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.

We rented with friends, totalling 4 adults and 4 kids aged 12 to 18. The house is spacious, very comfortable, and well-furnished. Outdoor areas (dining area, pool, garden) are very pleasant. The house is sufficiently secluded while close to several villages offering various amenities. Nîmes and its Roman past is very close and it is easy to spend a day or a half-day on unspoiled Mediterranean beaches. For wine amateurs, there are a number of wineries in the area. It is also easy to rent bikes and enjoy the dedicated path or the nearby hills. We had a fantastic stay and thoroughly enjoyed it.


Nick, Reading

Wonderful stay in a beautiful house near Nimes. The owners are very kind.


Henry, London

A lovely house in a beautiful location, we had a wonderful week there in the late September sun. The house was very comfortable, well equipped and very spacious (there was ample space for the four under 4s to rampage around at will). The garden and pool is great and we enjoyed eating outside every night under the stars. Very well positioned for nearby jaunts to the charming Nimes, Sommieres and the surrounding villages, locals all incredibly friendly too and the bar in St Come is great. Had a really enjoyable day trip to the beach in the Camargue too. We would love to return one day.


Annette, Cornwall

Wow! Just what we were hoping for. A tranquil escape from every day life in the UK. Peaceful and calm property with wonderful pool in a gorgeous region of southern France. Lots of homely touches and perfect hosts if we needed them. Thank you Claire and Neil we love Mas de Mahystre and will be back (if you’ll have us!!)

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.
