More about the house and garden: The grounds are about ¼ acre, with large swimming pool (12 x 5 metres) for the exclusive use of guests, fully fenced off in compliance with French law; and with a solar-heated shower. There is a pool house with fridge, table and chairs, and sun loungers.
The rest of the garden comprises an olive grove, ancient well (covered and gated), and raised beds separated by river gravel. There are views to open country to the west, and over vineyards to the north. The property is fully fenced with gates that can be closed to allow small children to run around freely, although our lane is not a through road and so has very little traffic. A barbecue is provided. There is parking for 3 - 4 cars.
Cévennes National Park: The Cévennes National Park is an unspoilt area of great natural beauty, and designated by UNESCO as a site of world importance. Mas des Costes is perfectly located for exploring the Park, and we keep guide books and maps at the house to help visitors enjoy the Park during their stay.
