Magnificent Gite with dominant view swimming pool and heated jacuzzi (L'Olivier)

Fantastic!

Everything was as hoped! The owners gave us a warm welcome, showed us around and explained how everything worked. Fortunately Christophe spoke excellent English! The gite was smart, clean, well-equipped, and had a private terrace with a magnificent view. We tried the fabulous pool.Staying in May, the water was quite invigorating but it will be brilliant for hot summer days! The jacuzzi good any day.

The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. We were pleased the television had many international stations and we were able to watch the news and play DVDs.

Unexpected highlights for our stay was the wonderful Sunday market at the nearby town of Calvisson and the lovely walks in and around the Voie Verte.

This is a beautiful home that will not disappoint. I describe it as a "home" because it truly has all of the comforts of home plus a view that words cannot describe. It also feels like home because of the kindness and helpfulness of Mr. and Ms. Gardon who treated us like family. Langlade is an idea location to explore all of of the surrounding quaint villages and historic sites. We are so happy that we stayed at this amazing spot!

Sehr gute Ausgangslage für Unternehmungen (Avignon, Pont du Gard, Aigues Mortes, Nimes...) Die Wohnung war komfortabel eingerichtet, sehr schöner Blick auf das Tal aus Essbereich und Terasse.

* we stayed from 8/8/15 for a week but I can't seem to add that date - The property is accurately described, the highlight being the pool and decked area. The pool and jacuzzi were a little cold to stay in for long but served well to cool off. The pool temperature would be my only slight complaint, that and the difficulty of getting into the jacuzzi (there aren't any steps and it's a bit of a climb for the less than athletic). The decked area is very relaxing with plenty of loungers, parasols and seating. There is also a covered area housing a gas BBQ and a separate toilet and shower. The pool lights up at night and the view across the valley and of the village is fantastic. We spent most of our time around the pool.

We travelled with friends so I got to see both properties as we rented them both between us. Gite Palm was in my opinion the nicer with a couple of patio doors and a four poster bed. This sleeps 4 with the double bed in the main and only bedroom and a double settee bed (although this is not a cheap bed but sturdy and comfortable) in the lounge. The kitchen is equipped with microwave, hob, coffee machines, juicer, dish washer and washing machine. Everything but an oven but the microwave has a grill, to summarise everything that you'd need.

Gite Olive was the bottom gite and has a main bedroom and double bed, bunk beds in an atrium area and a settee bed in the lounge. It's equipped as Palm. Both have air conditioning but only a single unit it Olive having to service the whole gite.

Monsieur Gardon was very helpful before we arrived and quickly responded to any emails. Having met us he was however on holiday for the week but left help in the way of Michael.

Langlade is a lovely French village but only has the one restaurant within walking distance, this was closed during our visit as the owners were also on holiday. Others could be found within a short drive (Sommieres is nice).

All in all we had a great stay and would recommend to a friend. I think it helped that Monsieur Gardon was away as we didn't have to be conscious of the noise the kids were making in the pool, having not travelled like this before I'm not sure what I would have made of it if they were about. We met both Monsieur Gardon and his wife who were very friendly and clearly proud of the beautiful property so I think everything would have been as good had they have been there.
