"Lucy -our contact - was most helpful and professional." - John (2012)VISITORS BOOK COMMENTS2011 SeptemberWe are enjoying it here very much. We think that ‘Les Martinets’ is the best equipped gite we have stayed in over the years.We have found lots of walks near and far and some good restaurants. All together a fine place to be.2011 AugustWe have had a wonderful time in the Languedoc and particularly enjoyed our stay at ‘Les Martinets’ which we found to be very comfortable and relaxing. Olonzac is a great base for exploring the area – our favourite places were Minerve, and Homps where we discovered a wonderful restaurant, 'En Bonne Compagnie'.2011 FebruaryA lovely restful week! The house is lovely – the weather was cool so we lit the log fire in the evening and just snuggled up! Loved the market – fabulous fresh meat and vegetables and a lovely friendly couple selling fresh coffee, flavoured “infusions” and cocoa’s. Recommend a drive to the coast and definitely over the mountains - breathtaking scenery and views.2010 OctoberA great couple of weeks in Olonzac. House was all we hoped for, very comfortable. Great shower and liked the roof terrace - very nice sitting up there with a glass of wine in the evening. Olonzac is a lively place for its size and has all the facilities you need for a holiday. The ‘Bel’ restaurant is very good – (Great Sunday lunch!) as is the Auberge de St. Martin at Beaufort.2010 SeptWonderful base for exploring the delights of the area. Great house with everything you could wish for.2010 AugustWe had a fantastic holiday. The house was perfect, very well equipped and great position to explore the local area! We especially loved the Tuesday morning market and filled the fridge with delicious goodies! – Bon Vacances!
