Description
Experience a wonderfully relaxing holiday in one of the most beautiful villages in the south of France. Olargues is a medieval, very picturesque village with a nearly thousand year old bridge and a hilltop medieval tower, which belongs to the remains of a castle. Around the village flows the river Jaur where you can swim wonderfully in the summer. We - your landlords Norbert and Elke - are a German couple living in the Languedoc for several years.
Gardeloup is the small mountain on which we live. You will spend your vacation at the highest point of the south slope, with a wonderful view over the valley. Apart from us there are no direct neighbors, so you can enjoy the house and the associated pool in privacy.
Because we live right next door, we are available to talk to our guests when needed. We love the area in which we live and know it well, so we like to give you advice for your holiday!
The immediate surroundings of Olargues offers wonderful swimming, hiking and cycling opportunities (2 bicycles are available, in the village there is also an e-bike rental) and kayak rentals.
The village itself is within walking distance and there you will find some shops (baker, butcher, épicerie, wine shop, and even an organic food store!) and restaurants. Larger supermarkets are 20km away.

Location and surroundings of object
There are 4 bedrooms, 3 with a French double bed and wardrobes for the clothes, one with a single bed and a wardrobe. One bedroom has a direct access from the living and dining area and is equipped with a separate toilet with a sink and large sliding glass doors offering beautiful panoramic views! From the kitchen area you come into a hallway from which extends further bedrooms (2 with direct access to the terrace), the toilet room and a bathroom (with shower, bathtub and sink). Due to the orientation of the house to the south, sun-seekers will find beautiful recreation areas. The covered terrace and the large palm tree by the pool also provide sufficient shade. 2 comfortable sun loungers, a hammock and a comfortable sofa ensure that you will really feel at home here. A large wooden table with 6 chairs on the terrace offers the opportunity to enjoy your meals outside.
You can enter the house through the large sliding glass doors. You then enter the spacious cozy living room with a big sofa (fits 4 people), 2 very comfortable chairs, coffee table and a bookcase (with German, English, and Dutch books) as well as an adjacent, well-equipped open plan kitchen with a dining table and 6 chairs. Yellow and blue floor tiles, an elaborate mosaic on the demarcation to the kitchen area and large sliding glass doors overlooking the terrace and pool give this room a special atmosphere.

Manfred S. from Buchenberg
Great house with a fantastic pool and lovely landlords.
Thank you very much for our stay in June/July 2025. The spacious one-level house with the wonderful cool pool leaves nothing to be desired. The landlords are very helpful and friendly. The pool was always very well maintained and brought us great joy. We find the location near the national park very appealing - we really liked the area. The valuable tips - also for swimming spots in bodies of water - were very helpful to us. We were very happy to be your guests and look forward to seeing you again!
Best regards, the Allgäuers from the wilderness

What a view...
Our vacation in the holiday home was simply perfect! We had a wonderful time with our three children, a friend's child, and our dog. The pool was a real highlight and kept us perfectly cool on hot days. The kitchen in the photos no longer exists; it has been renovated and even has a ceramic cooktop. Norbert, the landlord, was the best one could wish for – always approachable, helpful, but never intrusive. The surroundings are stunningly beautiful: in the mornings, getting fresh rolls in Olargues, in the afternoons swimming in the river, and in the evenings relaxing by the pool. We think back on this vacation with great joy and can only recommend the holiday home!

What a peace and relaxation!
We are so happy that we booked this place for 2 weeks. We have completely relaxed and there is so much to see and do in the area. When we come home, we take a dip in the pool! Olargues is truly a village from a fairytale. And in 10 minutes you can walk from the cottage to the village. The owner Norbert is a sweet and warm man, he lives in the house next door. He has good ideas for outings. We were as a family, with two girls aged 12 & 13 years.

Dream vacation.
We spent a wonderful week there, the location of the holiday home on the mountain is simply magical. Everything you need is available. The pool is naturally the absolute highlight with its view. The surroundings are worth seeing and you can spend your vacation days in a very varied way. Norbert is the kindest landlord you could wish for and has endless excursion destinations as ideas ready. We will be back!!! Greetings from Berlin.
