ABOUT US

  Highly 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!

  The most wonderful break  - We stayed here in July, just the two of us, no children. It was just what the doctor ordered. The most peaceful, romantic, tranquil break. The hosts were absolutely incredible,... read more we were treated like royalty. Every minor detail was considered and they were on hand to recommend local treasures such as a vineyard tour, incredible local restaurant and wading in the beautiful local river. The apartment was immaculate, the bed was so comfortable! I had a bath with the window wide open just looking out at the pure beauty that surrounds the property. It is quaint, full of character and love. I came home feeling more myself than I have in a long time. I couldn’t recommend this place any more. We have booked to go back next year with the 4 children for a real family togetherness experience ❤️ thank you Anna and Darren for your wonderful hospitality xxx

The breakfast was plentiful and certainly didn’t disappoint. Anna was aware that we were planning a 12 mile hike and fed us all accordingly.

The property is surrounded by magnificent scenery and accommodates both the weekend stroller or the more adventurous. The Cevennes valleys and Ardeche are a must see.

And of course the private pool, with it's peaceful surrounding, is the perfect place for reading a book or taking refreshments.

A very rustic, yet warm, homely place that is perfect for relaxing in the evening.

If I could give 10 stars I would!!

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!
