About this property

Le Chene - Cosy gite with panoramic mountain views, immersed in beautiful nature

Les Coumayres consists of four unique, rustic, newly renovated gites. Le Chene is at the front of the house next to one more gite and the owners home. Behind the house are two larger gites, each with their own private terraces. We also have a Glamping site with two unique domes, located a couple of minutes walk from the house. Relax by the heated pool whilst the children splash around, play ping pong or have fun in the adventure playground. There is plenty of space for everyone with many terraces, including a unique tree platform where you can realx and read a book or enjoy the views. The gite has rustic charm and with the thick stone walls you'll keep cool in summer or cosy and warm in winter using the electric heaters or the wood log burner. There are two bedrooms; one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. You can buy some lovely local food from the open air markets and cook on the gas hob in the kitchen or outside on the communal stone BBQ. After unwinding and recharging at Les Coumayres you can hike down Les Milles Marches at Lac de Vezole, kayak on the river Orb, canyon in the beautiful rugged gorges, mountain bike or zip line. There's so many things to do for people who love nature and the wild countryside.

Magical views

We stayed in one of the gites. The surroundings are stunning- distant views across the Herault in a wonderfully renovated building. Autumn chestnuts all around and calm surrounds. About 15 mins drive from pretty Olargues. Le Chene backs on to another gite and when this was occupied, we could hear everything they were doing. (We had to wait for our neighbours to hit the hay before we could too.) This is an ideal place for a big group who can live happily side by side across the gites. The grounds are beautiful and the whole place is simply beautiful. Graham is a wonderful owner and host who clearly loves his home. He was generous with his time, uncovering the pool for an October dip and showing us his amazing work in the buildings. Lovely place for a rest with family and friends.

Un beau week-end entre amis

Un gite idéalement placé pour une randonnée d'une journée sur le sentier des légendes après une belle tempête de vent qui a entrainé une coupure d'électricité sur toute la région. Graham a été super gentil et serviable. Soirée aux bougies près du poêle mémorable.
