Be careful!
Overall, villa itself and especially outdoors area are nice and met our expectations. Heated swimming pool was especially useful and it was warm enough for kids to spend as much time in the water as they wanted.
The stay was, however, not without issues. When we arrived villa was not very clean. It was dusty and not thoroughly cleaned. Instead of a gas grill which can be seen in the photos, there was only plancha and small charcoal grill which made cooking for 17 people quite tricky. We did, however, make no issues out of it, which, in hindsight, we should have done. At the end of the stay we got blamed and charged for couple of things we did not break – the pull-out bed and pool cover clippers. We even got charged for the extra cleaning even though we left villa in the usual standard of cleanliness (with all the dishes done, etc). We stayed many times in French, Italian and Spanish villas and never experienced such issues. Again, in hindsight, we should have reported any breakage we found to the owner but you don‘t want to spend beginning of your holidays doing full inventory of the villa. The owner of the villa is not present at site and is not very responsive to the requests (eg for the preparation of rooms, restaurant recommendations). Local guy looking after the villa was not particularly pleasant or fair especially at the end of our stay. It feels like he uses every opportunity to earn a bit of a cash on the side. We tried to reason with the owner – but reasoning is difficult when the owner has the deposit you paid and has no way of checking things. All in all, good villa but not the best experience.

Idyllic, luxurious getaway in beautiful location
Sixteen members of my family stayed here for a week in July 2019 - 8 kids and 8 adults - and we had the most wonderful time. The house is perfect - beautiful, spacious, comfortable - and the exterior, with the pool, pool house and dining area, just wonderful. We barely felt the need to leave although our day trips to Uzes and Pont du Gard were spectacular. It's a lovely secluded location, peaceful and bucolic. I can't recommend it highly enough. Many thanks to the owner and the helpful manager for making our stay so great.

A beautiful welcoming holiday home for all the family
This spacious characterful house and extensive grounds with a fanatstic pool (and pool house) gave 13 members of our family, aged from 2 to 67 the most wonderful and memorable holiday. The heat ( up to 36C) meant that the pool was favourite, hotly (yep) followed by the huge trampoline and, for some, the telescope and the night sky, where we saw the moons of Jupiter and rings of Saturn for the first time. There was space for everyone to spread out as well as communal areas for us to gather for meals, inside and out. The biting insects were the only downside but we realise that comes with the territory. It was the perfect place to celebrate the various birthdays and anniversaries that fell during our holiday and we would all love to return. We variously enjoyed visiting Nimes, Uzes, local villages, the Pont du Gard, the Forest Park and the Water Park but the star of this holiday was Mas des Gardies.

Just Perfect
This was a family holiday for 16. It was a fabulous place to meet and share time together.
The house was more than we could have hoped for, it lacked for nothing. The salt water swimming pool was also a great hit with the children ( and some of the bigger children !!! )
A very friendly & helpful caretaker ( sorry, his name escapes me)visited us daily. He was also great.
We would all love to return. Thank you

Lovely villa in a pleasant, quiet rural setting, with extensive well kept gardens,and a large pool.
We are a large extended family of 10 adults and 9 children aged 4 to 11 years.
We have holidayed together annually in the south of France for the last 10 years
We were absolutely delighted with the villa and its facilities. The brochure description and details were accurate and the villa really clean and tidy when we arrived.
The house is simply but generously furnished and the kitchen well equipped.
The outside table seated us all comfortably and is well shaded - we never needed to use the large one indoors!
The saline pool is well designed with a shallow rim around the edge, and useful roman steps and is reassuringly in view from the house. We all loved it. There's plenty of shade from trees nearby.
The children were spoiled for choice with the large selection of outdoor activities, as well as the huge toy/games cupboard inside and selection of DVDs.
The calls of the Golden Orioles were a delight most mornings, though they are remarkably adept at hiding - brief glimpses only.
Guy was a great help and always available if needed.
The surrounding area is lovely, and much quieter than Provence. Uzes is a gem. We hardly started to explore the Cevennes.
We would love to return.

Large and lovely house in a really peaceful location
The house was great for a large family group and the pool was really good, especially after heating had been newly installed part way through our holiday. The house was set in extensive grounds with many wild flowers and some exotic bird life. We particularly liked the open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area with dividing counter top, which was both practical and sociable for larger groups. The fridge/freezer was brand new and having two dish washers was very useful. The bedrooms we used (5 out of 8) were generally well furnished, though the pool house bedroom was lacking hanging space.
The whole ambience of the place was very peaceful and lent itself to just chilling out around the house, pool or gardens.
We did get out and about and it was great to be close to places like Nimes with its roman amphitheatre and the amazing Pont de Gard, as well as the Carmargue region for its wildlife. We would return to Mas des Gardies again if we came back to the region.

Not quite according to the photos
A fabulous pool, nice surroundings and a very helpful owner who was really quick to respond to any question we had.
However, there were quite some mishaps during our week. In the description it is stated there is aircondition. This was the worst air conditioner we have ever seen. This needs to be hung out through a window and is extremely noisy and is not doing its job, i.e to cool down the room. We couldn’t get the temperature lower than 24 degrees Celsius and with feverish old parents this was a nightmare.
Furthermore, the house is old and not well looked after. Cabinet doors in the kitchen are hanging very loosely and we had several electrical short cuts which made fridges and freezers (and washing machines) stop. To sort this out we needed to call the neighbor many times which was a bit disturbing.
Finally, since we are a family who loves to cook and was looking forward to using the grill in the garden it was rather irritating to have to clean it or pay 200 euros to have it cleaned. We left it in a perfectly clean condition but felt this should be included in the somewhat hefty price for this house.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay but would hesitate to recommend this house to people we know.
