Le Chêne - stylish, family friendly gite with heated pool, playground and terraces

Le Chêne is south facing gite overlooking our large stone terrace with stunning, far reaching views of the mountains. On some days you can see the snow capped Pyrenees. The cosy gite has a log burner and electric heating to suit your needs and keep you warm if you stay in the cooler months. We have retained the original roof beams (circa 300 years old) giving this gite a traditional feel yet there all the modern comforts of a new home. Downstairs there is an open plan living area with seating and dining space for four. A newly fitted kitchen includes washing machine, gas hob, microwave, fridge freezer and plenty of cupboard space. Upstairs there are two separate bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two single beds. There are baby / toddler stair gates, high chair and travel cots available. All rooms have south facing windows and there is satellite TV.

The gite as it's own outdoor terrace with sofa and table and chairs for four people with beautiful valley views and large stone communal BBQ. There is a lovely big heated pool, security fencing and washing / toilet facilities, an adventure playground, tree platform and play pond. There are three other gites on site as well as our family home.

The whole farmhouse and land has a magical, tranquil atmosphere. In the evening the building, terraces and drive are lit up to create an ethereal ambiance allowing guests to enjoy the atmosphere in to the night. We have many children's toys, instruments and costumes - children often make friends and entertain their parents with shows on the main terrace. We try to do a film soiree once a week on the main terrace for all the families. Les Coumayres is a sociable place for guests - children can be free and creative in a safe environment, surrounded by nature. There are many tracks and gardens to explore the wonderful countryside. The weather in summer is usually sunny and comfortably warm, unlike the coast which can be too hot.

Nearby there are lakes with water sports, zip lining, kayaking, canyoning, medieval villages, open air markets, local fetes, stunning countryside to explore including gorgeous and waterfalls.

Magical views
We stayed in one of the gites. The surroundings are stunning- distant views across the Herault in a wonderfully renovated building. Autumn chestnuts all around and calm surrounds. About 15 mins drive from pretty Olargues. Le Chene backs on to another gite and when this was occupied, we could hear everything they were doing. (We had to wait for our neighbours to hit the hay before we could too.) This is an ideal place for a big group who can live happily side by side across the gites. The grounds are beautiful and the whole place is simply beautiful. Graham is a wonderful owner and host who clearly loves his home. He was generous with his time, uncovering the pool for an October dip and showing us his amazing work in the buildings. Lovely place for a rest with family and friends.
