We stayed for just two nights and would highly recommend. From the start Jérôme & Pascal made us feel welcome in their beautiful home, they were perfect hosts and never tired of my poor French! The breakfast was superb. There are restaurants near by and it’s a great location to explore the area.

We had an exceptional stay, both in terms of the welcome and the attention to detail and the quality of the house, the garden and the décor. The breakfast and table d’hôtes were perfect. Despite a sometimes cool wind, we were able to enjoy the pleasantly heated swimming pool. The rooms are spacious and perfectly equipped. We will be back, that’s for sure!

We had an absolutely exceptional weekend at this upscale bed and breakfast. From the moment we arrived, the hosts’ welcome was simply fantastic: warm, attentive, and immediately putting us at ease and at ease. Everything in this house is thoughtfully designed to offer optimal comfort.
The decor is refined, elegant, and tastefully done. The spaces are bright, quiet, and perfect for a truly relaxing getaway. The exterior is simply incredible: a large swimming pool, a lovely sunny beach, and a high-end jacuzzi.

Five-star experience!
The house and room are beautiful and very comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi were excellent.
Jérôme and Pascal were very welcoming and provided lots of ideas and information about the area.
I ordered the set menu one evening – delicious! And the breakfasts were very generous.
I would gladly return.
Hjørring
Everything was perfect!
The house is fantastic, brand new, and incredibly charming. The hosts are absolutely exceptional: very helpful and welcoming.
The bedrooms are accessed from the hall, and the terrace is directly accessible. Everything is furnished with high-quality products. The garden and the 30-degree pool are very pleasant.
In addition to the idyllic setting, a generous breakfast is served every morning, and it’s possible to order dinner on certain days. Don’t miss this opportunity: the hosts are excellent cooks.
The house is ideally located between the old town and the new town: everything is within walking distance. It’s a very quiet place, reflecting the character of the town.
We had a wonderful stay and will gladly return.

If paradise exists, it is probably on the Thau archipelago. What can we say about Villa Balāo except that it is a unique place that will very quickly become the reference in the region. From extraordinary breakfasts to exceptional meals, everything is done to have a memorable stay. Thank you to Jérôme and Pascal for your warm and authentic welcome. Christian and Pascal

Everything is very well thought out, and the heated pool and jacuzzi are a real treat.
Not to mention the breakfast and dinner, prepared with great care to ensure everyone is happy. Everything is perfect. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
Jérôme and Pascal are also available, but they are very discreet and respectful.
Un très grand Merci.
