ABOUT US
Le Mas de Roussa is owned, run and much loved by our family: Anna & Darren, our two little boys, Hugo the dog and Charlie the cat.
We fell in love with the magic of this place and begun our French adventure in July 2021. We’ve hoped to be closer to nature, inspired by the surrounding wonders of wildlife whilst enjoying the wonderful pace of French rural life and caring for this magnificent home.
We live here at the Mas and are on hand when you need us or require local tips and recommendations, but we make sure to give you full privacy to enjoy your holiday in peace.
Here’s what some of our guests are saying about us on Tripadvisor
An Amazing Gite experience - From the moment we arrived it was like throwing a switch into holiday mode. The views took my breath away and the welcome was warm so many lovely elements to... read more the accomodation with the big bath a favourite for me with the trees outside the window. We dined in the cave most nights with a fig tree draped over the entrance and an old grape vine to remind us of its heritage the beautiful pool was where my youngest daughter learnt to swim and her happy face when she realised she could float with armbands sums up the whole vacation. The rustling of wild boar in the forest and the sound of the bleeping creatures really put us at one with nature and Southern France. We hired a mini van at Marseille airport and explored many local towns and cities incl Nimes. Market day in Saint Ambroix was a real feast for the eyes and we could've stayed local for 10 days. The walks along the river and the local vine yard proved popular with us all. I travelled with my wife and extended family with the six youngsters ages ranging from 3 years to 22
All of us had the best time and were very sad to leave but thrilled to have found this holiday experience. Amazing. Thanks for everything Darren, Anna and family you made us most welcome and credit to you.

A small piece of paradise - From september 6th until 15th we stayed at the 2 bedroom gite and had a magnificent time at Mas de Roussa. As soon as you drive up the driveway, it... read more feels like you are away from the rest of the world!
Our gite had a beautiful view of the nearby hills, river and the lovely courtyard. At night, if you sleep with the window open, you can hear the river gently stream and sometimes you can hear the boar roam through the woods.
Eveything you need is at hand: refreshing pool (with view), exquisite dining area, Bbq facilities etc. If you need anything or want to go anywhere: just ask Anna or Darren!
Last but not least, if you visit Mas de Roussa, make sure to go down to the river, it is beautiful!
Would definitely come back to this place and recommend everyone to go there!

The most wonderful break - We stayed here in July, just the two of us, no children. It was just what the doctor ordered. The most peaceful, romantic, tranquil break. The hosts were absolutely incredible,... read more we were treated like royalty. Every minor detail was considered and they were on hand to recommend local treasures such as a vineyard tour, incredible local restaurant and wading in the beautiful local river. The apartment was immaculate, the bed was so comfortable! I had a bath with the window wide open just looking out at the pure beauty that surrounds the property. It is quaint, full of character and love. I came home feeling more myself than I have in a long time. I couldn’t recommend this place any more. We have booked to go back next year with the 4 children for a real family togetherness experience ❤️ thank you Anna and Darren for your wonderful hospitality xxx

Great location too with shops only a 5 minute drive away and loads to do around the area. Darren and Anna couldn't do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble and they were such fantastic hosts. Will definitely be back. 🙂

Highly recommend! - We have just returned from a magical week at Le Mas De Roussa. It really was heavenly; the perfect place to unwind and relax something I didn’t think was... read more possible on a holiday with two young children!
The gites were beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, including air conditioning and our own BBQ. We loved the swimming pool which was immaculately kept and we enjoyed several dips in the Ceze river during our stay. We loved taking a daily stroll down to the river spotting wildlife including kingfishers, herons and a pair of otters! We enjoyed playing pétanque and lazing in hammocks in the lovely grounds too.
From the moment we arrived, hosts Darren and Anna and their family (and pets!) made us feel so welcome. They were always so friendly and generous with their time, and thanks to their local knowledge and recommendations, we enjoyed days out at several amazing river swimming spots, had a delicious lunch out at a lovely restaurant and enjoyed the spectacular caves around 10 minutes away. They even helped me and my husband with some running routes which we really appreciated.
We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

The salted water pool was quite refreshing and we had plenty of time to train our pétanque skills.
Plenty of things to do around (you will need a car).
Would definitely come back 🙂

Le Mas de Roussa review - We had an amazing stay at Le Mas de Roussa!
The setting is unbelievable, with great views and a beautiful river a short stroll from the house. The... read more grounds are spacious and relaxing and they have a great pool area which is a real sun trap.
The property itself is a beautiful old building, which has been lovingly restored by Darren and Anna, the amazing owners and first class hosts! They lay on lots of nice little touches in the very stylish guest apartments and they are always on hand to help with any local advice.
We will definitely return again soon!
