Great apartment for a relaxing holiday
We spent a week in Ganiville. It is a lovely apartment with fantastic views from the terrace, we spent many an hour watching the boats go by. It’s in easy walking distance from restaurants and the town. The market on Tuesday was definitely worth a visit. Although there is a space in the garage, it’s only really suitable for a small car. We parked in the parking close by without a problem.

Wonderful location and view with a few drawbacks
The appartement with its large terrace offers a wonderful view of the outer harbor of Mareillan and across the Etang to the hill of Sete by day and night. The sunny mornings at the end of February were perfect for breakfast outside. Unfortunately, the fans for the heating/air conditioning of the building on the roof hum very unpleasantly, which disturbs the peace and quiet and the feeling of the sea and can sometimes be heard in bed at night (at least from me). This is the only reason why there are no 5 points for the location/surroundings rating. The apartment itself is harmoniously furnished. In the kitchen we only missed pot lids and enough wine glasses (and that in France!). For the former we used plates, for the latter we gave the apartment a cheap 12 pack from the supermarket. One bedroom has a very comfortable double bed on a high brick platform with small stairs. Very romantic. If you lie in the back and don't want to wake your partner when getting in or out of bed, it requires a certain amount of acrobatic practice. The communication with the owner was very pleasant. Unfortunately, her manager never replied to my messages. Well, we had no problems to discuss, but it would be nice to receive at least a short confirmation that she received our messages. The apartment is rather expensive and you have to be prepared to spend some extra euros for the wonderful view. All together we had a wonderful time here.

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.

Schöne Unterkunft
Die Lage der Wohnung direkt am Hafen von Marseillan ist wunderbar. Dank Klimatisierung kann man es auch an sehr heißen Tagen gut aushalten. Die Garage ist recht beengt und eher mit kleinerem Auto bequem zu nutzen. Die Wohnung ist mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Schön wäre es, wenn die Dusche etwas komfortabler wäre.
