An atypical stay in the sun, view on the countryside, calm, ballade and petanque
You will appreciate the 3 very comfortable rooms and their very original decoration; in the middle of 50 hectares of scrubland in the Cévennes with a spectacular view.
The two mazets are perfect for couples, families (with children), and four-legged companions. We welcome up to 8 people in any season.
Ideal for moments of relaxation, sharing and authenticity.
Two side by side mazets separated by an interior courtyard for a stay with family or friends (up to 8 people):
A Cévennes mazet dressed all in white… Purity, elegance, skillful alchemy of natural materials, cement pavers with geometric decor, birch trunks, silk taffeta…
In the large bedroom, a bed in the heart of a birch forest with its sky of opalescent veils. The adjoining bathroom, where a majestic stone bathtub and two marble shells stand as basins.
In the lounge area, long, cozy benches for an evening by the fireplace; equipped kitchen and convivial and spacious dining area.
A wooden mazet where we have fitted out 2 bedrooms separated by a connecting bathroom ... on one side a white brick wall, an oak floor, raw wood, alcove beds with felted tartans and sheep skins. on the other a round bed, taffeta and ivory and white sheers on the windows; feathers, sparkling and luminous garlands, dream catchers, a large Louis Philippe mirror placed on the ground and bird cages hanging from the ceiling!
Behind the facade of this old barn hides an atmosphere of true freedom! Inside this most subtle decor, an authentic atmosphere and a country style that leaves nothing to chance, only hay bales are needed to keep the little sheep company.
Through the window, the garrigue and the valleys, let the imagination run wild… we are timeless, far from the city, nothing reminds us of the 21st century… listening, we could almost hear Fernand's sheep arriving ...
True rural luxury
These two mazets of 140 m2 each allow you to stay for several days, in complete freedom in the great outdoors, in an idyllic setting.
You also have at your disposal a swimming pool backed by a grove of umbrella pines and a tennis court. Relaxing or invigorating massages are also possible upon reservation.
We like to chat with our travelers a few days before, in order to best prepare your stay with us. We welcome you on your arrival to introduce you to the house and the property. We remain at your disposal to respond to all requests and find with you solutions that meet your expectations.

Je suis navrée si vous avez été déçue par notre accueil.
Afin de faciliter votre arrivée, dans la mesure où vous ne m'avez pas donné d'heure, je vous ai laissé les clés sur les portes. Vous êtes arrivée un samedi soir chez nous relativement tard, après 19h, et ce pour un court séjour de 4 jours. Nous avons échangé par SMS, et j'ai toujours été réactive pour répondre à vos demandes (le code wifi, noté dans le livret d'entrée; et une télécommande de clim que vous ne trouviez pas).
Je vous ai également envoyé un message en milieu de séjour pour savoir si tout se passait bien.
Enfin, je vous ai permis de quitter les lieux à 14h, au lieu de 11h du matin, car nous devions faire le ménage pour les prochains arrivants.
Je me demande bien ce que vous attendiez de plus comme accueil ?!
Quant au ménage, cela est souvent subjectif, je suis navrée si là aussi, cela n'était pas à la hauteur de vos attentes; mais j'y ai passé 3 heures avant que vous arriviez :)
Endroit très propre et spacieux, les chambres sont fabuleuse, la piscine ombragée, dommage de ne pas pouvoir profiter de toutes les installations du domaine st hilaire quand nous sommes clients des gîtes.
Logements conformes à l annonce,
Très beaux et spacieux
Bon accueil dans une belle propriété
Secteur géographique au calme comme ce que nous cherchions!
Merci!

mazets agréables et très bien équipés
Nous avons séjourné dans les 2 mazets de fernand pendant 3 nuits. Ils sont très bien équipés.
La piscine n'est pas aussi grande qu'elle le paraît et elle est à partager avec les occupants des chambres d'hôtes.

Merci pour votre appréciation.
Nous avons équipé les Mazets d’une autre piscine privative pour pallier à cet inconvénient depuis cette année.

Attention piscine à partager
Bel accueil
Les mazets sont décorés avec goût et fonctionnels
Excepté le fait que la piscine n’est pas du tout privative et éloignée des mazets ce qui n’est pas conforme à l’annonce
