Our 6-person holiday home from 1828 has a walled courtyard of 80m2. In the garden there is a covered terrace with a large dining table and a plunge pool (3.95x3.20x1.00) for relaxing in the sun. The two ancient caves on which our house was built are also located here.
On the ground floor there is a 2 pers. garden room with private sanitary facilities (toilet and sink), wardrobe and a four-poster bed (1.40 x 2.00) with mosquito net. View from the room of the relaxation pool. You reach the living floor via the external stairs.
At the top of the stairs is a terrace to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. You enter the house through the kitchen. This is equipped with a dishwasher, gas stove, 2 refrigerators (1 with a freezer compartment) and a combination microwave/oven, crockery, cutlery, Nespresso machine, kettle, toaster, hand blender, crockery, pans, towels. (hand soap, washing up liquid, washing up brush available) A delicious bottle of rosé Gris de Gris is ready for you in the fridge as a welcome. We have an extra water filter so that the tap water is drinkable.
Through the kitchen you walk into the attractive dining room with a 6-person dining table.
From the dining room you enter the bedroom with 2 pers. four-poster bed (1.60 x 2.00) with mosquito net. Here is also a wardrobe and a work cupboard containing cleaning supplies and a washing machine. (detergent, drying rack, ironing board, iron, vacuum cleaner and cleaning products are provided).
On the other side of the kitchen you walk into the cozy living room with 2 x 2.5 seater sofas, a fireplace and TV. The house has satellite TV with Dutch channels. There is also a Sonos Bluetooth speaker for connection to your own Spotify. WiFi is also available as well as extra WiFi boosters.
From the living room you enter the hall with access to the spacious bathroom with toilet, spacious rain shower and sink. (hairdryer, large and small towels available, bring your own beach towels).
Via the stairs in the hall you reach the beautiful loft with four-poster bed (1.60 x 200, with 2 x single mattresses and 2 x single duvets.) Here is also a clothes rack.
There is a camping bed (with mosquito net, molton and bottom sheet), baby bath with stand and high chair. Bring your own baby sleeping bag. Please note, there is only a stair gate at the top of the outside stairs. The 3 bedrooms are each on a different floor. The plunge pool is 70 cm high and has no fence. We therefore find the house less suitable for small children, use with children is entirely at your own risk.
The house is non-smoking. The house has 50-60 cm thick walls and shutters to keep the house cool in summer, there are also 3 fans. There is a fireplace for the colder days and heating in winter.
The village is car-free (parking 170 m from the house in the parking lot), the streets are very tight (narrowest part 1.80 wide) but you can get to the house for loading and unloading. We also have a foldable cart for your belongings, if you find that more convenient.
We bought the house at the end of January 2020 and spent months renovating it. In the meantime, we have been wonderfully welcomed by the residents of the village. Families with young children also live here, which is a nice mix with the older residents and means that there is always pleasant life in the village. People are open to a chat, but if you don't feel the need for one, that's fine too. You can turn to anyone for help. In the evening, young families regularly gather at the viewpoint at the end of the street (75 m) where they enjoy the sunset while enjoying a drink. The children play in the street, in short, a pleasant atmosphere. Be sure to enjoy the view there yourself, bring a bag with a drink and something to eat and relax. There are regular performances in the castle in the summer. In short, a cozy and warm village where you can still see the artists at work.
In the summer there is a guingette (restaurant under thatched roof), a luxury restaurant and a crèperie. The supermarket, gas station and doctor are 1 km down the hill. There are many restaurants and terraces in the village of Goudargues, 2.5 km away. Beautiful hiking trails start past the church in our village and you can wander for hours in the forest and across the vineyards. Cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, quad biking, 4x4 driving, swimming, canoeing, paragliding, caving, abseiling, climbing park, yoga, bocce, gold panning, wine tasting, everything can be done in the area. Playground at 100m.
The Ceze River is 2.5 km away and has many beaches for swimming and relaxing. The cities of Uzes, Avignon, Nimes, Montpeillier and the Ardeche are 40-60 minutes away. At a distance of 117 km you will be at the sea in La Grande Motte. We have a guestbook with even more information in the house.
Our caretaker Audrey Legger arranges the reception and is available for questions and problems. She also cleans the plunge pool once a week. If you stay longer than a week, you can also book extra cleaning for the house with her.
