About this property

The Mazet family in the garden

A stone mazet overlooking the garden. In the bedroom, two beds, a table, a chest of drawers, a cot that can accommodate a baby up to 3 years old.
We heat ourselves with a wood stove in winter. The bedside lamps are rechargeable in the common room.

The kitchen is located in a second mazet overlooking the awning for eating outside. In winter, it is heated with an oil stove.

The bathroom is in a third mazet also accessible from the garden. Heating: electric towel rail.

The three mazets at your disposal are private.

A large vaulted room is available in the main house (facing the mazet) with a large table, a billiards, a library and a piano. You can connect to the wi-fi and recharge your devices; you can eat there when it is too hot outside. Wood stove in winter.
This room regularly hosts shows, conferences, various meetings; it is adjacent to a sculpture workshop that regularly welcomes students.

Rustic, bohemian, warm atmosphere... You may come across a local who has come to hang out his laundry or work in the vegetable garden. The main house is made up of four apartments, all of which are inhabited.
2 sun loungers are available in the garden.
The communal washing machine is located in the garage.

All amenities are within walking distance, including markets (Tuesday and Friday) and restaurants.
St Hippolyte du Fort is a small town of 4000 inhabitants, peaceful and friendly, located equidistant from Nimes and Montpellier (about 50 km), and served by a bus network.

The property was arranged in a friendly and functional way. Everything that was needed was available, kitchen, bathroom with shower, towels, easy access to city. The setting is as authentic to southern inland France as you can get. The heat of the day was kept out with proper closing and opening of the windows. The bedroom was cool even on a 35 degree day. All the rooms also had heat for the winter, small wood stoves or a fireplace. This property was one of the most enjoyable places I have ever stayed. Isabelle was a wonderful host and provided everything a traveler would need. Highly recommend for a precious authentic stay.
