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.
