CasaGiga 2299 (Thoiras)

Nestled in the heart of the Cévennes in the Gard département, the village of Thoiras in Occitania sets the scene for this characterful cottage — a peaceful, unspoilt retreat perfectly suited to large group gatherings. Sleeping up to 18 guests across 8 bedrooms, it is an ideal base for extended family reunions, friends' getaways, or collective retreats. The cottage layout is built around shared living: generous communal areas bring the whole group together, while each private bedroom offers the personal space everyone needs. The outdoor pool is the star feature for summer stays — the Cévennes sun ensures it gets plenty of use. A dishwasher and washing machine make longer group stays far easier to manage, and on-site games mean there is always something to enjoy without leaving the property. Thoiras sits at the gateway to the Cévennes National Park, established in 1970, surrounded by dramatic landscapes of garrigue scrubland, chestnut forests, and sweeping gorges. Hikers will find an abundance of trails right on the doorstep. The Gorges du Gardon are within easy reach, offering river swimming and outdoor adventures. The nearby town of Anduze charms visitors with its artisan pottery, vintage steam train, and exceptional botanical gardens. The town of Alès, the area's main hub, provides all the shops and services a group could need throughout their stay. An authentic hideaway for shared memories — in the wild, sun-soaked south of France.
