The Haszeldine Family, Scotland
Fantastic holiday - thank you ! We haven't been out of the UK en masse with the family and St Ferreol provides the spacious, quality, secure and welcoming venue we had looked for. Even Granny and Grandpa stopped too for a few days. Beautifully renovated house, surpassed the children's fear of dogs, swimming every day. Close enough to go to work in Montpellier and between the hills and the sea. Loved leisurely rambling around the buildings, paths and vineyards. And a wine cellar, tasting and great conversation. Even the bread lady smiled !

The Dromard and the Goble Families, England

Fourteen days of sunshine and only one cloudy day - beautiful. A lovely place for our third visit to St Ferreol - it just gets better. For visits, Bouzigues is a must and le Ripaille, a small courtyard restaurant in Pezenas ( in the lanes ) is charming and well worth a visit . The other friendly guests and their children made it a wonderful saty for all.

Thank you for a fantastic holiday. We loved the dogs, Borris, Barnie & Bonnie. Alex and I spent most of our time on the trampoline, on the swings and in the pool.
We went to the amazing caves "Grotte des Demoselles" also we loved the horse riding on the beach

Thank you St de Ferreol for providing sanctuary where John could relax, wind-down and taper off!! before attempting the 1st étape of the Tour de France. Our children have made new friends, emails already exchanged and spent many an evening on the trampoline as well as many hours by the beautiful pool.
We have very much enjoyed staying here and the delicious wines.

We have had a wonderful week at St Ferreol. We are a party of 33 persons and occupied all the villas. We have had lovely dinners in the courtyard, fine excursions and many hours by the pool.
The wine tasting in the cellar was one of the very best!
We all hope to return.

David, Alice, Daniel & Mia, London England
St Ferreol lived up to its internet description which in itself is quite unusual. For us it has proved to be the ideal place for a Family holiday - relaxed, safe for young children, well laid out with Jorje & Ania always available for advice. Also good local birdwatching if that's one of your holiday pursuits - 2 hours to the Camargue for the full experience !

The swimming pool is great, still lots of room to play cricket. Boris and all the other dogs are so cheeky. This holiday was Fab....Dominic 12yrs

It's a little piece of paradise because of the park, the beautiful river, the vineyards, the food, sightseeing suggestions, the wild and romantic atmosphere, facilities for the children, dogs and Lilly the housecat!

August 2004
The Robbs Family, New Malden, Surrey, England
Lovely, spacious, airy villa and grounds. Thanks very much for all your help and advice. We had a delicious meal cooked for us by Gislaine. The kids were so deluged by the dogs, cat, toads, frogs, dragonflies, snails etc. etc.
Valras has a great market on Fridays and a wonderful beach. Pezenas is a lovely town and we really enjoyed St. Guilhem le Desert and the caves nearby.

July 2004
The O'Brien Family, Belfast, N. Ireland
What a marvellous two weeks we have had here – the only problem is that they have gone so quickly. The accommodation truly lives up to its brochure description d more. Jorje & Ania are perfect hosts. Michael's help, advice & thoughtfulness throughout our stay was invaluable and much appreciated and what a treat it has been to come back after a day out and enjoy Gislaines excellent home cooked food.
We have no hesitation in recommending Domaine de St. Ferréol to family & friends as a superb holiday destination.

July 2004
The Takenberg Family, Frankfurt, Germany
What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a week's undisturbed tranquillity. A favourite area of ours for several years, the Languedoc has yet another attraction to offer in the Domaine St. Ferréol.
We look forward to our next visit! Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

June 2004
John & Theresa Collins, Co. Cork, Ireland
Thanks to all at St. Ferréol for a wonderful holiday. It exceeded everything I had imagined France to be and with the best accommodation I think we could ever find. Make sure you try Gislaines cooking; you will find nothing better anywhere!
Thanks again for everything – we will be back!

St. Ferréol is a delightful oasis in a beautiful part of France – and one that managed to exceed our expectations in so many ways. The beautiful grounds, tranquillity & stunning bird life. We never tired of seeing Rollers, Golden Orioles and birds of prey flying past the pool. Thanks to Jorje for your great hospitality, friendliness and assistance and ditto to Michael, whose tour of the old wine cellar was a high point. Gislaines cooking was sumptuous too! Warm thanks and hope to see you next year since this is a place we'd love to return to.

May 2004
Beverly & David Baird, Ontario, Canada
Holidays may come and go but our two weeks at the Domaine de St. Ferréol will never be forgotten! Superb accommodation, the kindest and most helpful hosts, Jorje & Anna, Michael & Gislaine and a phalanx of dogs to keep us amused and help us not to miss own best friends at home! Many thanks for making our visit so memorable and special thanks to Gislaine for all her great meals.

Marc, Lucy, William, Harry & George Kernick, Bucklands, Surrey, UK
An excellent holiday with wonderful hosts. We all went canoeing in the gorge d'Herault and jumping and diving off the cliffs. We hadn't expected this to be a beach holiday but were impressed with the local beaches especially the long stretch between Sete and Cap D ‘Agde.

August 2003
Liza Bradley, Ivor, Bucks, UK
We arrived together with six other families and could not think of a better place to holiday. Perfect hosts, nothing is too much to ask of them. Fantastic catering for a group of 25! Which most restaurants would shrink at!! Hope to be back.

July 2003
Jill, Iain, Lucy & Kate MacLauchlan, Ashby de la Zouch, UK
I love Ferreol, I've had a great time, Ferreol took me on some wonderful walks and in the morning she was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. Kate MacLauchlan (13). The trip to St Ferreol wine cellar and Roman Well was really cool! Lucy MacLauchlan (12). A lovely, peaceful holiday- certainly going home feeling refreshed. It is such a nice place to stay; you have to force yourself to go out.

July 2003
Linda & Lionel Kay, Winchester, UK
Once again, a superb holiday. The Catalan is still as comfortable, a veritable home from home. There is so much to see and do; we shall be back for more!

Fantastic accommodation, lovely surroundings, excellent food. The kids loved Ferreol and the pool. The week flew by & we are looking forward to coming back.

May 2003
David & Clair Hopkins, Exeter, Devon, UK
A very relaxing week in lovely surroundings. It has been a great week to discover a France that is very natural and unaffected by tourism. The villa has been an escape, allowing us to completely relax, but when we did want to go out there was lots to see.

May 2003
Simon, Tanya, Amelie & Ben Hicks, Oxon, UK,
Our week here has been most enjoyable but most definitely not long enough. There was so much to discover.

Easter 2003
Jeff, Laura, Emily & Alex Bessette, Southboro, MA, USA
What a wonderful time we had here! I found this area to be a treat for the senses. The colours seem so much brighter here. The red poppies and the blue borage in the vineyard simply glow in the sun and are mirrored in the colours at the Domaine. The broom and the wisteria perfume our walks and the peaceful days are surrounded by bird song. The food here is wonderful, from Gislaine ‘s Paella to the chocolate croissants and baguettes brought by the bread lady daily. We loved our day trips to Carcassonne, Canal Midi, Sete & Sailor's Cemetery, Marseillan Plage, Grott des Demoiselle but our favourite times have been here wandering the vineyards with the family & Ferreol (a vineyard dog), exploring the grounds, the wine cellar, Easter egg hunt in the grotto and watching boules in the courtyard.
Michael & Gislaine have been wonderful hosts – always friendly & helpful. We will bring back many beautiful memories from Domaine St. Ferréol and hope to come back again.

Patrick & Barbara Verne & family, Killiney, Co. Dublin, Ireland
What a wonderful discovery, a real treasure. Domaine de Saint Ferréol has given us a most wonderful holiday – ever! Everything was so perfect, and the setting exquisite.

P. S. See you next year!!!
