We have stayed with great pleasure two weeks in gite L'Olivier. Of course we read in reviews about the difficult and steep road to the villa but with some rest it turned out to be no problem at all. The flat was fine and fully equipped. The bed took some getting used to, from 180 cm wide at home to barely 140 cm but a problem? No! Because the villa has only two flats, in addition to the main tenant, a relaxed atmosphere is guaranteed. We really appreciated the peace and quiet that the villa offered us. The pool is fantastic and the view unique. Despite all the positive findings, there is one important point of attention. We had two weeks with plenty of sun and 29 to 33 degrees every day. But at the same time we had the misfortune that many of those days there was also a strong wind. Nice when it was that hot, but because of that it was not an option to open the parasols at the swimming pool or near the flat. Because the villa and L'Olivier do not offer any shade anywhere else, that is a serious disadvantage. Not being able to get out of the sun in that kind of sunny and warm weather is actually not healthy either. By the way, we often went out from Langlade. To the Camarque (2×), Arles, Nimes, Uzès, Pont du Gard, Aigues Mortes, Le Baux de Provence and a ride with an old steam locomotive through the Cervennes from Anduze. In short, we really enjoyed two weeks. Thank you Christophe on behalf of Harrie and Ineke.

Mr Gardon was very helpful and answered all our emails and questions prompt and in English . On arrival he was extremely welcoming, supplied us with places to visit and arranged for us to visit a local Chateau for a tasting, well worth the walk. Property is very well located, lots of places to visit within easy reach...a supermarket within 5 drive and a bakers a short walk down the hill...and back up again, but warm croissants were worth it. The inside has been tastefully decorated and its light, airy interior is very homely and inviting. It has a fully equiped kitched with many appliances including, a much appreciated, proper fridge/freezer. Modern bathroom and a good sized bedroom, with King bed, also plenty of storage. The private balcony is great for enjoying meals with a great ever changing view. The pool, hot tub and sun lounge area has the most amazing views. We enjoyed many days in the hot tub studying it. The pool is cool and refreshing on warm/hot days. Many details have been carefully thought out, as up there is a gas BBQ, bathroom and a toilet. It is really hard to find a fault with our experience. So hope that anyone reading this will enjoy if you decide to visit. June & Keith, England Oct 2019

Fantastic!

We stayed a week in each gite, so are able to review both and compare. Gites Palmier and Olivier each have their particular advantages, but the overall rating is a straight 5-star for both. They are attached to the main house, on the edge of the village. Olivier is at ground level while Palmier is a floor above, next to the living area of the main house. As Olivier is set forward, there is no one above and it is the quieter of the two. You can hear occasional noise from the house in Palmier. The situation up on a hillside gives great views across the plain to the Cevennes hills in the distance. As the horizon is low, you get the sun all the way through the evening- there is no dipping behind hills at teatime. The views from Olivier are good; from Palmier simply glorious. Both gites are very well equipped. Olivier’s furnishings appear newer. The standard of furnishing is high. The beds are unusually comfortable with excellent mattresses. Aircon and shower were fine. Wi-Fi, TV etc. all good. Both gites were spotless. Olivier downstairs is quieter, further from the main house, newer and a little better equipped. Palmier is lighter (the living room area has windows on three sides, two of which are full sliding patio doors) with better views. I preferred its terrace as well. The pool area is great- jacuzzi, solarium, barbecue- all well thought out and designed. The owners were charming, friendly and helpful, very promptly helping with odd problems such as us not being able to figure out how to operate the touch controls on the (very new) hob. Langlade is a pleasant village with an old centre and newer developments around the edge. You can walk around the wooded hills surrounding it. There is a boulangerie in the centre and two supermarkets about three minutes’ drive away on the edge. There’s a big new Casino supermarket, but the smaller and less impressive-looking Dia is closer, better stocked, friendlier and busier. Langlade is well placed for visiting the surrounding area. The motorway is ten minutes away on the edge of Nimes, provided you avoid peak times. We also found that by driving south out of Langlade and getting onto the D135 enabled us to drive on quieter roads. These are excellent places to stay and fully merit the 5 stars. Highly recommended.
