About this house rental
La Casèla is a 17th century stone house which we refurbished for our family in 2002-3 and to which we return each year. It is set on the edge of a friendly, small hamlet (Mons) which nestles on the side of Mont Caroux. The scenery is beautiful - vineyards line the valley, chestnut forest flanks the slopes which rise to the heather-covered mountain top. The house is perfect for exploring the area on foot, or as a base to enjoy swimming in nearby rivers and gorges, canoeing, riding, cycling on the long distance cycle path along the valley or mountain biking for the more adventurous, or venturing further afield to the beach or wine-tasting tours.
The house is very comfortable inside: the bedrooms and bathroom are light and pretty and the kitchen is very well equipped. The living room is spacious with a smart TV, sofa and chairs for relaxing and a wood burning stove for colder times. There is plenty of outside space for sunbathing and relaxing - either on the terraces or in the garden.
Mons La Trivalle is a small community in the Hérault. The ancient part of the village is called Mons and it is located very close (1km) to the beautiful Gorges d'Heric. This is where our house, La Casèla, is located and there is a lovely footpath straight from the house through chestnut woods to the Gorges, where you can swim, rock climb or hike. The environment is very tranquil and the perfect location for a family holiday. At the bottom of the valley (5 minute walk) is La Trivalle, where you find a bar, baker, grocery shop and restaurant. There is also a long distance, traffic-free cycle route through the village extending for 30km in either direction.
The river Orb runs through the bottom of the valley and provides wonderful opportunities for canoeing, swimming and sunbathing.
All in all the house is a great location for anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with good access to outdoor activities. In addition, the house is very comfortable and if you don't fancy going out at all, the terraces and garden provide the perfect location for reading and relaxing.

The old house is lovely renovated and very cosy. It has everything you need except a dish-washer, a freezer (it‘s only only a small fridge) and an ac.
There is a lot of space for a family of 5 or 6, you find a lot of books and maps.
The beds are very comfortable.
It is in walking distance to the Gorge‘d Héric.
We had a great week there.

We had the most wonderful time at Alex and Lillie’s house with our 8 month old daughter. The place is so cosy and tastefully decorated and brilliantly stocked for a family holiday. The surrounding area is heaven for walking and swimming and just generally enjoying lazy days. Alex and Lilli were always super helpful with queries before and during our stay. Look forward to returning one day!

Ich war schon etwas enttäuscht über den Zustand des Objekts. Leider kann man nicht direkt vor dem Haus parken und muss somit mehrmals bei über 30 Grad ca 0,5 km steil bergauf seine Urlaubsachen und Einkauf tragen.
Wir sind auch etwas zu früh da gewesen, so dass ich sehen konnte , wie die Betten bezogen wurden. Die Inlets waren braun-gefleckt! Wir sind dann los und habe für uns neue Kissen gekauft. Die “ frischen “ Handtücher haben so muffig gerochen, dass ich sie noch 2 mal mit der hauseigenen Waschmaschine waschen musste.
Im Dachfenster im Bad befand sich ein Avocado - großes Wespennest, wodrauf ich zwar hingewiesen wurde, sich aber im Laufe der Woche auch niemand mehr drum kümmerte.
Auch waren die Küchenutensilien zum Teil wirklich sehr dreckig hinterlassen worden (es klebten noch Stücke in der Zitruspresse usw.)
Es befindet sich auch Schimmel hinter dem Wasserhahn in der Küche und wenn jemand im Bad darüber duscht, läuft das Wasser neben dem Herd von der Decke die Wand runter.
Ich könnte an dieser Stelle noch einiges mehr aufzählen und habe auch Fotos davon gemacht.
Wir haben trotzdem aus Allem versucht das Beste zu machen und hatten einen tollen Urlaub.
Dennoch bin ich froh mir hier mal Luft machen zu können, denn wir waren schon alle sehr enttäuscht. Das Haus wurde als hervorragend offeriert, und das war es mit Abstand nicht . Vieles muss repariert und erneuert werden und dann hat das Haus auch ein Potential zum “hervorragend “!!!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Familie Morgenthal
