We stayed at the villa for a week, and had a great time! T
We stayed at the villa for a week, and had a great time! The villa is located in a beautiful quiet area which we enjoyed a lot. It’s a great place to hang out next to the pool, take trips to the cute villages near by, go on hikes and calm down from the city life. The caretaker, an in-resident artist living on the property, was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely come again!

The photos don't do it justice. It's better than the pictures! It's bigger, it's even more beautiful and relaxing, and it's almost unbelievably picturesque. I don't do reviews because I don't trust reviewers, but this is one property that's worth taking the time to tell other people about. Book it now, you'll never regret it.

Toll gelegen, tolles Anwesen,
Toll gelegen, tolles Anwesen, mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Chapeau! Ganz ehrlich, es ist genau so, wie auf den Bildern! Nicht so gut für uns war: Großteil vom Geschirr und Besteck war schmutzig (mit Essensresten), 1 Sonnenschirm für 6 Personen (der war defekt, ihm fehlten zwei Arme). Man teilt sich den Innenhof mit dem Verwalter (der ist sehr nett). Klopapier reicht nur bis zum nächsten Morgen (zum nächsten Supermarkt fährt man 15 min). Das Gute daran: in St. Martin de Londres ist sonntags ein toller Markt.

Zum Abschalten genau das Richtige!
Der Pool mit seinen 15 Meter länge, ist der Hit!
Die Villa ist in einem Topp Zustand, sehr gepflegt und mit Liebe eingerichtet!
Die Bäder sind so Toll und Schön, wäre noch ein Bett darin gestanden, ich hätte darin Übernachtet.
Das war bestimmt nicht das letzte mal, wir werden wieder kommen, definitiv!!!

Très beau mas et bergerie du 18e siècle
Très beau mas et bergerie du 18e siècle, le tout restauré avec soin et simplicité. Beaux espaces intérieurs. Au coeur de la guarrigue montpelliéraine, calme absolu garanti. Accès facile et position idéale à proximité des paysages remarquables de cet arrière-pays à découvrir, entre garrigues et Causses. La mer n'est pas loin, mais la maison donne sur une belle piscine avec une vue ouverte sur forêt et champs. Gardien à proximité et hôte réactif en cas de besoin.
