Wonderful!

A wonderful location - felt like sitting in the mountains. Locally, there were some great walks, spectacular vistas and interesting excursions. Fab river swimming nearby too. View from terrace was amazing and house had everything we needed. It was quite remote, making it very quiet and peaceful - bliss! Joëlle and Patrick were super welcoming, kind and friendly. We loved it!

Un bout de paradis

Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve à la Combe. La maison est très agréable et la vue est à couper le souffle. Les hôtes sont charmants et très disponibles. Le site est très riche en randonnées et sites à visiter et ne pas oublier les baignades dans la rivière. Nous recommandons vivement cette location!

Très bel hébergement rustique, authentique et très confortable dans un cadre majestueux

Dans un petit hameau au bout du monde, paisible et avec une vue imprenable sur les collines alentours, nous pouvions partir randonner au départ de notre logement. Nous avons adoré le site du cirque de Navacelles à quelques kms, Le coin est idéal pour les amoureux de nature et de paysages exceptionnels. Et tous les commerces utiles sont seulement à quelques minutes du logement. Très pratique !

About the host

Hosted by Joëlle Bresson

Our roots from the Cevennes and our love to the region did motivate us during the years of the renovation of the cottage, which was built in the 17th century during the time of the breeding ot the silkworms. It is a nice way for thanking our elders for the history and their hard work. It's the place where our sons did grow up in total freedom.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is and will stay our family cottage. The hamlet of La Combe is located 2 km above the village of Saint Laurent Le Minier in front of the dale of the Vis. Everything is full of sun and green. The wide open space and the magic of this space are perfect for breathing new life.

What makes this property unique

The situation of the hamlet allows you to travel through the region and than to enjoy some peace on the sundeck. The fully renovated cottage is very comfortable. During the summer, you may enjoy bathing in the clear water of the Vis and canoeing on the river 'Hérault'. There are plenty of visits to do in the surroundings, you may travel with your car, your bike, your feet or on the back of a donkey. You may also laze in the coolness of the house or in the shadow of the trees.
