Romantique maison de trois chambres dans le sud de la France nichée dans un village historique

A lovely home in a medieval village, with a charming private courtyard. The house is fabulous - beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished on all three levels. It is very well equipped with everything you need for a home from home. The location is fantastic with many wonderful places within easy reach by car - Pezanas, Beziers, St Guilhem le Desert, Narbonne, Carcasonne and many more. Our host, Emilie, provided great suggestions of places to visit included in the very comprehensive house guide. Gabbian is small with a friendly pub that offers live music once a week, which is great fun! While it has a Boulangerie, Pharmacy, an Epicerie and a small weekly fruit and veg market every Weds, just 10mins away is Roujon which offers much more including a great supermarket and other bars/shops. Beautiful Pezanas is only 20mins away by car with plenty of car parking and a fantastic street market on Saturdays. While parking at the property is not possible, we were always able to park somewhere within 300m in the village, so not too far for cases. We absolutely recommend this property.

We enjoyed 11 days in Gabian with our 3 teenagers, exploring the area with our bikes and enjoying tasty food in a variety of good restaurants in the area. Gabian is a wonderfully calm and friendly little village, perfectly situated to explore both, mountains and beaches and to start daytrips by car to farther away points of interest in the Langedoc. We clearly recommend the house for families with a little more grown up children who no longer require permanent surveillance due to the construction of the house.

The property was excellent, really well furnished and modernised with plenty of hot water and a nice kitchen. As mentioned by the owner, steep stairs and location at the top of a hill mean this isn't ideal for those with infirm relatives or toddlers. The village of Gabian is friendly but very quiet, with a small convenience store and a small bar/cafe for locals, with mainly elderly residents. There are plenty of nice restaurants within a short drive. Access to the property could be an issue; I made the mistake of driving my hired estate car to the door to unload our bags at the start of the week, and managed to scrape the wing mirror - very narrow, steep and winding streets leading up to the house. Better to park in the nearby car park and transfer luggage on foot if driving a large vehicle. The location is excellent with young children; we visited beaches, a lake, dinosaur park and aquarium over the week which was great fun.

We booked the house for our family for Christmas and new year and were absolutely delighted! On arrival the house was toasty warm and thoroughly inviting. The house oozes old-world charm and is comfortable in every way with excellent facilities and everything to ensure comfort and a great stay. Whilst the family spent much of their time with us, they felt very much at home here and it was, at times, hard to drag them out! I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a charming hideaway in a delightful French village!

We had the most wonderful time in Gabian at this beautiful home. By the end of the first morning it already felt like our home away from home and we can't wait to go back. We had never been to the region in the Winter and were nervous about whether we would feel isolated or if the weather would impact our stay, and I can honestly say that it was perfect. So peaceful to walk among the naked vines, and discover roads without all the traffic of the Summer crowds, and unbelievably relaxing to drink wine and read by the fire, and there were board games available for us to play after dinner. The only addition I proposed is that they provide puzzles as well! If you are looking for a place to unwind and simply get away from it all, we couldn't recommend this place more.

The house was a perfect place for me and my wife to relax and rejuvenate in a peaceful environment. This gorgeous house has every amenity you would need and the location is perfect for day trips in the region and for tasting amazing wine. We felt really spoiled and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

Emilie was a gracious and lovely host who provided us with tips for all the wonderful visits and hikes in the area. We were able to relax and enjoy the peaceful south-of-france ambiance both inside and outside of the home. Wine-tasting in nearby Fougères, lake-swimming and hikes in Gorges d'Heric before coming home to taste new wines in our cozy cottage made this a holiday I hope to do all over again. Great for romantic getaway or family trip; we found it to be both at the same time!

We spent a wonderful week in this charming and cozy house in Gabian. It's quiet, clean and fully equiped. We really enjoyed relaxing in the lovely courtyard with a glass of wine from the region, after a day of sigthseeing! Emily has been very helpful with the organisation of our trip, she adviced us where to rent a car and what to visit around. Everything was perfect, we would definitely return!
