Meze Maison

On a quiet street next to Meze's miniature chateau and just steps from the harbour and market square, this 19th century townhouse oozes style and charm. Meze is a delightful village built around a small fishing harbour, by an enormous, oyster-filled lagoon. Meze Maison, once the home of a prosperous négotiant, is charmingly in keeping with its surroundings. A stone stair leads from street level to a vast lounge and open-plan kitchen where Rob and Jason serve breakfast and, in the evening, a complimentary aperitif. You're welcome to stock a guest fridge with your own drinks. Breakfast includes eggs cooked to order. On the upper two floors are four immaculate and spacious rooms, decorated in restrained monochrome tones of grey and white. Floors are white tile, beds boast high-thread-count cottons, and some rooms have minuscule balconies. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers.
