House / Villa - Olargues

Great location, beautiful setting, well appointed and perfect for our stay.

The house is in a stunning location, easy walk into Olargues. Wonderfully friendly village.Communication from the owners was fantastic and they solved every little problem! Spotlessly clean. Beautiful terrace and pool - views outstanding.Highly recommend - a beautiful place and loads to do in the local area! Thank you!

A great house in a super location. Fantastic communication as well.

We stayed as a family of 6 (adults and teenagers) to celebrate a special birthday and to revisit the area. The treelined house is located just off the centre of Olargues and is within walking distance of the local grocers, butchers and bakers. The town is known for its art and there are a number of artist studios and craft shops to visit.The town is riverside and Frejo warerfall is within easy walking/biking distance on the voie verte cycle path. The house is much more spacious than the photos suggest as mentioned by another guest. It was helpful to have 3 bathroom spaces. The kitchen is well provisioned and the bedrooms have hanging and shelf space. The lounge is very comfortable and the owners have supplied a DVD player by way of Freebox multimedia console. Able to watch Netflix and a multitude of channels which was great for movie nights. Pool was a good size with shallow area and loungers. The view from the pool area and terrace is stunning. Very private and accessible at the same time. Would recommend for families and small groups wishing to be central to the Orb area and have the benefit of river beaches and bike trails on your doorstep. The owners were very helpful in providing local information and helping with queries. Overall a very enjoyable summer holiday location.

We had the most wonderful holiday at the property. The property is on one side of the valley opposite the village of Olargues. We would swim every morning in the pool and have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the village and the surrounding mountains. We felt very welcome and comfortable in the property. We especially enjoyed sleeping in the mezzanine bedroom with lovely views in the morning. It was very airy and cool, and the bed was very comfortable. We also enjoyed trying to work out the code of the church bells! The village has several small shops, including a boulangerie, butcher, and general store. One evening, we walked to the local pizza place and had fresh pizza for supper, perfect for staying local. There are many activities nearby, from hiking to cycling and canoeing. We hired bikes from the nearby garage in Mons -la-Trivalle, a few minutes' drive away and spent the day cycling the Voie Verte. The trail is open year-round, and the scenery is beautiful. Walking the Gorges d'Heric was a wonderful surprise. The white-water canoeing down the River Orb was exhilarating! We visited Carcassonne, Béziers, and Montpellier. We have fallen in love with Olargues and the surrounding area and look forward to returning. Thank you to our hosts for sharing this wonderful home.

We had a great week! The property was perfect for a family of 4 - peaceful with a gorgeous view and pool. Easy walk into Orlagues for groceries, boulangerie etc. and fab pizzas from the town’s pizzeria. We hired e-bikes from Velo Riques in the town and had a brilliant day of traffic-free cycling on the Voie Vert. Also visited Carcassone which is approx 90 mins away by car. Lovely hosts who kindly let us check in slightly earlier after an early landing in Montpellier airport. Thank you!

We loved our week here. The house is well equipped with plenty of fans available for the unusually high temperatures we experienced (39 in the shade) and the pool was very much appreciated. We ate on the shady terrace for every meal and it was lovely to watch butterflies and an occasional gecko enjoying the flowers and sunshine. The village is a short (steep) walk away with beautiful views along the way. Cyclists can use the cycle path that is accessible from the village and the village has a small grocery shop, butcher, bakery and a couple of bars/restaurants. Thank you to Lou for meeting us and answering questions about the house and the area.

The property is on one side of the valley opposite the medieval buildings of Olargues. The View from the property is amazing of the village and the surrounding mountains. The village has a number of small shops and restaurants that were perfect for staying local. There are a number of activities nearby from hiking to cycling to river rafting. The pool in the property was very large perfect for swimming although it should be mentioned some parts were deep and therefore there was a noticeable difference between outside and pool temperature. The terrace with bbq and table was well shaded and provided comfort during the hot days and nights Overall a wonderful property and one of the best we have stayed at over the years.

A really lovely, relaxed and comfortable house in a really beautiful part of the Haut Languedoc. But it was the shaded terrace and sparkling pool that were the real stars. I wish I had booked two weeks instead of one. The house is larger than it looks on the photos and comfortable sleeps 6, although the 3rd mezzanine bedroom means it probably works better for families or close friends. The town of Olargues is really charming and only 5 minutes walk to a good bakery, butcher and some nice épiceries plus a good selection of restaurants. It was a lovely weeks stay.
