We have just returned home after an amazing two weeks in this beautiful villa. Everything exactly as described, super clean, perfect for the full family including 2 dogs. The host maintained excellent communication with clear check in instructions plus other advice on local activities. The house and pool were just fabulous - there was everything we could possibly need from pool towels, washing machine, outdoor grill area, poolside toilet and shower and air conditioning which we were very thankful for. The pool area and garden was 100% secure so ideal for families with young children and pets. Would highly recommend this villa and host.

We had the most wonderful two weeks here with the perfect property, pool, gardens and beautiful surroundings. The house was clean, very well set up, AC and wonderful showers. Kitchen well equipped with everything you need and great bbq too. The pool is the perfect size and enclosed garden wonderful for our dog.
There is lots to do in the surrounding area with lovely villages and towns and Barjac has a great Friday morning market, wonderful bakers and lovely restaurants and bars. So many water activities and wild swimming in the area too.
Karine was the perfect host and we couldn’t have asked for more. Really hope to return - a beautiful spot, quiet haven and ideal pool with opportunities to do as much or as little as you’d like on your holiday. Couldn’t ask for more.

Thank you very much Hayley, this is the best comment since we started renting the house. I sincerely hope that you will come back, it is a pleasure to welcome tenants like you. We are always happy to welcome our English friends. See you soon, Karine 😊
We had the most relaxing stay at this lovely villa.
We were a family of 8 across three generations.
The setting is delightful. Down a cobbled road just outside a little hamlet, yet 6mins drive to the lovely village of Barjac which has a wonderful boulangerie, ice cream shop, cafes and a great little supermarket with fabulous fresh meat.
The highlight was the walk to the river (under 2k from the house down a cobbled lane - walk in 30ish mins or take the bikes for extra fun. The river is truly magical. We spent many an hour here skimming stones, building a dam, swimming in the water. Magical.
The villa has absolutely everything you would need which makes it a perfect home from home. We would throw up the windows and eat alfresco every night. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Lots of dining options in Barjac and we tried a restaurant twice - super friendly with our pigeon french!
The pool was perfect. Only annoyance was the wasps that came out in the afternoon my son got stung a couple of times, but that’s something you have to live with at that time of year (end of Aug). Bring some mozzie coils or get some at the supermarket.
Communications were responsive and helpful. Can’t speak highly enough of this property and we will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und war für uns als Familie für 14 Tage mit allen ausgestattet, was wir benötigten.Super schöne Lage, um mit dem Hund zu laufen!
Nous avons passés deux semaines en famille dans le logement de Karine. La maison est exactement comme sur l’annonce. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine et la climatisation durant la semaine de canicule :)Les villages des environs sont charmants et il y’a pleins d’activités à faire avec les enfants.La propriétaire est une personne très sympathique et à disposition si besoin. Nous ne pouvons que recommander vivement ce logement.
Wir haben einen sehr schönen Urlaub in einem sehr ruhig gelegenen, schönen Ferienhaus verbracht. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Der Pool ist herrlich, mit Salzwasser befüllt und sehr gepflegt. Die Vermieterin ist eine äußerst freundliche und sehr hilfsbereite Dame, zu der wir einen guten Kontakt hatten und die sich immer nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundigt hat. Wir können das Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt empfehlen!
Endroit idéal pour se reposer mais également pour visiter la région de l’Ardèche, des Cévennes où de faire des randonnées. Un accueil chaleureux par la propriétaire qui reste accessible en cas de questions ou de problèmes. Nous avons passé des très bonnes vacances.

Fijn huis met een prettig zwembad en volledige privacy. Heel rustig gelegen in een omgeving waar genoeg uitstapjes te maken zijn. Voor ons een heerlijk weekje☀️
Wir haben 2 Wochen Familienurlaub genossen. Ausfüge in die Camargue, nach Avignon, Nimes und natürlich Paddeln auf der Ardeche. Tolle Ausgangsbasis und trotzdem kann man die Ruhe der Einsamkeit auf dem Naturgrundstück genießen. Schmetterlinge, Eidechsen, Schnecken und ein kleines Reh haben uns besucht.

La maison est exactement comme décrite sur l’annonce. La piscine a été très appréciée avec le chant des cigales, endroit très calme et reposant. Des balades à faire sans prendre la voiture c’est très agréable. La maison rien à dire, tout est parfait, la climatisation très appréciée. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour de 2 semaines.

Wir, meine Frau und unser Hund Benji haben eine wundervolle Zeit in diesem schönen und ruhigen Anwesen verbracht. Das Haus ist stillvoll eingerichtet, es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht, der Pool ist sehr sauber und auf 27-28°C schön warm beheizt. Die Umgebung war für uns genau das richtige, die ganze Zeit ruhig, wundervolle kleine Städte zum Essen und Bummeln alles was man braucht um einen erholsamen Urlaub zu verbringen. Wir kommen auf jedenfall wieder.
