Sun, sea & history - In the heart of the medieval town of Agde - a colourful and lively fishing port on the river Herault. Shops, markets, restaurants and cafe/bars in a maze of picturesque streets. 2 mins walk to the Canal du Midi - world heritage site - and the train station. 5 mins drive to beautiful sandy beaches of the Mediterranean and golf. Low fare flights by Ryanair to Montpellier (50km). Agde is also on direct Eurostar from London.

This pretty 2-bedroomed house was originally an artisan's home and workshop.

Today the layout of the accommodation is as follows:

The ground floor is the kitchen dining room.

The first floor has a comfortable double bedroom with adjacent bathroom.

The second floor is another light and airy bedroom with two double settee beds. It can also be used as a sitting room.

The entire top floor is a sunny secluded roof terrace with lovely views over the roofs of the old town to the hills beyond.

No pets.
