Villas/Gites with shared pool - Gard - Languedoc - pref nearish Nimes?

[bossykate]

Would like something like this only in the Gard rather than Herault preferably near Nimes, Uzes or Aigues-en-Mortes (sp?).

Thanks in advance

St Apolis

sorry cocked up the link.

no idea myself but have used this website successfully in the past:
www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/

We went here this year and it was great for us although doesn't look as upmarket as your link.

It is a 2 bedroom private villa on a gated complex with shared pool just round the corner. It is quite small but well-maintained and only 2 minutes walk at my 3yo's pace into the walled part of Aigues-Mortes. And it cost us £900 for two weeks in the middle of August which I thought was quite reasonable.

thank you ska and bozza.

bozza, that is exactly the sort of thing - don't be deceived by the link, while i would wholeheartedly recommend saint apolis, upmarket it weren't!

was there any vegetation, trees, shade, grass etc? private terrace for bbq? tia

oh duh, i can see it on the garden photo.

looks great have emailed it to dh.

It was all very clean and well cared for. But the bedrooms were small. There was a small l-shaped garden at the back. Immediately out of the french doors there was a deck with a large round table and four chairs - we ate pretty much exclusively at that when we ate in because the indoor table was a bit wobbly and filled with the DC's crap toys. Then off the deck was a tiled patio with nicely planted borders, four sun loungers and a mahoosive brolly. You could generally get shade though with it being l-shaped. Not much in the way of trees though. The pool was around the corner (better in a way because quieter at siesta time), and nothing fancy just an elliptical pool with shallow steps at one "side" (can't work out how to word that bit).

It was really lovely though just to be able to wander into Aigues-Mortes in a morning for my baguette and croissants while DH was sorting out bowls of cereal. And then to be able to walk in as a family in the evening to dine.

Sorry for double post. I do love France though - but in the past we have been mainly doing Normandy and Brittany - so a bit of sunshine too was quite a bonus, especially this year.

thanks, bozza

any more? tia

Does it have to be shared
can recommend a lovely house

not necessarily. the advantage of shared is that ds and dd have other little monkeys to run round with.

ah but is the other side of the Rhone

I did know a lovely one in Vallabrix but that is not rented any more

oh yes true
I did see a lovely looking place when i was looking last year nr carpentras would that do

yes all suggestions very welcome thanks

ds and dd have other little monkeys to run round with...

...without us having to go on holiday with another family

Will find it on my pc at home tomorrow and post

thank you

Yes i will be...ahem..."working from home"

cd, surely you aren't actually working are you?

hoping some languedocienne experts are on line!
