About this property

Beautiful base for walking, swimming and relaxing

La Casèla is a 17th century stone house which we refurbished for our family in 2002-3 and to which we return each year. It is set on the edge of a friendly, small hamlet (Mons) which nestles on the side of Mont Caroux. The scenery is beautiful - vineyards line the valley, chestnut forest flanks the slopes which rise to the heather-covered mountain top. The house is perfect for exploring the area on foot, or as a base to enjoy swimming in nearby rivers and gorges, canoeing, riding, cycling on the long distance cycle path along the valley or mountain biking for the more adventurous, or venturing further afield to the beach or wine-tasting tours.

The house is very comfortable inside: the bedrooms and bathroom are light and pretty and the kitchen is very well equipped. The living room is spacious with a smart TV, sofa and chairs for relaxing and a wood burning stove for colder times. There is plenty of outside space for sunbathing and relaxing - either on the terraces or in the garden.

Mons La Trivalle is a small community in the Hérault. The ancient part of the village is called Mons and it is located very close (1km) to the beautiful Gorges d'Heric. This is where our house, La Casèla, is located and there is a lovely footpath straight from the house through chestnut woods to the Gorges, where you can swim, rock climb or hike. The environment is very tranquil and the perfect location for a family holiday. At the bottom of the valley (5 minute walk) is La Trivalle, where you find a bar, baker, grocery shop and restaurant. There is also a long distance, traffic-free cycle route through the village extending for 30km in either direction.

The river Orb runs through the bottom of the valley and provides wonderful opportunities for canoeing, swimming and sunbathing.

All in all the house is a great location for anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with good access to outdoor activities. In addition, the house is very comfortable and if you don't fancy going out at all, the terraces and garden provide the perfect location for reading and relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Alex MacGillivray

Host profile image
We restored La Casela to become a beautiful family home while living in France. We are now back in the UK but visit often and would welcome sharing our home with you.

Why they chose this property

I have always loved this area - previously we owned a small house near Bedarieux where we spent our holidays, but we always found ourselves driving to Mons to swim, walk, eat, etc. So when the chance came to restore the derelict La Casela, we jumped at it!

What makes this property unique

The house is in lovely quiet setting, with direct access by foot (or car if you prefer) to the beautiful Gorges d'Heric for walking and swimming.
