My two year old daughter and I loved it.

This is the perfect place for a rural French holiday. The barn itself had a massive living area and was very clean and tastefully decorated. There was a basket of toys and books for my daughter, which kept her happy. She loved the swimming pool which had a slide and loads of inflatables for her to play with. I loved the scenery, which was just beautiful. The owners were more than accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

A wonderful holiday.

I went on a holiday to 'the barn' in Bel-Air with my two sisters and 2 year old niece after it had been recommended by a friend. We had the most wonderful holiday. The photos do not do the barn or surrounding area justice. The barn is spacious, comfortable, clean, well decorated and furnished with wonderful views and outdoor space. The owners, Jo and Eti, could not have made us feel more welcome and the small touches such as fresh bread and delicious home made apricot jam in the kitchen on our arrival made the stay even more enjoyable. If you don't want to spend your day lying by the pool surrounded by lavender and spectacular views then there is also lots to enjoy in the nearby area which Jo and Eti were more than happy to advise us on. One of the highlights was eating fresh seafood while listening to local music and drinking local wine in the nearby village. My niece also had a great time and the 4 of us want to make this an annual trip. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it!

French Countryside Relaxation

Review Submitted: April 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
I had an amazing time staying in the barn. It has all the features you need - comfortable bedrooms, plenty of space with nice furniture, a large kitchen, and several other amenities. You can't ask for a prettier location, as it's surrounded by vineyards and farms with views of the hills and countryside. Not to mention it's a short drive to many markets and charming French towns, and less than an hour from the beach. The owners are lovely people and extremely accommodating. They were very respectful of our privacy and were open to any questions we had. The property is spatious. I spent many hours quietly relaxing by the large pool or on the patio and didn't even leave the property certain days. I would definitely go back!

Family Holiday

Review Submitted: April 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Wanted to go somewhere to escape from the London hustle and bustle. A friend recommended Bel-Air for my family to go for a child freindly place to holiday in.
It was perfect. Lovely surroundings, beautiful bike rides and daily barbeques, lazing by the pool with the kids thrilled with the choice of inflatables!!
The local markets and cafes are great for a spot of retail therapy too.
Can't wait to go back this summer!!

IDYLLIC

Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
IDYLLIC .. Place to relax and/ or immerse yourself into the local way of life. Easily found with SatNav from Nimes - approx 1 hour away. It was the perfect balance for a holiday home, removed from the towns but still accessible quickly for wonderful markets, local restaurants wished but also self contained for a chilled out hol's if prefered. I liked the simple comfortable interior, which had good privacy from the owners house, who seemed invisible .. it became a good game to try to spot them around!! We spent much time sipping wine at the pool and watching sunsets - BLISS.

Glorious Stay

Em in New York New York, New York
Review Submitted: March 27, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
We had a wonderful stay at the barn - old world charm with all the modern amenities you would possibly need, truly the best of both worlds! The owners are absolutely lovely and had plenty of helpful advice. The location is a perfect launching off point for markets, restaurants, gorgeous Mediterranean beaches and general exploring. The barn is situated on a peaceful road surrounded by farms and vineyards - perfect for a morning run or a bike ride. The pool is large and quite private (surrounded by the scent of fresh lavender) - there was no problem sharing it with the owners. We spent many nights out on the patio drinking wine and cooking up delicious meals with fresh veggies from the owners' garden. Paradise!

wonderful, spacious and relaxing place to stay.

Review Submitted: March 27, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
Our stay here was delightful, the Anglo/ French owners could not have been more helpful and friendly. The pictures really do not do justice to a terrific renovation with bags of space that could easy have fitted more people.

It has an excellent kitchen and a living area generously equipped with a pleasant mix of modern and antique furniture. Bedrooms were large and had excellent en-suite bathrooms, Beds were all new and very comfortable.

Plenty of space outside as well, with a lovely big pool with panoramic views across the local vineyards to the surrounding hills.
This really is a wonderful, spacious and relaxing place to stay.
The owners eggs and vegetables are terrific too!
