Secluded villa with large garden pool Overlooks beautiful picturesque village

Our villa 'La Lavande' sits on the edge of the unspoilt village of Soubes, which nestles in the foothills of the Cevennes 45 minutes from Montpellier and the coast. Perfect for family friendly holiday.
With 3/4 bedrooms, open-plan living area with log fire and extensive garden and fenced pool (8M x4M) it is an ideal location for a peaceful family holiday. The open log fire provides additional comfort for out of season holidays, as the area is ideal for trekking, e biking cycling and bird watching
There are many beautiful walks, and the village with its small shop and friendly cafe/restaurant only less than a mile walk or drive.
The beautiful fortified medieval village of Couvertoirade is 20 minutes away and the picturesque St Guillem le Desert is within easy reach.
The ancient town of Lodeve is 6km away with market, shops and restaurants.
3 Golf Courses nearby, closest at Beziers, then Cap d'Agde and Fontcaude.
Water sports are available at the Lac de Salagou with bathing or canoeing on the nearby Herault River. Try wine tasting at the numerous local vineyards. Alternatively, sit and relax in the sun by the pool or read a book in the shade of the garden and enjoy the stunning views.

Excellent!!!!!!

This villa is excellent. We stayed here for our honeymoon and found the villa, its amentities, its surroundings and the local area superb. The villa and its grounds have everything that you might need and are all finished to a very high standard. Whether its a break away from it all or to use as a base for exploring, this is the one for you.

A wonderful stay

Lovely property set in the almost unknown jewel of France, wonderful wildlife, terrific scenery, empty roads, what's not to like? Try some of the local caves for superb wines, if you like riding try EquiLarzac, simply great. Lots to do, more to see. We discover more each year. Great communication with hosts so thanks to them as well.

Beautiful home with breathtaking surroundings

We had a fantastic week in the villa! There was everything we could possibly need an more! The house was in a perfect condition, and comfortably fitted our group of friends, with ample space for playing in the pool, chilling next to it, playing boules, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and sheltering from the summer storm one evening! The town itself is a short, scenic walk away, with a lovely boulangerie and bar in the town square, and we even caught sight of a mountain biking competition! There are endless activities to do in the surrounding areas, with loads of leaflets and suggestions in the house. We loved paddleboarding, beach trips and visiting various local rivers. It was honestly the perfect holiday home, couldn't recommend it enough!

Séjour entre amis à Soubès

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans ce gîte spacieux et très bien équipé pour un groupe de 6 personnes. Beau jardin, jolie vue sur le village, piscine, nombreux jeux à disposition, ping-pong, terrain de pétanque...Seul bémol, la nationale qui passe dans le village est un peu bruyante à certaines heures. Région très sympa, nombreuses balades et visites à faire dans les environs.

Séjour en pleine nature

Location très agréable, avec tous les équipements nécessaires et de nombreuses activités entre la piscine, le ping-pong, les fléchettes... La nature est visible depuis l'ensemble des fenêtres de la maison ce qui est vraiment agréable. Idéalement située en voiture à 10mn de Lodève, petite ville avec de nombreuses commodités, à 15 mn du Lac de Salagou (un conseil passez par le Mas de Riri, cuisine délicieuse et cadre magnifique). Nous avons passé 2 superbes semaines.

Excellent villa in quiet French village

Second visit to this very family friendly villa. Set just outside the town of Soubes this is ideally situated to explore the region or just laze around the grounds. Swimming pool is a good size and depth for children (or adults) to play and swim. The villa itself is well presented with lots of space inside. Outside apart from the pool, we enjoyed several evening bbq's in the peaceful surroundings, several games of table tennis and the odd boule game. A car is a must as you are around an hour from the beaches of Le Grand Motte. Soubes itself has one pub/restaurant a short walk away but I recommend it for an evening meal with the locals! Lodeve, the nearest town is a 10 minute car drive but has an excellent supermarket for your holiday essentials as well as lovely restaurants. If you're looking for a family friendly, safe, away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life villa then this will tick your boxes. Added to this the great response and ease of communication with the owners...we will return!

Spacious, clean, well equipped, good location.

We love this property, away from it all yet not isolated and surrounded by wildlife. Lots to see and do with Sete plage just an hour away but with beautiful scenery on the doorstep, if you're into horses try Domain de Gaillac just up the road. It's a great house with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. Weather was good as well!

A great location near a old village with a wonderful shop and bar. Great views from the garden.

The property is well located an hours drive from Montpellier and a few miles off the motorway. The property itself is tired and in need of painting inside. The bathrooms too are in need of updating. We were initially disappointed that it was dated and items were broken- the parasol and a number of light bulbs. The house layout worked well and it was lovely and cool in the heat of the day. We loved the outside space: the pool, numerous seating areas, ping pong table and the views. The local village was delightful and we enjoyed walking from the villa in the surrounding countryside. A great base too to explore further afield. There is no shortage of things to do and we could have happily spent 2 weeks in the area. We would certainly return to the area. We felt that it was expensive for the dated interior of the property.

Tranquil setting in a comfortable villa

The villa is well equipped and in a secluded location. It is well placed to visit many of the local attractions that include medieval towns, gorges and local markets. The pool, boules pitch and table tennis table provide a welcome distraction from lazing on the sunbeds, reading, drinking local wines and eating cheese. The surrounding area, particularly to the north, contains some stunning scenery. We stayed for two weeks but this was not long enough to explore the area.

Excellent Villa in a Wonderful Setting

I had never heard of Soubès but was extremely pleased to discover this property which is located in beautiful countryside just outside the rather quaint village and quite close to Lodève, a nearby small market town. The region around Soubès/Lodève is unspoilt and largely agricultural, with many vinyards. A future visit must include a tasting or two! There are many charming family run restaurants in the area which offer exceptional value; indeed, it is difficult to understand how such good cuisine, leave alone wine, can be offered at such prices. The villa is well maintained and very comfortable. The pool is a particular bonus; at least it will be a little later in the year! I'm looking forward to a return visit later in the year, as and when the opportunity arises and would highly recommend it to others.

La Lavande, the perfect getaway!

La Lavande is the perfect getaway for those looking for peace, nature and French idyll. There are lots of places to visit nearby, especially for nature lovers. We enjoyed the perfectly planned gardens, with stunning views over the village Soubes, with plenty of space for social activities such as the large dining table and barbecue, swimming pool, petang, table tennis, as well as " rooms" for those looking for a quiet moment with a book with maybe a Ricard pastis. The house is very well designed and can accommodate many beds. We enjoyed our stay so much and our June week passed far too quickly.

A fantastic holiday!

This holiday was pure luxury. Could not have asked for a more relaxed and peaceful setting. The property has everything that you could possibly need from pots to half a dozen blow up lilos. The pool was kept crystal clean and the house is only a 15 minute walk from the centre of the village which allowed me to eat out and to buy the all important French baguettes for a great start to the morning. I would, without hesitation, recommend this to anybody looking to enjoy a weeks holiday in the South of France.

A superb villa in a wonderful part of France

This property was a real surprise, a wonderful little gem nestled in the hillside above a sleepy little village in the Herault. Fully equiped with everything we needed to make it a stay to remember, from the well equipped kitchen to the wonderfully comfortable sitting room to the cool welcoming pool with its array of loungers. A great jumping off point to explore this most secluded part of France with its amazing birdlife (Buzzards, Golden Aurioles and Vultures), great food and wonderfully friendly people, it's all there. Drive through the eye wateringly scenic gorges or laze the lunch hour (or two) away in a cafe and I guarantee that you will want to come back. Fully recommend to anyone
