Relaxing stay in charming home - highly recommend

Emilie was a gracious and lovely host who provided us with tips for all the wonderful visits and hikes in the area. We were able to relax and enjoy the peaceful south-of-france ambiance both inside and outside of the home. Wine-tasting in nearby Fougères, lake-swimming and hikes in Gorges d'Heric before coming home to taste new wines in our cozy cottage made this a holiday I hope to do all over again. Great for romantic getaway or family trip; we found it to be both at the same time!

great holiday

Stayed in Gabian for two weeks, the house was very comfortable, clean and well placed for exploring the surrounding area. Town itself is good although not much in the way of shops, however, a 10min drive to the next town of Roujan provides all essentials. Nearest beach is Meze about 40mins, the town is easy to access with no parking issues. Nearest beach directly by the sea is an hour. Would love to go again

Stunning property in fabulous old village.

A lovely home in a medieval village, with a charming private courtyard. The house is fabulous - beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished on all three levels. It is very well equipped with everything you need for a home from home. The location is fantastic with many wonderful places within easy reach by car - Pezanas, Beziers, St Guilhem le Desert, Narbonne, Carcasonne and many more. Our host, Emilie, provided great suggestions of places to visit included in the very comprehensive house guide. Gabbian is small with a friendly pub that offers live music once a week, which is great fun! While it has a Boulangerie, Pharmacy, an Epicerie and a small weekly fruit and veg market every Weds, just 10mins away is Roujon which offers much more including a great supermarket and other bars/shops. Beautiful Pezanas is only 20mins away by car with plenty of car parking and a fantastic street market on Saturdays. While parking at the property is not possible, we were always able to park somewhere within 300m in the village, so not too far for cases. We absolutely recommend this property.

Erholung im Süden Frankreichs

Das Haus von Emilie ist sehr geräumig und stilvoll eingerichtet. Es eignet sich perfekt für Ausflüge an den angrenzenden Nationalpark oder ans Meer. Die Kommunikation mit Emilie verlief problemlos und unkompliziert. Wir hatten in Gabian sehr schöne Tage und können das Haus von Emilie nur weiterempfehlen.

Parfait

Maison conforme aux photos, très bien située dans le charmant village de Gabian. À mi chemin entre mer et montagne, à 20 mn de la si belle Pezenas, idéal pour se ressourcer et être au calme. Voiture obligatoire. Beaucoup de belles randonnées pédestres. Émilie la prioritaire est très réactive et agréable. Je recommande vivement.

Cozy, well maintained holiday home perfectly located between beaches and mountains

We enjoyed 11 days in Gabian with our 3 teenagers, exploring the area with our bikes and enjoying tasty food in a variety of good restaurants in the area. Gabian is a wonderfully calm and friendly little village, perfectly situated to explore both, mountains and beaches and to start daytrips by car to farther away points of interest in the Langedoc. We clearly recommend the house for families with a little more grown up children who no longer require permanent surveillance due to the construction of the house.

Lovely old stone property really well furnished and comfortable inside, and a nice sunny courtyard

The property was excellent, really well furnished and modernised with plenty of hot water and a nice kitchen. As mentioned by the owner, steep stairs and location at the top of a hill mean this isn't ideal for those with infirm relatives or toddlers. The village of Gabian is friendly but very quiet, with a small convenience store and a small bar/cafe for locals, with mainly elderly residents. There are plenty of nice restaurants within a short drive. Access to the property could be an issue; I made the mistake of driving my hired estate car to the door to unload our bags at the start of the week, and managed to scrape the wing mirror - very narrow, steep and winding streets leading up to the house. Better to park in the nearby car park and transfer luggage on foot if driving a large vehicle. The location is excellent with young children; we visited beaches, a lake, dinosaur park and aquarium over the week which was great fun.

Thanks for your detailed description, Steve. Your comments about parking are especially helpful for visitors - while Gabian's winding cobbled streets are incredibly charming, they aren't ideal for driving (as I too have found out on many an occasion). Hope to see you again soon!

A very cosy hideaway

We booked the house for our family for Christmas and new year and were absolutely delighted! On arrival the house was toasty warm and thoroughly inviting. The house oozes old-world charm and is comfortable in every way with excellent facilities and everything to ensure comfort and a great stay. Whilst the family spent much of their time with us, they felt very much at home here and it was, at times, hard to drag them out! I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a charming hideaway in a delightful French village!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
Thank you Richard for your kind review. Gabian is indeed a special place and I am so pleased that your family felt as if they were home for Christmas. I hope they'll be back to enjoy it at another time of year!

Recommended if you want to getaway in the Winter

We had the most wonderful time in Gabian at this beautiful home. By the end of the first morning it already felt like our home away from home and we can't wait to go back. We had never been to the region in the Winter and were nervous about whether we would feel isolated or if the weather would impact our stay, and I can honestly say that it was perfect. So peaceful to walk among the naked vines, and discover roads without all the traffic of the Summer crowds, and unbelievably relaxing to drink wine and read by the fire, and there were board games available for us to play after dinner. The only addition I proposed is that they provide puzzles as well! If you are looking for a place to unwind and simply get away from it all, we couldn't recommend this place more.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar 2020
Thank you for the suggestion Anne! Puzzles are a great idea. We'll make sure to add a few for use by guests before the end of the Winter. I hope you come back again next year.

Peaceful retreat for all

The house was a perfect place for me and my wife to relax and rejuvenate in a peaceful environment. This gorgeous house has every amenity you would need and the location is perfect for day trips in the region and for tasting amazing wine. We felt really spoiled and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place!

We spent a wonderful week in this charming and cozy house in Gabian. It's quiet, clean and fully equiped. We really enjoyed relaxing in the lovely courtyard with a glass of wine from the region, after a day of sigthseeing! Emily has been very helpful with the organisation of our trip, she adviced us where to rent a car and what to visit around. Everything was perfect, we would definitely return!
