CLIENT REVIEWS

"We're delighted we chose Villa Henri - fabulous location and you have a wonderful villa. For us it was perfect in every way and we had a great holiday!

We loved the area and it was also a good feeling coming back each day to a swim in the pool and a nice glass of the local wine on the terrace. Feel free to use this testimonial on your website!‎"

VILLA REVIEW SEPTEMBER

“A little piece of Paradise! Couldn't have asked for more.”  

   (5 out of 5 stars)

"We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Villa Henri in Pezenas. The villa is in a perfect quiet location on the edge of town, an easy stroll into the bustling centre of Pezenas.

The house was very comfortable really well equipped with everything we could have needed. The owners have catered for every eventuality, from al fresco dining on the terraces and soaking up the sun by the pool to cosy nights in with a good book or watching TV.

Sara and Leigh, the owners, were really great to deal with and were very quick to reply to my many emails in advance of arrival. Their welcome was so warm and friendly and they couldn't do enough to advise us on things to do in the area.

We went on a brilliant wine tour organised by Sara and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We visited 2 domaines and even though it was busy harvesting season, Sara was able to organise for us to speak with one of the wine makers who was lovely and who explained the process and allowed us to taste the wine at the early stages of productions.

Pezenas is a truly charming medieval town, with a lovely atmosphere and lots of cobbled streets with many great restaurants and gorgeous little craft shops selling everything from handmade soap and art to textiles and wooden toys.

It was also a great base for discovering the wider area and a short distance from several great beaches. I could go on and on but I am afraid that Villa Henri will be booked out the next time that I want to visit - and I really hope that there will be a next time!"

SUPERB SOUTHERN EUROPE LOCATION IN MEDITERRANEAN FRANCE

Pezenas is THE place to be in this part of the South of France.  It's a beautiful mediaeval town dating back over 1,000 years, with cobbled streets, artisans workshops, antiques, restaurants and cafes, the last Jewish Ghetto in France from 1300AD, the area of the town owned by the Knights Templar, and a wealth of beautiful shops. Your villa is within a short walk of all of this!

It is also perfectly situated to get a full South of France experience - Pezenas is surrounded by vineyards and only 5 minutes from the highways north-south and east-west. This means I can take you to some great places very easily. If you're feeling adventurous I can even offer day-trips to Spain, or lunch at the famous 'Cafe de Paris' in Monte Carlo, Monaco!

CLIENT REVIEWS

"It's difficult to describe just how incredible our experience has been. To travel all the way from Australia and spend time in paradise has been a real treat.

Your kindness and genuine friendship over only a short time has made the Pezenas experience a life-long memory. The recommendation to stay at Villa Henri was 100% correct and even more.

We will certainly be telling all our Australian and New Zealand friends of our fantastic experience in Pezenas!"

- Amy & Greg, Australia


"Mike and I have had such an authentic French experience staying at Villa Henri, and we so appreciate everything. This has been the perfect experience, from when we first booked until today - our last day.

We wish you a peaceful and joyous holiday season coming up, and we will definitely be in touch the next time we decide to make the trip from Washington D.C. to Pezenas"
