes arrivés au début de la saison, la maison n'ayant pas été aérée, il y avait une forte odeur d'humidité dans toutes les pièces et dans la cour fermée en particulier. De plus, Nira et Allan n'indiquent pas qu'il n'y a pas de wifi, ni que le linge de maison n'est pas fourni. Nous les remercions de nous avoir fourni draps et serviettes pour sept personnes.

The house was as described in the advertisement. Very charming and spacious, very private and quiet.

Wonderful and unforgettable experience. We enjoyed the Tamarisienne beach 10 minutes away by car and the train station reachable on foot in 10 minutes, the bakery opened at 6 AM for fresh croissants and French baguettes just 3 minutes walk from the house.

A really beautiful place. Amazing !

Das Haus ist wirklich ein Traum. Es erscheint zunächst surreal in solch einem alten Haus (400 Jahre) zu wohnen, aber es macht wirklich sehr viel Spaß. Die Dachterasse auf der man ein Gläschen Wein mit weitem Blick über Agde trinken kann, ist ein Traum. Ebenso wie der Innenhof, wo man sich aufgrund der Hitze sehr gut aufhalten kann. Markt ist mehrfach in der Woche 40 m entfernt. Die Gassen sind wunderschön, in der sich das Haus befindet. Und das Haus selbst so schön und durch Reiseführer bekannt, das Touristen / innen gern davor stehen und Fotos machen. Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsen, 3 Kindern und einen Hund im Haus untergebracht. Allan & Nira: thanks again for letting us stay in your beautiful house. And your kindliness was overwhelming! yours Claudia & Nick and the rest of us.

A great adventure !

We had an incredible stay in Agde. The house was as described in the VRBO advertisement. Our hosts did an excellent job in responding to our requests. They helped me arrange to rent a bicycle for 5 weeks, which was necessary transport to get to my culinary classes. I could walk to everything that I needed, from the grocery stores to the barber shop. 3 bakeries are within a block of the house. The Thursday market is literally down the lane from the house. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for accommodations in Agde. The train service was very convenient for travel to Spain and southern France.

Historic house in quiet location

We had a great stay in the historic centre of town. Easy access to buses and trains and we made several trips. Very convenient having a shop nearby as we mostly self catered. Not so convenient that the bathroom is not on the same floor as the bedrooms, but perhaps not possible in the modernisation.

Mediterranean heaven

A must for lovers of old world charm. Cool down in the fabulous private courtyard or sunbathe on the roof terrace with its superb vista of the Old Town, and in the evening dine on one of the pontoon restaurants on the river. Visit the historic cities of Narbonne, Montpellier, Nimes or Arles on the fast, punctual and cheap trains, only 10 mins from the house, or drive to the coast at Cap d'Agde. The booking process was simple and Nira and Allan were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. A holiday here is highly recommended. Barrie Northampton

Fantastic accomodation and wonderful holiday

The accomodation was first rate and just as described in the advertisement. It was amazing being in the centre of so much history. Service provided by Nira was excellent and all who stayed there appreciated her help. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Excellent restaurants within walking distance, with huge variety. Many thanks.

Traumhaft schönes Haus

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub. Das Haus ist traumhaft gelegen in der Altstadt von Agde. Parkmöglichkeiten sind zwar nicht direkt am Haus, aber sehr nahe dran. Im Innenhof kann man morgens super frühstücken und das Haus ist so groß, dass die Kinder sich gut darin verstecken konnten. Außerden kann man von dort aus viele Ausflüge unternehmen und der Strand ist auch nicht weit entfernt und gut anfahrbar. Wir würden immer wieder dort unseren Urlaub verbringen!

Maison d'Estella in Agde, France

For 10 years, my youngest daughter and grandson had been trying to get my husband and I to come to France with them and stay in the medieval town of Agde, specifically at Maison d'Estella, the house with the arched door to the courtyard. From online photos and descriptions, I had a reasonably good idea of what to expect. However, nothing prepared me for the feeling of stepping into the past, when we actually crossed the threshhold of that old wooden doorway. From the private stone courtyard, which literally shuts out the world, up four flights to the secluded roof terrace, the house was utterly charming and unique for us modern city dwellers. Four bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, full kitchen, sitting lounge, onsite laundry plus an exterior and interior courtyard were more than enough space for the four of us to hang out. The promenade is a half block away which hosts shops, restaurants, cafe/bars and a library, plus a couple of weekly open-air markets. The Canal-du Midi river walk is a short 2-3 minutes away and even the train station is only about a 5 min walk from the house. It`s a short drive (4 km) to the beautiful sandy beach if you rent a car or by bus if you don`t. The airport at Beziers is about 10 km away. The house itself was very clean, furniture is a bit dated but serviceable and the owners are very gracious and friendly. We were there in the latter half of June and the weather was grand, although very hot. When we weren`t walking or touring, the courtyard was where the mornings and evenings were spent and in the afternoons, we languished behind 18 inch walls that kept the main floor cool. Our only negative comment is the lack of internet onsite. It was a bit inconvenient, as our plans and link to home were all done online, however the library supplied wifi and we made almost a daily run to the McDonald`s for our coffee and utilized their free wifi to keep in touch and updated. Being both over 65 and overweight, the four flights of stairs were a bit daunting, especially since the laundry was on the ground floor and the clothesline was outside of the 3rd floor, but after a few days, I was toning up and actually lost weight for the first time on holiday. I would heartily recommend Maison D`Estella to all with an adventurous and romantic spirit. Karen Bartley.

Beautiful characterful house, vibrant location

Our family of 6 (children aged 12, 10, 8 and just-turned-3) spent 2 very happy weeks here. The house exudes history and charm; walking through the heavy old wooden door into the courtyard for the first time truly felt like stepping back in time. The house was clean, spacious, well maintained and easily accommodated our family, and managed to combine being decorated in keeping with the history of the house without feeling intimidating. The staircases are steep (especially the one which leads up to the roof terrace), which slightly concerned me when I first saw them, but our 3 year old navigated them without problem (seeing them as a positive adventure). I liked the touch of having lots of books on the shelves; novels (including one set in the house!), and also books on the history of Agde (and often with pictures of the house, showing its place in the local history). Parking is challenging, but we always managed to find a spot. The closest places are time limited (and chargeable - but not very expensive), but if you park up in the evening and are off not too late in the morning it's not a problem. We drove down to the local beach most days (Cap d'Agde), which is very fine. We had taken a sea kayak down, and there was plenty of water sports to be done, and good snorkelling. It felt a relaxed place - not as self-consciously fashionable as some places on the Med can be. Other highlights were walking along the Canal du Midi (surprisingly pleasant and cool) and just meandering around the old town. Being in the centre of the town, there are lots of restaurants, bars, supermarkets and many bakers in walking distance, so even our fussy, vegetarian children were well catered for (pizzas / crepes!). For internet junkies the local library (2 minute walk away) has fast, free wireless internet. In the square just around the corner there's a market twice a week which was enjoyable to wander around. The owners Alan and Nira are charming and helpful (Alan cycling over to give us a spare key when one of ours was lost on a beach).

Stunning property

We stayed at Maison d'Estella in summer 2011 and had a fantastic time. It is a truly unique property, full of wonder and charm. A beautiful and well-equipped house and we definitely intend to come back at some point in the near future. We received excellent service from the owners, and Agde is a very atmospheric city. Overall I cannot fault a thing.

Stunning House

This is an exceptional property. The moment you step through the door into the inner courtyard you are transported back in time through the layers of a house originally built for the Count of Agde.The courtyard which catches the sun for most of the day is a perfect place to sit and read, also to have lunch or dine al fresco. There are many original features and the house is sympathetically furnished and will meet all your needs. It is ideally located for the shops so should you forget that all important bottle of wine you can be in the corner shop in two minutes, likewise the Cafe Plaza where you can sit and watch the world go by or join the bustle of market day. The property was immaculately clean and the owners are nearby and very responsive to any requests. They will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. Agde is a wonderful medieval town on the banks of the beautiful green Herault river and there are many interesting things to see in the town itself and walks along the river out into the countryside or along the canal du midi. The sea is 15 mins by bike away - great cycle path - there are some lovely nearby towns especially Pezenas. Thoroughly recommended. I keep coming back!

Original, consistently superb

This was the fourth time my family and I had stayed at The Maison d'Estella. We came on it by chance and blessed our luck. The conversion if the house from a town centre historic building to a comfortable holiday home had been done with care, so that the house retained its inspirational historical atmosphere but also made an elegant and flexible holiday home for three generations of my family at once. We had many marvelous family meals from the kitchen which we ate in the courtyard - often to music from the guitar which Nira and Alan secured for us. The young ones sunbathed on the terrace with its views across the town and the river . Nothing was too much trouble for Allan and Nira:they were unobtrusive but very helpful owners, anxious that our stay met all our requirements. The wonderful Maison d'Estella inspired - and is featured in - my novel AN ENGLISHWOMAN IN FRANCE, now in paperback. I have just finished another novel THE ART OF RETREATING also inspire by my stays in Agde. With the fascinating town of Agde on the doorstep and access to this unique region this house is an ideal holiday base for the discriminating lover of all things French. I cannot recomment the Maison d'Estella too highly. You are in for a treat. It is always an exciting stay at the Maison d'Estella. Wendy Robertson
