Castle For Rent: Chateau de Lascours House C
House C sleeps 7 people
Lascours is a very small village perched on a hill, surrounded by
vineyards and with a view of the Mont Bouquet in the distance. It is 2km
outside Cruviers-Lascours, where there is a small shop, a Mairie, a tennis
court and a post office. It is approximately 20 kms from Uzès, one of the
most picturesque towns in Southern France. Also at a distance of 22 km is
the ancient Roman town of Nimes, which contains several well-preserved
antiquities (arena, temple and baths) as well as chic shopping in the
pedestrian-only old town. The village of Lascours has no shops and very
narrow roads, so there is very limited traffic. A bread van delivers daily
and a meat van calls once or twice a week. The houses are located right in
the heart of the oldest part of the village, annexed to the chateau.
The Chateau de Lascours: House C
The Chateau de Lascours is situated in a park of over 20.000 sq.m. and
has been divided in 3 parts which are each completely separated from each
other.
The main part, of the chateau, is being occupied by the owner and his
family. They are only living there a few weeks in the year.
Each house has their own, separate, entrance and its own garden and
only the swimming pool is jointly use. The swimming pool is large
(12.5 m x 7m), and is surrounded by a garden and a spacious terrace of
natural stone paving. Each house has its own separate entrance to
the pool.
House C:
There is 170 m². of living area on four levels. It is comfortably
furnished and tastefully restored. The tiled floors and thick stone walls
ensure coolness in the house during the hot summer. The 5
outdoor levels/terraces provide plenty of space for private sunbathing,
reading or relaxing, and give the house its distinctive character. It
combines the advantages of village life (with its entrance right onto the
tiny street facing west) and the privacy of a secluded garden (facing
south east). The best feature of the house is the roof terrace, which has
spectacular views over the valley and vineyards on one side and the tiled
roofs of the village on the other. The swimming pool is in the adjoining
garden of the Chateau, so at a safe distance for small children.
Houses B & C are available separately or together. House B will
accommodate 6 persons and house C will 7. Together they provide a facility
for 13 persons. Please click on House B
