LESC101 - Villa Les Castagnes
About the home
This original stone cottage has been carefully restored and extended to provide a spacious villa, with all the conveniences of modern services.
The extension has been sensitively designed to complement the original cottage. Local materials and imaginative use of glass has maximised the natural light in the house, which benefits from lovely, unimpeded views over the Avant Mountains and the Caroux Mountains.

Guest comments
"We would like to take this opportunity to let you know that we thought the house was extremely charming and well appointed, and was just the place for rest and relaxation. It was a nice change to visit a house that contained everything necessary for a wonderful stay, also your house managers, who were extremely efficient and lovely people. We will certainly be recommending the house to friends, family and colleagues."
"Thank you very much for renting your beautiful house. We had a great time, mostly relaxing around the pool, but also hiking the gorges, canoeing and seeing the grottos."
"Just to wanted to say that we had a great holiday at your villa. We particularly liked the location and surrounding countryside, especially the Gorges d'Heric. I enjoyed exploring the local trails and climbing the Montahut, and we also did a bike ride on the track from Mons. We've had quite a few holidays in France but your place is the area we'd most want to visit again"
