The Experience
Delightfully, typically French. Having begun life as a hunting lodge before being upgraded to house a wine producer, this handsome manor is perfect now for families who relish the vieille France feel. Light pours in to high-ceilinged, uncluttered rooms – downstairs doors removed for an easy flow to the space. There’s a simple, practical kitchen, a long-tabled dining room, a piano, a friendly old rocking horse, books, games, colourful modern light fittings. Things are family comfortable rather than overly smart. Tall-windowed, colour-washed bedrooms with garden views, share two large shower rooms and two separate loos. And there’s masses of space in the gated, walled garden too – where oleander, wisteria and lavender bloom – with its private pool (heated on request at an extra charge), boules, barbecue, covered veranda, pointing cypress, poplar trees and tree house! This is a great food and wine area – Uzès’ buzzing Saturday market’s a must. Do visit Roman Nimes; perhaps see bulls run in local towns, or visit them in the Camargue, a 40 minute drive away.

Reluctant to write a review as this place is a real find! Three generations stayed for a week including children of 18 months and 3. Everything is as described. You cannot help but slow down here. The grandparents and the little ones always find that easy - but it was wonderful watching the young adults switch off too. You definitely need a car but the next village is easily walkable to pick up pastries for the morning. We visited Pont du Gard, Avignon and la Grande Motte but happily spent days at the house. Claire was great at responding to queries before, during and after our stay. Thank you,

We stayed as a family group of 6 adults and 2 teenagers for an October half-term week in mid October. Everyone agreed that Mas de Mahystre was the most wonderful house- with lots of the owner’s personal touch and full of character, spacious and comfortable and a lovely garden and pool which we used everyday day. We loved buying local produce in the village markets and “eating in” using the dining hall or outside terrace. None of us had been to the area before. Not touristy and all the better for it as you can enjoy unspoiled villages and countryside as well as Nîmes and Montpellier.

September 2023 our family spent 2wks at Mas de Mahystre South of France. Before I talk about the wonderful house and trip I would like to give a big thank you Claire and Neil for allowing us to bring our three golden retrievers with us on holiday, I struggle to find places to rent that are beautiful and allow 3 dogs! The house and gardens are simply stunning! Equipped with all you would need for fun relaxing days and long lazy evenings. The pool (like the house) is clean and a joy! You will need a car for day trips out but there are plenty of local shops. Thoroughly recommend a stay here!

Location
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Claire Ashworth
- The lovely market town of Calvisson is a 5 minute drive away. On Sunday mornings the popular, bustling, authentic market animates the main square and surrounding streets. A real gem of a market with delicious local produce.
- The Roman city of Nimes is a beautiful 25 minute drive over the hills. The pedestrian old town is utterly charming and once you've marveled at the Roman Arena and other Roman remains, there are hundreds of delightful cafes in the squares and streets.
- The vibrant university town of Montpellier is a mere 40 minute drive away. It is an enticing melange of old and modern architecture and the old town is bursting with creativity. Great for shopping, wandering, dreaming and people watching.
- The mediterranean sea is only 35 minutes by car. We love the beaches in between La Grande Motte and Palavas. There are so many fantastic beach bars and restaurants to choose from or you can just pitch up on the soft sand with your umbrella and towel.
- Fabulous cycling and walking surrounds the house. No need to jump in the car, just head towards the vines! If you want hills, head towards the Cevennes mountains north of our house for some beautiful villages, river swimming and canoeing.
- The medieval town of Usez, the Haribo sweet museum and the Roman Pont du Gard are all very close to each other and what a perfect combination for a wonderful family day out. Something for everyone within a 45 minute drive.

We had an amazing time at Mas de Mahystre for a week. The house is absolutely beautiful and also works perfectly for a family holiday with lovely outdoor seating areas and, of course, the fantastic swimming pool which our 10 month old absolutely loved. The area is wonderful, not too touristy but also lots to see, eat and visit and all the amenities you need nearby. Claire was really helpful throughout the booking and visit and communication was prompt. We would definitely come back and stay here again - Mas de Mahystre a truly special place.
