Idyllic!

We stayed at The Retreat last year (07) and were so impressed that we just had to book again on return and returned this summer(08).
It completely out-weighed all of our expectations! What more could you ask for than sitting out on the terrace, day or night, with family, friends, and a glass or two of wine, over-looking the stunning countryside without a care in the world? The Retreat offers you this and so much more.
The description was very accurate with regards to the location, and facilities at the house. The owners had thought of everything you could think of, with plenty of reading matter, DVDs and games for the children .It was soptless inside and because alot of the furniture was pretty modern and white, it made the house feel bright and airey.
Most days we spent by the pool, having twin 6yr old girls, that's all they wanted to do. But it was perfect! Very peaceful and relaxing. My parents and brother used to go off sight-seeing most days and visited some amazing places. All within a short drive. Both years we hired canoes and paddled down the Gard river, passing under The Pont Du Gard viaduct- a sight not to be missed. And we also we ate out day and night in Uzes, again, a must to visit, particularly at night when the square is lit up and the atmosphere is exciting.
The bar/restaurant in the local village served good value, tastey food and catered very well for children. Definitely worth a visit too.
Would I recommend The Retreat to others? Without a shadow of a doubt!
