It has been lovingly restored inside and out, with the facilities you would expect of a modern house (WiFi, air conditioning) set in beautiful rural surroundings. Off-street parking for 2 cars and a large terraced outdoor space, with an enclosed private outdoor pool on the terrace below, 10x5m in size. Huge shaded terrace area with plenty of space for eating and relaxing. A well-equipped kitchen with outdoor gas BBQ also. Highchair, childrens toys, books, games and DVDs available.
A short drive to the amenities, food markets and restaurants of Anduze, with tennis courts, river swimming, canoeing, walking, cycling routes locally. Local wine cooperative in Tornac with award-winning wines, Nimes and Uzes half an hour away, and an hour from Montpellier and the coast.

What a gem!

One of the very best VRBO experiences we have ever had. Liz is very accommodating and a perfect host. The property is just incredible; imagine your own 17th century villa amongst French vineyards with your own massive pool! We stayed here for four memorable nights and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. The furnishings in this “castle” are all very high end (like the linens and the newly renovated kitchen and appliances) and there’s even air conditioning for all three massive bedrooms. Even though it’s a bit of an adventure getting there with some extremely tight medieval style narrow streets it’s totally worth it and we want to go back again for sure!

Séjour paisible et dans un cadre authentique

En vacances quelques jours pour Pâques en famille avec les grands parents (4 adultes, 2 adolescents et un enfant de 4 ans), nous avons été enchantés par la maison, qui a beaucoup de cachet et se trouve dans un tout petit hameau très paisible. Propreté impeccable de la maison, linge de maison fourni ce qui est très appréciable. Nous avons profité de la terrasse dont le potentiel est sans doute encore plus grand en été, mais déjà bien agréable. Maison sur 3 niveaux donc beaucoup d'escaliers à gravir. Seul petit bémol : les toilettes qui nécessitent dans chaque cas de traverser une chambre, donc quelques soucis d'intimité parfois. Au total nous recommandons fortement cette location, et sa propriétaire qui est très disponible et fournit de nombreux renseignements au moment de la réservation.

Très bonne expérience

Le gîte a beaucoup de charme et est très bien situé. La propriétaire est adorable, et surtout très réactive lorsqu'on lui pose une question. En résumé, un gîte à louer les yeux fermés !

About the host

Hosted by Liz

Liz and Paul were lucky enough to buy Mas de Soie in 2011, the same year they became parents to twins Tom and Olivia. Having spent many years of holidays at the house with friends and family, they are delighted to share it with other families to enjoy the same. Children will splash happily in the pool, the entire day could be whiled away on the terrace reading or taking the occasional dip to cool off. Evenings on the terrace enjoying a meal of local food and wine would round off a perfect day.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful rustic stone-walled building, plenty of character inside and out with beamed ceilings and even an old well in the kitchen (safely covered!).
Views out across the hamlet and trees, the house is in a quiet hamlet of Laucire which is part of the commune of Tornac. Perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday with friends or family to restore and recharge.
