Schönes Haus mit tollem Pool inmitten der Cevennen
Sehr schönes, altes Steinhaus mit einem wunderschönen Pool und toller Landschaft. Die Schlafzimmer des Hauses waren bei der Hitze leider schwer kühl zu halten, da die Fenster überwiegend sehr klein sind. Die vielen großzügigen Wohn- und Lesezimmer würden sich viel besser als Schlafzimmer eignen. Hier ist mehr Durchlüftung und Durchzug möglich und mehr Platz. Der Pool ist wirklich toll, inmitten eines großzügig angelegten, parkähnlichen Gartens. Ein stabiler, langer Tisch für alle Freunde und Familienmitglieder hat ein bisschen gefehlt, ansonsten ist das Haus sehr gut ausgestattet und bestückt. Empfehlenswert für Urlaub mit befreundeten Familien!

Lovely holiday
This is a fantastic - and huge - mas, well converted to a high standard throughout, with a well kept garden and a large pool. It is also well located, both for exploring the national parks and also for some sightseeing in Avignon / Nimes / Uzes etc, or just relaxing. We spent a great week here and could happily have stayed for much longer.

Amazing property - super hosts
We had a fabulous stay at this property, Steve and Gabrielle are wonderful hosts. The house is spacious and immaculately maintained and kept. The pool is a wonderful addition perfect for a dip on the hot days. Perfectly situated for cycling, hiking, kayaking plus some lovely villages and towns to visit close by. A great stay will certainly be back. Thank you

Spectacular Country Villa
I cannot say enough about this lovely country estate. It is such a large home that can house many people. There are 5 floors with many sitting areas 3 kitchens and 5 bathrooms. The gardens are lovely with a large beautiful pool. It is in a lovely little village with lots of great scenery when you drive to other villages in the area. We loved it so much we plan on going back sometime in the future. Very peaceful place to stay! Cannot say enough good things about it.

Why they chose this property

We have been looking to a second home in France for years. We love rural France - the culture, the cuisine, wine, country side and outdoor activities - and for us, Monoblet, the Gard and the Cevennes are the best of all. Mas de l'Aire was the most beautiful house and setting we had seen. No other home had a home rendered us speechless.

What makes this property unique

This is a home which lets us meet with family and friends around the world. We want other families and friends - spread around the globe like we are - to have an opportunity to meet and spend time together in comfort and in a magic corner of the world.
