Lovely
My mother and I stayed here for three nights while in town for a wedding. It was a lovely sanctuary for us. We enjoyed being by the water and very close proximity to walk to places. Small village feel. The place was very clean and tidy. A little tricky if you are arriving at night but the local host was easily available for questions. We even ran into her at a local pub and she helped us order! :) Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great Location
The apartment is in a fantastic location with many restaurants no more than a 5 min walk away. Equally, the property has a lovely outdoor patio area which is both private and has wonderful views on the Etang. The apartment was very clean and has a well equipped kitchen so everything if you wanted to dine in as well as a coffee machine. There are two things to be aware of (and we were aware of both prior to booking but probably hadn't thought through the practicalities) 1) The double bed is on a raised section of one of the bedrooms and one side is against the bed, so if you are of a certain age and need to visit the bathroom during the night then you will need to climb over your loved one !! You could of course sleep in the other bedroom where there are 2 x single beds assuming there is only two of you staying in the apartment and 2) the shower is a hand held whilst you are in the bath so you will need to hold it yourself whilst standing or sitting in the bath ....just points to be aware of. We received great notifications from the owner and were met on site by the owners rep who was lovely. A very nice stay and we hope to be back in the future.

Relaxing stay in an apartment overlooking the Etang de Thai.
The property is perfectly located. Overlooking the sea and adjacent to the harbour. Plenty to watch from the terrace and it is easy to amble to the local restaurants.

Serenity of Ganivelle
This was a return holiday to Ganivelle, having last visited Marseillan Port in June 2019. I was so excited when France opened its doors to travellers from abroad and equally delighted to find a few days still available in Ganivelle’s calendar fulfilling a promise to myself that I would return someday soon to this peaceful, tranquil corner of the world. With a very warm welcome from Marie and Carole, we found everything was as we remembered and quickly settled into a lovely holiday, relaxing on our spacious private terrace watching the sun rise and set reassuringly in its stunning array of colours over the Étang de Thau. It will take very little coaxing to return to Marseillan Port some day soon knowing that the serenity of Ganivelle awaits me. Thank you Marie for another lovely holiday.

We’ll definitely be back.
A fantastic apartment with beautiful views over the lagoon and a perfect location to explore the Languedoc coast. Marseillan itself is lovely with a great selection of restaurants right on the doorstep but it’s also easy to access the nearby beaches and towns. Marie was a thoughtful and attentive hostess, providing us with all the information and guidance we needed. Thank you for having us and we look forward to visiting again.
