Gérard and Nicole are wonderful hosts and were very welcoming and very kind to us during our stay. The cottage has all the essentials....from salt and pepper, oil and vinegar, coffee ( senseo pods or filter) kitchen paper and toilet roll. There was also a superb welcome pack in the fridge of drinks and food items including wine from their friends vineyard. Bed sheets and towels are also provided and we also had pool towels which helped us tremendously when travelling from Scotland to Nimes with Ryan air and their restricted baggage allowances. We had the most wonderful rest. We used the pool everyday. It isn't heated but at 23C, beginning to mid september, it was certainly warmer than the sea and the pool and surround got the sun all day which was around 26C to 28C. We also enjoyed to use the hot tub. There are two bistros in the village and a fantastic patisserie Maison Villaret plus a new looking lidl, a butcher, a baker and an intermarche supermarket all around 6 minutes drive from the cottage. From the cottage to Nimes centre to Les Halles parking was around 25 minutes by car. We also found a fantastic shopping centre just south of Nimes on the airport road with Decathlon and Esprit etc, the Centre commercial Carré Sud at 35 minutes by car and we found a lovely Saturday market in Sommières, a beautiful little town on a river about 30 mins drive from the cottage. We really had a super restful holiday, lazing around by the pool in lovely sunshine and being able to have a variety of things to see or visit in around 30 minutes drive. We definitely will return. Thank You Both Gérard and Nicole for such a lovely stay.
