We arrived at Mas du Serre and thought 'wow!' The gite was in a stunning location and was only a 15 minute walk from small village with small but well-stocked supermarket, a great bar, boulangerie/patisserie, La Poste, and even a mini outdoor market on Sunday. The gite was very clean and well-maintained. Best 'welcome basket' we've had. Bed was very comfortable. A large range of books to choose from. Plenty of space in the bathroom. There were gorgeous views from front and back of the gite over the mountains. Plenty of outdoor space and shade, with outdoor tables, chairs and loungers. There was a garage attached for hanging wet clothing. Bikes were available. The pool was crystal clear, with lots of space around the pool for lazing. Great pool house with pizza oven and small kitchen area. The owners, Dave and Linda, were very considerate, and we felt free to ask them anything at any time. Their 'green folder' had lots of information in it. The drives along the mountain roads were stunning. The walk up the gorges of L'Heric on a wide concrete path was not at all scary and the gorges were magnificent. River swimming and kayaking just a short drive from the gite. Although there are a number of restaurants within a few miles of the gite, we only went out for an evening meal once to the most expensive one, which we thoroughly enjoyed but thought was a bit over-priced. It only took cash as well, so keep enough cash back to pay if you go! We would thoroughly recommend Mas du Serre to friends and family. Great gite, great location, great owners.
