A Great Relaxing Holiday
Review Submitted: July 17, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
We have just returned from the Maison Fargues and just wanted to let everyone know how much we enjoyed our stay.
The drive from Toulouse was hassle free, the roads are modern with very little traffic, journey time to the village of Reilhaguet was approx 1hr 30mins. Upon arrival we were met by Dave the caretaker, he was very friendly and showed us around. Dave said he was on hand to make our holiday easy, any questions, problems, just pick up the phone and he could help. This was brilliant to have this peace of mind, definately a service not offered by most places. The house is set in a sleepy village called Reilhaguet, its great for families or groups alike, very spacious and decorated in a traditional but modern French style.
The main living room/summer kitchen is great, it has a bar and a fridge behind there to stock all the cold beers! The large dining table can easily sit the largest of families however we found it better to eat outside most nights as the weather was so good. Another big table outside overlooking the pool, great for bbq's.
The grounds are very well set out and maintained, there is total privacy all the time even though there are a few houses located on the same road. Trees shade some of the drive which is good to park the car under.
The pool area is great, half wooden decking half stone.
This is great place to have breakfast and watch the sun come up in the morning, even take an early morning dip if your feeling brave! The pool does warm up though after the sun has been on it a few hours, trust me!
Le Vigan is about 10 mins by car and the larger town of Goudon is about 15 mins. You'll easily get settled in and find driving into town a breeze. There is a great restaurant we found in Le Vigan called 'Scuderia' great pizzas and very reasonibly priced too.
Gourdon has more to offer in the way of restaurants and bars, really pleasent little town and very clean. There is a big supermarket called 'Intermarche', it stocks absolutely everything, in our opinion this was the best place to get all the supplies.
On a evening we wined away the nights in Cafe Divan, you can't miss this one, right in the middle of the town, some evenings had entertainment into the small hours.
We had a superb holiday here and I'm sure you will do the same, perfect for a relaxing break with the added bonus of having your own pool, definately a better option than a package holiday. More sophisticated in everyway and in my opionion way better value for money.
