Stunning A/C Fully Renovated 18th c House w/heated Pool in traditional village
La Vieille Magnanerie is located in a stunning small Gard village north of the famous Camargue's natural reserve and South of the Cevennes mountains. You will immediately notice the beautiful hills covered with vine yards and olive trees, the rich Roman's empire vestiges all around. The Pic St Loup and the beginning of Cevennes Mountains. Throughout the very festive summer season you will be able to discover 'The Guardians' (French cow Boys) putting on spectacular shows with local bull's in streets villages & arenas all over the summer. And of courses all this under great blue sky & full sun shine. An incredible and diverse amount of activities on our door step from The Camargue's bulls & White horses. The Cevenne's caves, rivers and mediaeval villages. The Roman empire vestiges with Pont du Gard, Nimes, Aigues Mortes, Pic St Loup and its great wine or trying the art of Potteries. The stunning beach of l'Espiguette is only an hour drive away from the house.
Our beautiful historical stone house has been extensively restored and is full of vintage chic and rustic charm. It the perfect place for friends and family to spend time together, relax and recharge far away from the 9 to 5. The house oozes character and has many truly original features including a Lavoir in the main garden - once the social hub of the village!
The ground floor: The very ancien paved village street lead to a large quiet lounge, and pool table room and a fully equipped kitchen ( Large cooking hob, American Fridge).
The first floor: Three very large ensuite with Italian showers and two double bedrooms with Italian shower & W/C on the landing. All rooms but Metal room (2 single beds) are fitted with Air Conditioner. Each room has its own control device. The house is also equipped with the latest WIFI 6 technology and provide a decent WIFI all around.
The private walled garden: It contains everything you could want for a fantastic day outdoors - large decked heated swimming pool, Spring free trampoline, ping pong table, loungers, shaded eating area and your very own Boule Court!
The newly outdoor summer kitchen equipped with a plancha (flat hot griddle) & Asado Argentinian style BBQ will also be a great spot to hang around, sip a glass of wine whilst your dinner is slowly getting ready.
Around the house L'echoppe du Suc is the village's local grocery store. It only sells local products, fruits, vegs, bread & pastries and of course wine & local beers! It usually opens 8-12:30 Tuesday through Saturday the summer weeks and 17-19:30 the rest of the year. Great selection of locally grown fruits & veg straight from producers at rounds about near the house. SOMMEIRES famous Farmers & Antique market as seen on British TV
MOST IMPORTANT POINTS
The house is located in the very heart of the village within the ancient historical centre. Houses are embedded in one another and noise can travel far depending of the winds. The deep calm of the village can not at any point be disturbed by excessive noises from the garden. During the very hot summer days village people in the South all tend to open their shutters at dawns to let cool air inside and often keep windows open throughout the night.
Therefore the following points must be acknowledged prior to booking our property so you can fully relax and enjoy your stay: NO NUSIC to be played outside and particularly around the pool area day or night. Whilst the little ones ( and older one's too) can fully enjoy and have a great time in the pool & the trampoline, all excessives screams must be controlled and addressed by the parents. If you fancy a midnight dip in the pool we will encourage you to do so but NO jumps, cannonballs, ball games or loud conversations. And whilst some can fully appreciate the silence and the beautiful bright night sky, the night owl can have a great time inside the house playing pool, board games and enjoying a night cup without disturbing anyone sleeping upstairs or our friends and neighbours. It is paramount that the above points are understood and followed.
1/ The swimming pool is heated from Early May until End of September. 2/ Flying drones is very regulated in France. It is therefore prohibited to fly drones in our garden without specifics authorisation by local authorities. 3/Please let us know if you come with electric bikes as charging them indoor can be a fire hazard.

A great house. Plenty of space and equipped with everything you need.
A lovely swimmingpool and a friendly and attentive host.
This house is defenitely recommended
We stayed here for a wedding nearby. The property was better than pictured, really well equipped and very comfortable. Ronan was incredibly accommodating and was on hand for any help we needed. Thank you very much.
Really really nice house, everything you need is there, or can be asked for. The host is very friendly, he is accessible without being too present. The town is absolutely charming, the people try to give you a welcome feeling. We really recommend this place!
Beautiful home and outside area with amazing attention to detail
We were a party of 9 adults and had a lovely week in the beautiful village of Combas. The house is a building of great character but has all necessary mod cons. Many happy hours spent playing boules and ping pong and relaxing by the pool
The home exceeded all our exceptions. It was wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a better place to send time with our family and friends. Great place for children and adults. The decor was beautiful. The place was spotless. The hosts were quick to respond to all messages. I hope one day we can return.
Brilliant from start to finish! Such a stunning place to stay for all the family. We LOVED the accommodation, the character of the property, the outside spaces, the pool was AMAZING… everything about it. The games room was perfect for the evenings. The location, close to Nimes and Sommières, was beautiful and easy to find. The village of Combas is picturesque in every way. And a huge thank you to Ronan, Becky and Megan for such a warm welcome and letting us stay in their beautiful home.
Even better than the photos! Three of the bedrooms have ensuite baths (one of these bedrooms has an additional bedroom that forms a family suite), and the other two bedrooms share a close by hall bath. Delightful pool, and kids loved the trampoline and pool table as well. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 2 - 17).
Loved the location from which we visited Nimes Arena, Pont du Gard and Chauvet Cave 2. Parking in the village was never a problem for our 3 families with 3 cars.
Lovely place to rest and spend time with family. A few things to note, the parking across the street is very limited. We were able to park there 3 times in 17 days. The garage would be for a small car if you can even get it in as the angle might be difficult. We didn’t even try. Bring your own shampoo and shower soap. The house itself is well decorated with interesting elements. We enjoyed the outdoor space the most.
Host, property, ambience, pool , trampoline & on and on : as good as it gets. This is a unique French country estate situated in tiny village of Combas, vineyards all around. Treat your family to a most memorable stay at this magical compound sure to create lasting memories.
The property was great. Better than the pictures. Good for a group as several large living spaces and dining areas, plus everyone had their own good-sized bedroom.
Kids loved the pool and trampoline.
We, an extended family of twelve, had a lovely time in this well kept and charming house! The garden is wonderful! Apart from hanging around the big pool, we also tried some activities in the area such as canyoning and parcour. The host Ronan is very friendly and welcoming, so communication works very well!
We spent a fabulous week in this amazing property. The interior is extremely spacious, with so much space for the 9 of us. The kitchen and dining areas were large and well equipped, similarly, the bedrooms and bathrooms. The decoration and period features made the whole property a joy to be in.
The outside space was perfect with several seating areas, including an outside table big enough to seat us all. The pool was large and inviting and very well maintained.
All in all, a fabulous property and would recommend to anyone.

An unforgettable holiday!
Our stay at La Vieille Magnanerie is one that we will never forget. The house itself is tastefully styled and brilliantly equipped. Its setting in the centre of a beautiful little village called Combas was the perfect sanctuary for us. Most days we didn’t want to leave the comfort of the house, but when we did we discovered so many hidden gems in the local area — a particular favourite which we returned to more than once being Sauve, a little town teeming with artists and poets. I long to return to La Vieille Magnanerie and have recommended it to so many of my friends and family. A fantastic stay!
Amazing house with plenty of space for 2 families. The house is full of surprises and charming details, decorated with passion. While the house is old and has a great history, the kitchen and bathrooms are all modern, and the beds are very comfortable - a perfect combination. We hardly used the cozy lounge or dining room, because the best part of the house is the wonderful outdoor space, patio and pool area. Lots of places to relax - underneath the pergola, in the lounge area or in a deckchair at the pool. The kids loved the pool and trampoline. Ronan, the owner, is a very kind, helpful and customer focused host - and has a lot of passion for the place. You can feel it in every room, with all the little details and specials. We were welcomed with a chilled bottle of Rosé - what a great welcome after a long ride.
Combas is a small village with narrow streets - very neat and charming, and it has a small kiosk, that sells fresh bread, croissants and also some honey, jam, fruit and vegetable. Larger villages with supermarkets and great markets are nearby. Great experience to visit the markets in Sommieres and Quissac (just 10 min away). 45 min. to Montpellier, 20 min. to Nîmes, 50 min. to a great beach south of Grau du Roi.
We so much enjoyed that week, and hope to come back some time!
Nous avons tout apprécié dans ce magnifique gîte : la propreté irréprochable, le confort ( literies ), la fraîcheur de la tonnelle couverte de vigne vierge, le salon extérieur et ses petites lampes et lumignons où nous avons pris l’apéro le soir, la piscine où il est si facile de rentrer ( car chauffée ), l’équipement de la cuisine et surtout l’esthétique des lieux et le bon goût qui règne partout !Malgré la chaleur nous n’avons pas eu besoin d’utiliser la Clim grâce aux murs protecteurs et avons toujours pu choisir entre ombre ou soleil pour nous installer sur les transats.Cette belle demeure a largement contribué à la réussite de notre séjour !
Ideale pour des retrouvailles entre amis nous etions 8.Le propriétaire est aux petits soins.Tres belle batisse, tres bien equipee, tres belle deco.
