This beautiful old 'Mas' has been lovingly restored and extended with great taste and panache to the highest of standards.
It stands by itself in the middle of the vineyards within 2 hectares of private walled grounds in a park with mature shady trees; perfect for lovers of tranquillity and luxury.
The bustle of Mediterranean beaches is only 8 kms away and the picturesque village of Cers is just 4 kms down the road.
No expense has been spared by the owners to recreate some of the original features like the wood plaster ceiling 'a la francaise' or the splendid French billiard table as well as a magnificent marble giant chess set in the garden.
Clients' comments
You will remember, we spent a week in Mme Gaston’s house Mas de Garrigues ref H40, end of July this year. I just wanted to thank you and tell you that we had a wonderful time in this villa in Cers. My friends, for whom renting a villa in Europe was a totally new experience, were amazed how smooth everything went. The villa was great, the interior was fantastic, the service was exceptional, and Meeting Mme Gaston was quite enjoyable even though our French was a bit rusty. Jasmine, USA, July 2007
Just returned from 5 weeks in Europe--having spent the first week at Mas des Garrigues in Languedoc(H40). Couldn't have been more delighted! The property, inside and out, is even more beautiful than the pictures on your website suggest. We had a wonderful and relaxing time there. And thank you for your efficient handling of our reservation. We will return to this property! September 2006
Just a short note to thank you for putting us in touch with the wonderful Mas de Garrigues in Cers. It is a really beautiful villa and it gave us all the privacy we were looking for. It was sad that the weather was so bad during our stay but we still had an enjoyable holiday. Josie Mahon, Ireland, 2006 |

All on one level apart from the upstairs bedroom and shower room and the billiard room which is 4 steps down from entry hall.
Quite a small but very well equipped kitchen off the entry hall. The kitchen communicates with the large dining room and leads out on to the large shady terrace (100m2).
A spacious open-plan dining-living room with a wood and plaster ceiling a l'ancienne and French windows leading out to the terrace has been decorated with great taste. The living room leads through to a smaller sitting/reading room with more easy chairs and a sofa.
Off the hallway 4 steps lead down to the splendidly restored billiard room with a newly refurbished French billiard table (no pockets). A comfortable sofa and easy chairs make it into a pleasant third sitting room.
Ground Floor - Three bedrooms
The master bedroom has a 140cm double bed and a child's single bed. It has windows opening out into the garden and a beautiful mural.
The other two bedrooms have standard-size double beds.
The shower room next to the master bedroom has beautiful warm coloured walls, hand plastered with chalk (an old 18th century technique).
There is an independent wc and then a second downstairs shower room with shower, wash hand basin and wc is next to the sitting room.

The large garden of about 2 hectares is the property's outstanding feature offering complete privacy and seclusion - it has mature shady trees, a big well tended lawn by the pool for relaxing and playing ball games and a full size marble chess game!
An attractive drive way up to the house is lined with pines and flowering oleander. The 100m2 terrace which runs all along the side of the house is shaded by a stunning pagoda with canvas awning and wysteria.
Pretty garden furniture strategically placed allows many secluded spots for relaxation and dining al fresco.
The pool (8 x 4 m safety alarm system) with shallow steps, excellent for young children is 1.3m at shallow end and 1.7 deep end. There is a large paved terrace with plentiful chaises longues for sun-bathing.
There is a large portable BBQ next to the olive press.
Round the back there is a covered parking space for two cars, a small fountain. |
