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.

This was one of the best holiday houses we have ever stayed in! The most beautiful decor in the house which was also very spacious, pool was really big as was the garden. You definitely need a car but the house was perfectly situated to explore the local area-we barely scratched the surface with things to do and could have happily stayed much longer! We were a group of two families with 5 teenagers between us and everyone had a wonderful time. The owners were so helpful and easily contactable from start to finish. We would definitely recommend and would love to go back one day.

We had the most wonderful stay for two weeks in July. Our host, Claire, was so responsive from the outset, answering all my many questions before we had even booked. And this level of communication continued throughout our stay. We loved the location - very quiet and surrounded countryside -easy to get to amazing beaches and beautiful historic towns and villages. The pool was amazing - definitely a highlight for us. And enabled us to teach our 3 year-old to swim. The house had everything you needed - fab kitchen and wonderful outside eating area. If we get the chance, we'd love to return.

What a wonderful house, garden and village! We were a family of ten with children and they loved spending time in the garden and pool. Lots of lovely meals on the patio in the beautiful weather. Would love to come back!


Clare, Cranbrook

We had the most wonderful family holiday based at this peaceful, elegant and roomy house, which has stunning period details throughout. The tiled floors, shutters and thick walls keep it cool even in the fiercest sunshine and the pool is blissfully refreshing. The nearby villages are beautiful and the stunning Roman cities of Nimes and Uzes are an easy drive. Pont du Gard was an extraordinary day out and trips to the sandy beaches were a delight. The owner, Claire, was extremely helpful before and throughout our trip. There was so much more we wanted to see; we shall definitely be back!

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.
