we had a fantastic stay in the family house of Olivier and Aude. Actually the nicest one we ever rented for holidays (my daughter said on our last evening). The garden / terrace / pool is so well integrated into the whole house - kitchen and living room opening to the well equiped terrace (BBQ, lots of chillout areas, large dining table, big tree and umbrellas for shade-lovers etc.) - The pool was a big highlight of the stay for us adults but of course the kids. We only went to the beach twice in one week since we enjoyed so much just staying around the house, playing ping pong, playing games on the table, jumping into the pool now and then, having BBQ for lunch/dinner etc.. Inside the house is spacious - 4 sleeping rooms, perfect for family up to 3 kids, 2 bathrooms/toilets... Well equiped with two extra refridgerators as backup in garage and storage room, even 5 bicycles (3 of them kids size though - bring your own locks in case you want to use them), TV, DVD player etc. All the basics you need for your stay since it is a "living house" and not a pure vacation home. Olivier and Aude an their family really live in this house and you can feel that. It is nicely decorated and with nice furniture also. The location is great as well since the neighbourhood is extremly quiet, public transportation really close (tram to Montpellier, Bus to beaches, also a 24/7 bike rental that works with creditcard in walkiing distance, airport just around the corner - but you don´t hear any planes suprisingly). So in fact this was our first vacation we didn´t even have to rent a car at first, since Olivier even picked us up from the airport (so nice, but he said it is not normal that he does this, so don´t count on that!). We rented a car for the last two days to explore the beautiful countryside north of Montpellier (canoe trip / Grotte des Demooselles). Thumbs up to a perfect family vacation home! Best we ever experienced!!! And we travel a lot...
