We stayed here for 5 days in May, with our 2 college age daughters. It was a short walk from the train station. Perfectly located. The apartment was beautifully restored, and updated with modern conveniences. The kitchen and dining space were wonderful, and with a market across the street we spent more time eating in than planned. The owner Alistair was very responsive and helpful with great local suggestions. Definitely would return. |

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully appointed apartment in the heart of Montpellier. It offers old world charm with all the modern conveniences We loved the balconies overlooking Montpellier's joie de vie below. The location is ideal, everything is within walking distance. Right at your doorstep is one if Montpellier's lovely squares with cafes and street musicians. Across the street is an amazing covered market with fresh flowers, fruit, vegetables and a multitude of gastronomic delights. Travelers with the most discerning taste will truly enjoy this lovely apartment. We hope to return one day. |

We had a very nice stay for a week in this beautifully decorated and furnished apartment in Montpellier. The apartment is well located for all the amenities such as restaurants and bars in the nearby streets. The decoration and furnishings have been done to a very high standard and the flat is very comfortable..especially the bed. The bathroom and kitchen are of high spec also. It was a great introduction to Montpellier, being able to experience the life style of the city and having the comfort of this apartment to return to each evening. I would highly recommend this apartment. Keith Hall, Edinburgh |
