Luxury house in 15 acres of land with large private pool

Set back approximately 100 metres from the road and within 15 acres of private fenced land, this beautiful 18th century house is peaceful and secluded. The spacious interior and large separate pool house allows large groups to spend a holiday together without ever feeling crowded. For a tour of the house and land, please see our youtube tour.

Inside, the house is furnished to a very high standard with a Lacanche oven, American style fridge freezers and a large amount of kitchen equipment for guests who enjoy cooking. There is a wide screen TV, HiFi stereo system, WiFi Internet - now recently fibre - and a large selection of books and videos.

Outside there are two separate patios for eating and relaxation. The pool is large (15m x 7m) and has an automatic safety cover with security clips. Adjacent to the pool is the pool house, which provides additional ensuite accommodation and a large lounge with comfortable seating.

Within the 15 acres of land there are there are also substantial recreational facilities including swings, a trampoline with safety net, and a football goal.

Things to do...
Food :-
The nearest shops are the local Carrefour and petrol station at Vezenobres. This is open on Sunday mornings. Small local shops and bakers are in the next village at Mejannes les Ales approx 5km. Ales is the nearest town (9km or 13min drive) and has a range of shops and restaurants including a large hypermarket (Cora). Closer to the house there is a fabulous restaurant (Auberge des Voutins) which always has a superb menu.

Locally there is a rich cultural history and plenty for those who want to explore. There are multiple historic sites close by including the Market towns of Uzes and Anduze and well as the Roman city museums and amphitheatre at Nimes. The nearby cave systems at Trubuc are fantastic, with regular guided tours.

There are two nearby aerial walkways (high ropes and zip wires) which are great fun for both children and adults. Alternatively canoeing from Collias takes you right underneath the historic Pont de Gard along the river Gard.

The nearest beach is 'La Grande Motte' is just over an hours drive away and is 10km of gently sloping sandy beach with sand dunes. The beach cafes offer excellent food and there is municipal parking next to the dunes.

For the more energetic there is paragliding at Seynes, rafting in the Cevenne and the Ardeche, and a national go-karting track in the nearby town Ales. The local area is great for cycling (both road and offroad) and there is a local horse riding school for those who enjoy riding.

There is a fumade or natural spring spa resort in a town close by. Golf is available at Nimes and Uzes and in the Winter skiing is possible in the Cevennes at Mount Lozere.

For those who prefer to simply chill out and relax the house and surrounding land is completely private and tranquil.

So much more than the summarised description. We kept finding new delightful features that made our holiday so enjoyable and memorable. The location is not easy to find but so well worth it.

Be careful!
Overall, villa itself and especially outdoors area are nice and met our expectations. Heated swimming pool was especially useful and it was warm enough for kids to spend as much time in the water as they wanted. The stay was, however, not without issues. When we arrived villa was not very clean. It was dusty and not thoroughly cleaned. Instead of a gas grill which can be seen in the photos, there was only plancha and small charcoal grill which made cooking for 17 people quite tricky. We did, however, make no issues out of it, which, in hindsight, we should have done. At the end of the stay we got blamed and charged for couple of things we did not break – the pull-out bed and pool cover clippers. We even got charged for the extra cleaning even though we left villa in the usual standard of cleanliness (with all the dishes done, etc). We stayed many times in French, Italian and Spanish villas and never experienced such issues. Again, in hindsight, we should have reported any breakage we found to the owner but you don‘t want to spend beginning of your holidays doing full inventory of the villa. The owner of the villa is not present at site and is not very responsive to the requests (eg for the preparation of rooms, restaurant recommendations). Local guy looking after the villa was not particularly pleasant or fair especially at the end of our stay. It feels like he uses every opportunity to earn a bit of a cash on the side. We tried to reason with the owner – but reasoning is difficult when the owner has the deposit you paid and has no way of checking things. All in all, good villa but not the best experience.

Idyllic, luxurious getaway in beautiful location
Sixteen members of my family stayed here for a week in July 2019 - 8 kids and 8 adults - and we had the most wonderful time. The house is perfect - beautiful, spacious, comfortable - and the exterior, with the pool, pool house and dining area, just wonderful. We barely felt the need to leave although our day trips to Uzes and Pont du Gard were spectacular. It's a lovely secluded location, peaceful and bucolic. I can't recommend it highly enough. Many thanks to the owner and the helpful manager for making our stay so great.

A beautiful welcoming holiday home for all the family
This spacious characterful house and extensive grounds with a fanatstic pool (and pool house) gave 13 members of our family, aged from 2 to 67 the most wonderful and memorable holiday. The heat ( up to 36C) meant that the pool was favourite, hotly (yep) followed by the huge trampoline and, for some, the telescope and the night sky, where we saw the moons of Jupiter and rings of Saturn for the first time. There was space for everyone to spread out as well as communal areas for us to gather for meals, inside and out. The biting insects were the only downside but we realise that comes with the territory. It was the perfect place to celebrate the various birthdays and anniversaries that fell during our holiday and we would all love to return. We variously enjoyed visiting Nimes, Uzes, local villages, the Pont du Gard, the Forest Park and the Water Park but the star of this holiday was Mas des Gardies.

Memorable week, fabulous property :)
Even better than the photos! Everything clean and tidy, the best equipped property we've ever stayed in. An inspired idea to have two dishwashers! And no fighting for sunbeds more than enough for everyone. Lesley was very helpful in advance of our stay and Guy was on hand on site (and very polite about our 'O'level' French ;) Thank you!

Peaceful and comfortable four days spent thoroughly relaxing in this impressive house. I have no doubt that I will come here again. Robin

Just Perfect
This was a family holiday for 16. It was a fabulous place to meet and share time together. The house was more than we could have hoped for, it lacked for nothing. The salt water swimming pool was also a great hit with the children ( and some of the bigger children !!! ) A very friendly & helpful caretaker ( sorry, his name escapes me)visited us daily. He was also great. We would all love to return. Thank you

A fantastic house for our party of 10 adults and 8 children
This is a lovely place for adults and children alike. The pool was a great hit with all. And we kept discovering new things to do. So many games toys etc for all ages. All the bedrooms have a bathroom and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor dining space for our group of 18.
