Fam.Paxton
Villa Ariana is a fantastic house with an incredible view, nice furniture, cosy rooms and a fully equipped kitchen.
The heated pool was amazing.
The owners are lovely people who made our vacation unforgettable.
We hope that we can stay this year again.

Siebens Family
During the Summer 2021, we stayed 3 weeks in Ariana and Arne's "little paradise", Villa Ariana. And what a fantastic time it was! Hosts Ariana and Arne, who live in a little cottage half way the driveway, are such lovely people. They are very discrete, but on the other hand you can ask them any question during your stay (from things about the house, to wine shops, walks, shops, beaches etc.). The property is amazing. The house is very spacious, bedrooms have airco, and the kitchen is superbly equipped. There are terrasses with beautiful views of the surrounding area, with hills and vineyards. With our 2 girls (a teenager and a younger one) we had so much fun in the big pool (which has a cover and is heated, so always the right temperature); our teenager had lovely times reading in the various hidden places in the gardens; and the little one had so much fun with the trampoline, the little house and... Bill. Bill is Ariana and Arne's dog; he is so nice. Our youngest joined Bill and Arne during the many dog walks in the neighborhood. Leaving the house enables you to enjoy the region as well. Shopping and dining in lovely Pézenas, playing in the river in Gorges d'Héric, going to the beaches between Narbonne and Agde, hiking in the Haut-Languedoc Parc. And of course, wine shopping... So many things to do in- and outside this "little paradise".
Thank you so much, Ariana and Arne, for the lovely time and for sharing Villa Ariana with us. For sure, by far the best house we've been to until now in France!

David and Charlotte.
Our stay at Villa Ariana was a very special week. The house is spacious, tastefully decorated with everything we could possibly have needed for us and our 2 children. The gardens are beautiful and the hidden play ground area for the children was a lovely surprise. The pool was big enough for us all to enjoy and the most perfect temperature. The views from the balcony are incredible both day and night. Ariana and Arne are the most wonderful hosts; achieving the perfect balance of attentive hosting whilst leaving us to enjoy our holiday. They were wonderful to spend time with. The surrounding area has so much to do but we found it quite hard to leave the pool so we will most certainly come back to enjoy the villa, hospitality and also discover more of the area.

James Family
We have been renting houses in France for 10 years and this is the best house ever.
We wanted for nothing as the house is so well equipped. The owners are such a lovely couple and wonderful hosts; so helpful, friendly and discreet. We have had a most fabulous 2 weeks and are sorry to leave.

Woodland family
Villa Ariana feels like a home from home. If your home is full of every kitchen utensil you could ever dream of, plus with a state of the art coffee machine, then this is the villa for you!
The villa has wonderful pretty outdoor space complimented by the amazing views of the Faugeres vineyards. It also contains the perfect outdoor cooking area.
There are beautiful views from yet another outdoor seating area plus stunning gardens and a fantastic children's wooden playhouse, sandpit and trampoline.
What a superb villa with great outdoor space. The pool was crystal clear and of a good size with comfortable sun loungers.
Ariana and Arnie - the villa owners made it for us as they are extremely hospitable and have made us extremely welcome over the years and we thoroughly love coming to Villa Ariana. This is the third consequetive year we have come to the villa and we are still finding new things about the surrounding area.
On Arianas recommendation we had a fun day at the a local river - what an experience and what fun we have had.
If you want a quiet holiday, family holiday or an action packed holiday then this is the villa for you.
The hosts provide a perfect blend of discrete attention and are also on hand to advise on day trips and guide you seemingly through your stay and what the region has to offer.
We will definitely be returning to Villa Ariana next year. We love it!

I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Ariana. The house is fantastic (just as seen on the website) and so well equipped. The terraces were great for meals and for just sitting quietly and the pool was really clean and relatively warm.
