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 !

We dined in the cave most nights with a fig tree draped over the entrance and an old grape vine to remind us of its heritage the beautiful pool was where my youngest daughter learnt to swim and her happy face when she realised she could float with armbands sums up the whole vacation. The rustling of wild boar in the forest and the sound of the bleeping creatures really put us at one with nature and Southern France. We hired a mini van at Marseille airport and explored many local towns and cities incl Nimes. Market day in Saint Ambroix was a real feast for the eyes and we could've stayed local for 10 days. The walks along the river and the local vine yard proved popular with us all. I travelled with my wife and extended family with the six youngsters ages ranging from 3 years to 22
All of us had the best time and were very sad to leave but thrilled to have found this holiday experience. Amazing. Thanks for everything Darren, Anna and family you made us most welcome and credit to you.

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!
