CasaGiga 3070 (Saint-Jean-de-Maruéjols)

Set among the garrigue and vineyards of the Cévennes foothills, this traditional stone cottage in Saint-Jean-de-Maruéjols offers a genuinely southern French backdrop for large gatherings. The property sleeps up to 18 guests across 9 bedrooms — a rare capacity that makes it an excellent fit for extended families, groups of friends, or team retreats. Outside, a private pool and a barbecue area invite long, unhurried days in the open air. Air conditioning keeps the interiors comfortable through the hot Languedoc summers, and WiFi is available throughout the house. A dishwasher and washing machine take care of the practicalities of a longer stay, while a selection of games provides entertainment for quieter evenings or lazy afternoons in the shade. The surrounding region rewards exploration: the Pont du Gard is around 45 kilometres away, and the dramatic Gorges du Gardon about 30. Nîmes — home to one of the world's best-preserved Roman amphitheatres and the outstanding Musée de la Romanité — makes for a compelling day trip. The Gorges de l'Ardèche and the Mediterranean coast are both reachable within two hours. Locally, waymarked trails cross the Cévennes landscape, rivers offer natural swimming spots, and the Duché d'Uzès wine appellation is well worth discovering. With its generous capacity, fully self-sufficient setup, and setting deep in the Occitan countryside, this property is an ideal base for groups who want to truly settle in and make the place their own.
