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
					 
					 
					 
					 
					 
					 
					 
					 
					  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

		  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.

The entire property and the gites were immaculate and luxurious and we made much use of the glorious pool, BBQ’s and grounds to indulge in much river and woodland walking and nature spotting including many animal species such as Otters, Beaver, Red Squirrel, Birds, Butterflies, Bats, Dragonflies and many more !
Darren and Anna looked after us very well and gave us many top local recommendations for exploring the local area including Wines Tasting, Antiques Fairs, Nature Walking, Hiking Trails, River swimming, Kayaking, Craft and Food Markets, Gorge and Mountain view points which made this an extra special experience.
The property was great for our elderly parents and also young children and there is much to do and see for entertainment and activities as well as the serious chilling and relaxing environment created for the perfect holiday !
We absolutely loved our stay and we shall certainly return as soon as possible and we can highly recommend Le Mas de Roussa and Darren and Anna and their lovely family as the perfect hosts and guides !

		  We will be back again!!!   - It's with much enthusiasm that I write this review. Greeted with a very warm welcome, Darren and Anna were the perfect hosts. Everything performed with immense gusto. 
The... read more rooms are exceptional and very well appointed, comfortable, spacious and with a very large shower that had lots of hot water.
The breakfast was plentiful and certainly didn’t disappoint. Anna was aware that we were planning a 12 mile hike and fed us all accordingly.
The property is surrounded by magnificent scenery and accommodates both the weekend stroller or the more adventurous. The Cevennes valleys and Ardeche are a must see. 
And of course the private pool, with it's peaceful surrounding, is the perfect place for reading a book or taking refreshments. 
A very rustic, yet warm, homely place that is perfect for relaxing in the evening.
If I could give 10 stars I would!!
