Could not ask for a more beautiful location. It was especially lovely in the evenings. The location cannot be beat as we were close to restaurants, but the apartment was very peaceful. The apartment had everything we needed and the most gorgeous view. We rented bikes and went up and down the coast a bit. We made many good memories!

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 apartment for a relaxing break

My family and I have just spent a very relaxing week at Ganivelle in Marseillan. The apartment was perfect for our needs and Marseillan proved to be a great spot for winding down after a hectic few months at work, school etc. During our stay we used our car just once to travel further afield. Ganivelle's perfect balcony was the ideal spot for lounging in the sun and the apartment's air conditioning provided the perfect escape once things got too hot. Marseillan has plenty of restaurant options and shops for those occasions that we decided to stay in for meals. Would heartily recommend - we will return should we be in this part of France in the future.

Perfect retreat

We have visited Marseillan many times and have a great deal of affection for this beautiful, friendly little port. There can be no better location than Ganivelle, which has the most perfect view of the water from its large terrace, and is only a minute's walk from all of the cafes and restaurants of the port. The flat itself is very comfortable and well equipped, tastefully decorated and calm - you are both at the heart of everything and yet slightly set apart, so it is peaceful too. The town itself has excellent shops and a great market on Tuesdays, so you don't need a car at all. The flat's owners couldn't be kinder or more helpful, ready to answer any queries we had. We can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to return.

Serenity of Ganivelle

This was a return holiday to Ganivelle, having last visited Marseillan Port in June 2019. I was so excited when France opened its doors to travellers from abroad and equally delighted to find a few days still available in Ganivelle’s calendar fulfilling a promise to myself that I would return someday soon to this peaceful, tranquil corner of the world. With a very warm welcome from Marie and Carole, we found everything was as we remembered and quickly settled into a lovely holiday, relaxing on our spacious private terrace watching the sun rise and set reassuringly in its stunning array of colours over the Étang de Thau. It will take very little coaxing to return to Marseillan Port some day soon knowing that the serenity of Ganivelle awaits me. Thank you Marie for another lovely holiday.

Great Location

We'd planned a long weekend in Marseillan in October and were so pleased to find this lovely apartment was available for our dates. It is in such a great location, just around the corner from the port with all the restaurants and a short walk into the town. Simply and tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Fantastic view across the lagoon form the spacious balcony. Lovely appointed bathroom, but no proper shower, only a shower over the bath, which means showering one handed, but we managed. Great kitchen, with a good range of crockery and equipment and induction hob, however there is only a combination microwave oven, which could be challenging if you prefer a proper oven... but with so many restaurants nearby you don't need to do much cooking. Unfortunately the weather was horrendous for the last couple of days we were there, but we could easily imagine how fabulous it must be in summer. We'd definitely consider staying here again, but not quite so late in the season.

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.

Beautiful Relaxing Holiday

I was sorely in need of a holiday when my mother and I arrived in Marseillan in mid-June and Ganivelle indeed was the most perfect place to unwind and settle in for 10 wonderful days and nights. The apartment is beautifully and stylishly decorated, filled with light and with those large full-width sliding glass doors that give you that wonderful indoor-outdoor living vibe. Like the rest of the apartment, the kitchen is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you might need to prepare your own meals. Marseillan has excellent shops to stock up on supplies and a great market on Tuesdays. Located at the top of the building, the private terrace overlooking the Etang is the ideal place for people and sailboat watching not to mention stunning views of sunrises and sunsets. The harbour too sees lots of activity with pleasure craft and sailing schools. If you can pull yourself away from the view, there is plenty to do in this pretty, friendly and genuine French port town. The apartment is ideally located, just steps from the port and a short walk into town. There are plenty of restaurant and cafe options should you wish for a meal out or a drink on the port esplanade. We ate out two nights both at Restaurant Le Château du Port, both excellent meals. Water sports, bike rentals and beaches are all close by. There is really no need for a car in Marseillan but should you have one, you can safely stow it away in secure on-site parking. Marie, the kind and friendly owner couldn't be more helpful, ready to answer any queries we had. Her on-site manager Carole, was close at hand should we need any immediate help or recommendations. We absolutely enjoyed our séjour in Marseillan. We have never felt so relaxed, wandering around the esplanade and wandering back to relax on our private terrace, eating and drinking and watching the boats sail back and forth in tranquility. At Ganivelle, you are both at the heart of everything and yet ever so slightly apart in the peaceful world created just for you. We will return as soon as we possibly can.
