Independent Comment
Set high on the hillside, but only 10 minutes walk from the centre of the bustling market town of Lodeve, this property provides a very convenient base for both touring and a wide range of activities in this picturesque area. The good-sized rooms, all on the upper floor, are light and airy, well presented and tastefully furnished, each having its own smart private or ensuite shower-room with generous-sized shower. The private balcony or terrace in 3 of the rooms accentuates the feeling of space and light, allowing you to relax and linger at your leisure and enjoy the scenic views to the east and south. However, you may also be tempted by the pool below and there is a large social terrace below the ground floor breakfast/dining room, again with good views and available for dining in the summer.
