Incredible property and view
I stayed at this 300+ year old property with various family members and friends for a month. The apartment, part of a small hamlet half way up a small mountain, was wonderful. The views from the patio and kitchen were sublime. Also, the adjoining lawns and gardens are huge. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. There are several hikes available right from the property and a lovely waterfall and rock swimming beach at the base of the mountain. The apartment is 1 hour north of Montpellier and there are several other day trips in the region such as a visit to Saint Guilhem-le-Désert. A true taste of French country life.

Dem Himmel so nah
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt bei bestem Wetter. Die Alleinlage erlaubt in der Nacht einen außergewöhnlichen Blick auf den Sternenhimmel, ganz zu Schweigen von der Aussicht in die Cevennen bei Tag. Als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen zu Fuß und mit dem Auto bestens geeignet! Hoffentlich können wir bald wiederkommen.

Ein Paradies, falls…
In der Zeit unserer alleinigen Anwesenheit haben wir Haus und Umgebung sehr genossen, ein Traum, wie schon andere Urlauber beschrieben haben. Die Besitzer sind nett und unkompliziert, wir durften Tomaten ernten, die lecker sind…Nur: irreführend ist es, nicht auf die mögliche Anwesenheit weiterer Urlauber im gleichen Gebäude mit großer Terrasse direkt über unserer hinzuweisen, es handelt sich nicht um eine, sondern zwei Appartements in dem sicher urigen alten Gemäuer. Wir hatten so in der ersten von drei Urlaubswochen Lärm von Oben, morgens früh und an den Abenden (4 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder, ein Hund, inkl. Musik und lauter Unterhaltung ohne Rücksicht auf uns. Daher geben wir 2 Sterne Abzug, leider, denn es kann wirklich ein Paradies sein!

Un gîte très accueillant dans une nature préservée
La Combe, c'est un hameau cévenol intelligemment préservé par quelques passionnés. Joelle et Patrick sont de ceux là, et nous y accueillent chaleureusement. Nous tombons immédiatement sous le charme de ce vieux mas amoureusement restauré, meublé à l’ancienne et décoré avec gout. Parfaitement équipé pour recevoir les visiteurs.C’est un merveilleux balcon sur la nature, pour se reposer de la fatigue des randonnées à l’entour, ou de l’agitation du monde. Merci à Joelle et Patrick de nous avoir fait partager leur petit paradis. Nous espérons y revenir. Michel et Jeannou

Per aspera ad astra
Wenn man die knapp zwei Kilometer lange enge, steile und kurvenreiche Zufahrtstraße bewältigt hat, kommt man in dem kleinen Ort La Combe an und hat einen tollen Blick auf die Berge und die Umgebung. Die mit Antiquitäten geschmackvoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Blick von der Südterrasse ist toll und nachts kann man hervorragend die Sterne beobachten. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können die Wohnung sehr empfehlen.

Nice holiday home
Placed in a hamlet above the regions' most popular river bathing location (the Vis cascade), the spacious appartment (for 4, but with additionally available space for more people) is located ideally for excursions into the valleys of the Vis, the Herault, and the Buèges. From the hamlet itself, one can do a nice hike to a freely accessible cave with hints of stalactite formation to do before finally visiting the wonder of the Grotte des Desmoiselles. The heart of the appartment is a spacious terrace from which one can gaaze over the Cevenne scenery during the day and observe the moon rise (or the stars) at night. There is wifi, a large TV screen, and in the garden there is a source-linked freshwater basin others would rightfully announce as a pool. Very easy communication with the host. A carefree experience in a wonderful setting.
