Home away from Home

The apartment provided every conceivable item to make ours a most enjoyable stay. Our host was just wonderful providing excellent pre arrival information. Her assistant also helped with our checkin and departure. All in all a superb property, so clean, well located and with the very best facilities.

Fabulous apartment in a beautiful village.

Porte 22 is a fantastic apartment and probably the most generously equiped that we have stayed in. It is as it’s described. Spotlessly clean, very good bed, gourmet kitchen, and a terrific sun deck-with another kitchen off to the side. Louise couldn’t be more helpful; prompt responses to all our communications. The apartment is a stones throw from the main street, yet very quiet at night. In fact it’s quiet pretty much all the time. Pezenas is a historically rich village with great walks in the old town and supplied with enough cafes and shops to satisfy any tourist. We had a memorable time.

Great stay in a phantastic townhouse

I was impressed by the house and the way it was remodeled. I was feeling very cozy from the very finest moment, a my friend came in only a little later. The house is located in the very center of Pezenas, in the midst of everything. Thank you!

Wunderbare Unterkunft

Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage in Pézenas. Der Ort hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Aber etwas ganz besonderes war die Wohnung. Sie hat unsere Erwartungen deutlich übertroffen, obwohl sie im Internet sehr attraktiv beschrieben ist. Sehr schön war auch der warme Empfang und die umfangreiche Kommunikation vor unserer Ankunft. Wir sind begeistert und kommen bestimmt wieder.

Wonderful time immersed in the French culture

Very clean and owner had every thing you need. Comfortable, many stairs to reach flat, be sure you’re mobile. Kitchen great for cooking! We did very little as we enjoyed the many restaurants of French cuisine. Boulangerie close by to purchase croissants every morning. Enjoyed beaches close to Pezanas and many historic sites in the neighborhood.

Eine Perle im Herzen von Pézenas

Eine wundervoll eingerichtete Wohnung erwartete uns mittig im wundervollen Pézenas. Einchecken konnten wir direkt bei Ankunft, wo uns Patty, die freundliche Perle von Porte 22, herzlich empfing und uns alles zeigte. Alles was das Herz begehrt gibt es in dieser sensationell eingerichteten Wohnung, es fehlte an nichts… Die Eigentümer von Porte 22 durften wir glücklicherweise ebenfalls kennenlernen, die uns immer das Gefühl gaben, sie schon seit ewigen Zeiten zu kennen und immer und überall herzlich willkommen zu sein… Porte 22….die Heimat in der Ferne Wir kommen mit Sicherheit wieder ❤️

Living history!

Calling Porte 22 a 'stay' is almost an insult - it is an 'experience'! The house felt like a living being. Exquisitely restored, top of the range facilities, but never losing sight of it's history. A young heart in an old soul. Mysteries of the ages abound. Porte 22 is but a stone's throw from the higgledy-piggledy of the old centre with it's artisans, restaurants and architecture. Overlooking a wide pedestrian street. And access into and out of Pezenas is a breeze with the car park only 200 metres away. Our communication with the owner Louise and her local, fiercely protective, guardian, Patty, was exceptional - both professional and warm. One week was hardly enough...

Delightful Experience

Louise is a splendid host and her sidekick, Patty, is a treasure. We three old friends from Canada had everything we needed at Porte 22 for a delightful week in peaceful Pézenas. We enjoyed the modern kitchen with its topnotch equipment as well as the terrific rooftop terrace. The fusion of the old and the new is beautiful. We felt very cared for as Louise and Patty were attentive and helpful during our stay. Formidable!

A classy Pied-a-Terre

We are returning for our third? Fourth? visit to Porte 22. We love the proximity to the center of town and the many wonderful features of the property - especially the roof deck! There is really nothing better than having dinner up there, with the swifts circling overhead. Pezenas is lovely and lively, and road biking in the neighborhood of Pezenas is outstanding. We discovered a new swimming hole nearby which made cooling off even easier than before. And the wineries ! Not to be missed: Mas Gabriel in Caux. Back to Porte 22 - Louise thinks of everything - for example - there is a set of extra plates and glasses on the roof deck so that you don't have to run up and down the stairs carrying them. There's a picnic basket! and several umbrellas for beach trips! Everything has a place, and the kitchen equipment is top notch. I have so much more to say about this wonderful Vrbo, but so little time (back at work already!) but we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our two weeks in the home and will be back as soon as we can for another visit.

Fabulous property in heart of old town

Porte 22 is a exceptional property. Built in the 1600s, it has been sympathetically renovated throughout and has been furnished with considerable style far above what you would expect from a holiday rental. Simply everything had been thought of there. If you need something, simply search in the cupboards! The roof terrace was a bonus and added another dimension to our stay. The amazing display of swifts swooping over the rooftops and our heads in the evenings was very special. The stone staircases may not be for someone with reduced mobilty especially if you plan on using the roof terrace. The garage is a bonus and just a few minutes walk away. The bike store was very useful too. All communication was easy, friendly and helpful. Lastly, the location was perfect being in an attractive and quiet street yet minutes from shops, restaurants etc. Pezanas is a lovely town we shall visit again, for sure. Thank you to Louise and Patty for a wonderful stay.

Perfect stay in Pezenas

The property is in an excellent position for both discovering the delights of Pezenas but also exploring the countryside and the beautiful beaches close by. The property has great charm with stone spiral staircases , beams and roof terrace which we made good use of. The quality of the apartment and all its appliances are of the highest standard and the roof terrace kitchen is equally equipped to the same standard. On arrival we met with Patty who is extremely helpful and talked us through all we needed to know about the apartment, and surrounds. There is also a comprehensive apartment guide and also some recommended places to visit and dine. We had a very pleasant meal at the L' Atelier and the Maitre d' put on a great show in describing the menu , thoroughly recommended. Not sure this can be arranged for everyone but we did ask Louise to arrange good weather for our trip and we were not disappointed , thank you. Finally, our time at Porte 22 was excellent and my wife and I would highly recommend a stay, the sad bit was leaving. Patty , thank you for the welcome and Louise thank you for letting us experience Porte 22 .

Wonderful stay in Pezenas

We had a great time during our 6 days in Pezenas and Porte 22. We arrived on a (November) Sunday when not much was open and it was pretty quiet but by the weekend more things were available. The neighborhood is great for walking around the town. Our communication with Louise was excellent from the start of the booking process and Patty was very helpful meeting us at the property and making sure we were comfortable. The apartment is very charming (just like the pictures), the bed was very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The stairs might be a challenge for someone physically challenged or older, especially getting up to the roof. Having a place to park nearby was a plus and we enjoyed exploring some close by towns. There is a lot to see and do nearby. I would definitely recommend a stay at Porte 22 and Pezenas.

Ein geschmackvolles Juwel in der lebhaften Altstadt von Pézenas

Wir haben 3 Wochen in dieser Wohnung verbracht. Den Ort kennen wir gut und haben bewusst eine Unterkunft im Zentrum gesucht. Die Wohnung ist exakt so, wie im Internet dargestellt. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das Bad modern und chic, die Betten gut und die Dachterrasse perfekt ausgestattet mit Sonnenschutz, gemütlichen Polsterliegen und einer kleinen Küche, die einem manches Treppensteigen ( 30 Stufen ab Wohnung ) ersparte. Die Wohnung ist extrem gut und hochwertig ausgestattet mit allem, was man nur brauchen könnte, inklusive schöner Strandlaken und Strandbedarf. Es fehlte nichts. Das Haus hat nur eine kleine Front zur Straße und die Wohnung liegt zum Hauptteil im Gebäudeinneren mit Fenstern zum Lichthof. Dadurch ist es relativ dunkel und mn kommt auch tagsüber nicht ohne elektrisches Licht aus. Der große Vorteil ist aber, dass es trotz hoher Temperaturen angenehm kühl dort ist und absolut ruhig. Ein Schlafzimmer mit 2 Einzelbetten ist als Durchgangszimmer allenfalls für Kinder geeignet, 2 Paare wären dort nicht gut untergebracht. Die Besitzerin, Louise, die zeitweilig selbst in Ihrer Wohnung im gleichen Haus war, und ihre Verwalterin Patty waren sehr freundlich und für uns zu jedem Zeitpunkt extrem gut zu erreichen. Jede Nachfrage wurde sofort erledigt. Wir haben uns ausgesprochen wohlgefühlt und werden sicher wiederkommen.

About the host

Hosted by Louise

Passionate about France, travel, hosting, stylish yet comfortable living spaces, extra buttery french croissants, and everything about Pézenas.

What makes this property unique

The secluded sun drenched roof terrace was the selling feature for this purchase and the most attractive amenity for our holiday guests. A rarity in Pézenas, it's a warm weather haven: private, quiet, view over neighbouring rooftops, sun and shade spots, stone walled, and no roof!
