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.

Reviews

The perfect house for large family gatherings. Rural, lesser-known Saint-Côme is the perfect village from which to explore many attractions – from historic towns and medieval villages to beaches, markets and vineyards. There are walks nearby, rivers for kayaking and wild swimming, restaurants to suit all tastes. Or simply linger by your pool, enjoy the garden and al fresco meals in the shady, wisteria-framed veranda.

Lovely stay at this beautiful house in a stunning setting amongst the vineyards. The local wine is excellent btw! The local bull running event is not to be missed- although beware that the music goes on all night - all weekend!!! - All part of the fun. We loved our beach trips and an evening in Nimes.

We had a lovely week at Mrs de Mahystre this summer. The position of the property was fantastic; very close to beautiful and quiet villages but also easy to get to the Camargue, Pont du Gard etc. Claire was really helpful with any queries we had and pointed us in the right direction for local amenities and places to visit. We all enjoyed the house, particularly the outside seating area... A great base in a beautiful part of France.


Bill, Oxford

We had a family holiday and big birthday celebration at Mas de Mahystre and couldn't have found a better location. On arrival in the late evening, the place looked stunning. The house, the pool and garden, the local area, it really was ideal, everyone enjoyed themselves, from toddlers to grandparents. We're so grateful to Claire for preparing the house for our visit and being such a delight to deal with throughout. We all said we would like to visit again one day, for now we have so many happy memories to share from our wonderful holiday.


Simi, Holmfirth

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, traditional family house - perfect for 2 families holidaying together celebrating a big birthday! The pool was delightful as was the terrace - perfect for eating outside in the evenings. We saw several Hoopoes in the garden -so lovely to see. We had days out at Uzes, the Pont-du-Gard and the Plage de L’Espigette all highly recommended. All in all a really enjoyable week! Thank you very much!

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.
