Great gite in stunning location, peaceful setting with gorgeous view

The gite is well equipped and is good sized for a couple. The two stand-outs for me were: The picture south-facing window, so had wonderful light and an incredible view that changed through the day: The downstairs bedroom which stayed cool even with 30c days. It's great location to explore the Cevennes and further south into the Herault. The area is astonishing and should be better known. The roads are almost deserted and no destination I went to felt crowded. I went wild swimming in deserted rivers, drove the fantastic Corniche des Cevennes, and walked in the middle of nowhere. I'll be back!

Perfect place to relax and gaze at the view.

We spent four days mid-September at Antoine's gite in Cezas and loved it. Although it is quite small, the space is very well planned and clean, and had everything we needed, and the view from the terrace and garden is quite incredible. There are good walks locally and the hamlet itself has character. Highly recommended.

Traumurlaub in den Cevennen

Wir suchten einen Urlaub mit viel Ruhe, aber auch vielen tollen Ausflugszielen und haben dies bei Antoine und Sylvie in Cezas, in diesem romantischen kleinen Bergdörfchen am Fuße der Cevennen, gefunden. Das Haus war sehr sauber und komfortabel, die Gastgeber sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir genossen die wunderbare Aussicht auf die Cevennen. Die vielen tollen Urlaubsziele in der Umgebung konnten wir gut erreichen. Gebadet haben wir in der Nähe von Ganges im kalten klaren Flüßchen Vis. Vielen Dank für alles. Dieses Urlaubsziel ist sehr zu empfehlen. Elke und Peter aus Lutherstadt Wittenberg

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce petit village. La vue est magnifique. Deux terrasses, ce qui fait qu on alterne l une ou l autre pour être abrité des rayons du soleil tout en bénéficiant du paysage. Les hôtes sont d une extrême gentillesse, disponible, aux petits soins. Nous partons ressourcés de notre séjour au sein de ce havre de paix.

Fernab der Welt...

… ist Cezas ist ein ganz besonderer Urlaubsort für Reisende, die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit mögen. Wer den Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke haben möchte oder Angst vor bergigen Straßen hat, wäre hier falsch. Wer die Zeit mit einem überragenden Ausblick über Täler, Berge und Wälder in einem Haus mit viel Charme genießen will, hat es hier sehr gut getroffen. Das Haus (für 2 Personen ideal, aber auch für 4 Personen möglich) ist sauber und einfach, aber dabei mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Zwei kleine Terrassen stehen zur Verfügung und man findet unter einem wunderbar riechenden Feigenbaum Raum zur Entspannung. Antoine ist ein sehr angenehmer und diskreter Gastgeber, der mit seinem phantastischem Gitarrenspiel zur besonderen Atmosphäre des Hauses beiträgt. Ein Ausflugstipp noch, man sollte von Cezas aus unbedingt die Grotte des Demoiselles und den Jardin des Sambucs besuchen, es ist lohnt sich. Na dann, bon voyage…

Retraite au calme dans un hameau pittoresque

Magnifique vue sur les paysages chaotiques de la faille des Cévennes et le regard se perd jusqu'au Ventoux et la Provence. Un hameau chargé d'histoire et d'émotion où nous attend un hôte accueillant, attentif à nos besoins et soucieux du confort des ses touristes de passage. Un petit gite bien pourvu pour 4 personnes (2 lit dans la mezzanine et un grand Lit en bas). A la belle saison on pourrait aller en extérieur, sur la terrasse. En venant, ne pas oublier qu'on n'est pas à côté de commerces ni de bistrot ni de restau ! On est là pour profiter de la nature et on est bien servi !
