Heliopolis Apartments Cap d'Agde

Accommodation

We can offer a variety of accommodation style, size and location in Heliopolis. Because the apartments are all privately owned, styles and furnishings vary quite considerably and owners tend to remove or change things during the season.  Standard accommodation is modest but most has a balcony or patio. The French are great at squeezing sleeping space out of every last corner which means that, at maximum occupancy, space becomes rather limited. This might suit you if you don’t mind a squeeze or don’t intend to send any time in the apartment but generally we would recommend that you choose a larger apartment and use the empty sleeping area for additional space and comfort.  The accommodation is fully furnished and the kitchenettes are equipped with electric hob, fridge, pots, pans, crockery and cutlery; some have coffee makers and microwaves as well.

Superior Accommodation (+)

Much of the accommodation in Cap d’Agde remains as it was built and decorated in the ‘70’s. However there is a selection of the accommodation we use that has since been renovated.  Although not luxurious, these are generally better laid out, with newer furnishings and more pleasing décor than the standard accommodation. Some of the superior accommodation is equipped with air-conditioning and a supplement is payable for these apartments.

Bed Configuration and Cabines

Some accommodation is described as having a ‘cabine’. This is just a sleeping area (usually an alcove or recess) just big enough to take a bed. Studios have either a double bed, two singles or a sofa bed in the living area. Larger apartments and villas will generally have a bedroom or ‘cabine’ with bed(s) for two people plus a further bed(s) or sofa bed in the living area.

Accommodation Codes

All accommodation codes for Heliopolis start with the letter H. The number in the code advises the maximum occupancy of the accommodation and the final letter denotes the general direction the apartment faces (N for north, S for south etc). The code for superior accommodation carries a ‘+’ at the end. The sea is east! For example a H2N is a Heliopolis studio for two people, facing north whereas an H4+ is a superior Heliopolis apartment for four.

Accommodation Service

Apartments will generally be available from 17:00 on the day of arrival and need to be vacated by 10:00 on day of departure. The intervening time is required for cleaning ready for the next occupants. On arrival you will be asked to provide a deposit for the apartment which is normally a credit card authorisation only. This is not taken from the account provided there is no loss, damage or unreasonable cleaning requirement. You will be given a set of keys plus a bag of linen containing your bedlinen, shower towels (not as large as bath towels), bathmat and tea towel. If you are staying for longer than a week, you may collect clean replacements at the end of each week. Although many apartments are equipped with satellite TV, English channels are not guaranteed.
