La Bastide des Pins

Elisa and Laurent are excellent hosts! They speak very good English but were happy to let us practice our French. We had a very nice room with aircon and a good hot shower, and the bed was very comfortable. We had a door straight onto the garden too. The pool was superb and it was lovely to sit out under the shady pines. . Laurent cooked a delicious meal for us and some other guests one night and it was a lovely fun evening. We felt very safe leaving our bikes on the car in the gated parking area. The Pont du Gard is very close and a safe cycle ride away. We had a lovely stay and hope to return!

We spent one night here on the way home. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. The setting is idyllic, overhung by huge pines and shrubs with a well and the turquoise of the pool peeking through. The rooms are set in a staggered row in the garden. Our room was charming with lots of old-fashioned style. French doors with voiles and nets opened onto our own little terrace overlooking the garden and pool, with a little table and chairs to relax. The bathroom was huge and the shower was great. I was glad of the mosquito mesh on the little window. The bed was very comfy. The hosts suggested a walk up the road to the nearest restaurant or offered food to be delivered by a friend. We walked and had a great evening of entertainment up the road at Les Voutes. Breakfast was shared at a long table in the garden. Anything more than bread and jam or croissants you needed to ask for. Cereal we requested was muesli brought in a bowl. Coffee was good. Only disappointment for us was the hot tub was not being used and the pool was too cold as unheated. The host kindly printed off good instructions for a hike to the Pont du Gard when we left.
