ABOUT US
Le Mas de Roussa is owned, run and much loved by our family: Anna & Darren, our two little boys, Hugo the dog and Charlie the cat.
We fell in love with the magic of this place and begun our French adventure in July 2021. We’ve hoped to be closer to nature, inspired by the surrounding wonders of wildlife whilst enjoying the wonderful pace of French rural life and caring for this magnificent home.
We live here at the Mas and are on hand when you need us or require local tips and recommendations, but we make sure to give you full privacy to enjoy your holiday in peace.

Our gite had a beautiful view of the nearby hills, river and the lovely courtyard. At night, if you sleep with the window open, you can hear the river gently stream and sometimes you can hear the boar roam through the woods.
Eveything you need is at hand: refreshing pool (with view), exquisite dining area, Bbq facilities etc. If you need anything or want to go anywhere: just ask Anna or Darren!
Last but not least, if you visit Mas de Roussa, make sure to go down to the river, it is beautiful!
Would definitely come back to this place and recommend everyone to go there!Bjorn H

August 2, 2024Highly recommend! - We have just returned from a magical week at Le Mas De Roussa. It really was heavenly; the perfect place to unwind and relax something I didn’t think was... read more possible on a holiday with two young children!
The gites were beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, including air conditioning and our own BBQ. We loved the swimming pool which was immaculately kept and we enjoyed several dips in the Ceze river during our stay. We loved taking a daily stroll down to the river spotting wildlife including kingfishers, herons and a pair of otters! We enjoyed playing pétanque and lazing in hammocks in the lovely grounds too.
From the moment we arrived, hosts Darren and Anna and their family (and pets!) made us feel so welcome. They were always so friendly and generous with their time, and thanks to their local knowledge and recommendations, we enjoyed days out at several amazing river swimming spots, had a delicious lunch out at a lovely restaurant and enjoyed the spectacular caves around 10 minutes away. They even helped me and my husband with some running routes which we really appreciated.
We loved our stay and will definitely be back!Lizzie J

The entire property and the gites were immaculate and luxurious and we made much use of the glorious pool, BBQ’s and grounds to indulge in much river and woodland walking and nature spotting including many animal species such as Otters, Beaver, Red Squirrel, Birds, Butterflies, Bats, Dragonflies and many more !
Darren and Anna looked after us very well and gave us many top local recommendations for exploring the local area including Wines Tasting, Antiques Fairs, Nature Walking, Hiking Trails, River swimming, Kayaking, Craft and Food Markets, Gorge and Mountain view points which made this an extra special experience.
The property was great for our elderly parents and also young children and there is much to do and see for entertainment and activities as well as the serious chilling and relaxing environment created for the perfect holiday !
We absolutely loved our stay and we shall certainly return as soon as possible and we can highly recommend Le Mas de Roussa and Darren and Anna and their lovely family as the perfect hosts and guides !Richard B

The grounds are absolutely stunning,... read more with the noise of the cicadas it is the perfect place to relax and unwind!
The gite is beautifully furnished - french chic, with a well equipped kitchen including tea and ground coffee which was lovely to enjoy on the outside terrace in the morning!
The bedrooms again are well decorated, both good sizes with very comfortable beds.
The bathroom is shared and has been perfectly renovated, with a gorgeous walk-in rainforest shower and my personal favourite roll top bath! Furnished with plenty of towels.
The weather was beautiful on our stay and we spent a lot of time using the pool area. There are plenty of sunloungers and a shaded lounge area to relax when the sun is a little too hot. Also equipped with pool towels.
Do venture the 30 acres, just a short walk away is a beautiful river which you can also swim in, bring a picnic and take in the scenery!
There is also table tennis and a boules court which children would enjoy!
Anna and Darren were really good hosts, very accommodating and knowledgeable about the local area.
We will definitely be going back with our children next time!Amy N
