Description

The house has four bedrooms (2 x double king size beds; 1 x twin single beds; 1 x full-size single bunk beds), two bathrooms plus a further shower room/wc, large kitchen/dining room, and sitting room. There is a large shaded outdoor area for dining and relaxing, and a purpose-built barbecue.

We have fibre broadband to the house which provides very fast and reliable internet access and cable TV. There is also UK satellite TV.
We can provide a cot and a high chair for infants.
Parking for 3 - 4 cars.

The Region
Anduze, our local market town, offers shopping, local markets, craft shops, and restaurants. In the surrounding area, there are many local craft centres, vineyards, and museums. From Easter until the end of the summer there is a steam train which runs from Anduze up the beautiful Gardon valley to St. Jean du Gard.
Anduze is the point where the foothills of the Cevennes meet the Languedoc plain. It is, therefore, the ideal base for walking in the magnificent Cevennes National Park using the numerous waymarked trails where you can walk for miles without seeing another hiker. Alternatively, it is possible to explore this wild region by car along the Corniche des Cevennes, visiting pretty mountain villages such as Florac, or the dramatic Gorges du Tarn. Robert Louis Stevenson traveled here and wrote about this region in ‘Travels with a Donkey’. (It is possible to retrace Stevenson’s steps, using donkeys to carry your luggage). The Cevennes has been designated a site of world environmental importance by UNESCO.
The Mediterranean coast is within one hour’s drive. The nearest resort is Le Grau du Roi which has long sandy beaches, and a lively old fishing port with excellent fish restaurants overlooking the water.
Nearby are the provençal towns of Avignon, Arles, and Nîmes. They are important centres for arts festivals and concerts throughout the summer months, possess splendid galleries, museums, and restaurants, and have some of the best preserved Roman buildings remaining anywhere. The Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard is also nearby.
Further afield, the Ardèche valley and the Camargue National Park are easily within a day’s expedition. The Camargue offers opportunities to explore the nature reserves with their flamingos, bulls, and white horses. The Rhône delta has miles of fine sandy beaches.

Return visit

By Julian Cousins on 15-Jul-2023

We were lucky enough to win a charity auction kindly donated by the owner Malcolm. Unfortunately Covid hit but our reservation remained valid until we were able to travel. The pre travel information provided was excellent and although the villa is in a quiet rural location, it was easy to find and access. The villa itself is well appointed with all the necessary comforts including wifi which my teenage daughters considered essential! It is spacious and comfortable with well appointed bedrooms. The pool was superb and became the family hub. We enjoyed our stay so much we rebooked. Again a lovely stay, just a very easy place to relax and unwind. The second time I took my bicycle and took numerous routes to the local towns and beyond. Highly recommended for cyclists. Local shops are a car ride away but there are quality local markets and the town of Anduze has every thing you need, including some very decent restaurants. If you''re looking for a place to unwind and relax, go for country walks, explore the nearby towns, this is the place for you. I highly recommended it and would return.

Brilliant pool

By Deborah E on 22-Aug-2015

We thoroughly enjoyed our week''s stay at Mas de Costas and wish it could have been for longer. We had a very relaxing time - there was plenty of space and everything a family would need both inside and outside - very well equipped and well presented. The large pool and surround were brilliant - allowing us to cool down, sunbathe and exercise at our leisure. The surrounding area is lovely. Anduze the nearest town has some interesting corners and the local countryside is idyllic - great for walking or just admiring. We really look forward to our return!

Stunningly beautiful

By Jenifer H on 22-Dec-2012

The online photos don''t show how stunningly beautiful both the property, its grounds and the surrounding area are. The property is well laid out with doors opening to the outside area from both the kitchen and lounge area. It is well maintained and extremely comfortable both internally and externally. It is situated in a tranquil spot but it is also close to Anduze with its numerous cafes, market, shops, and river. The information folder covers both Anduze and other places of interest. Having spent 5 days in Nimes we particularly enjoyed sitting, relaxing by the pool and reading some of the many excellent books in the farmhouse. The kitchen and eating areas were so well equipped and provided such an enjoyable eating area we spent most evenings eating in. We had no problems during our stay but were reassured that had there been any all the necessary phone numbers, including the English speaking caretaker and the owner, were to hand. The owner provided excellent customer service and dealt promptly and efficiently with all of our queries.
