About this property

L'Amandier gite is on one level with three bedrooms (one en suite) with a seperate shower and wc, all leading off the open-plan living area. Recently refurbished, care and attention to detail make it a home-from-home. The decor is a balance of contemporary and traditional: a well-equipped modern kitchen complements the exposed stone walls, tapestries, old armoires, chaise longue and cast-iron banquette. Satellite TV provides UK freeview channels, with French and other European stations available on request. Plus there's a dvd player, cd player with ipod dock and free wi-fi connectivity. Uniquely, the sliding glass windows, which run the length of one side of the living area, open directly onto the mosaic surround of the heated pool - your own in-house pool bar! Outside, the courtyard garden has a BBQ and dining area, sun loungers and two further shady seating areas. There is secure parking for two cars inside the main gates, shaded by the magnificent almond tree, which gives the gite its name.

Summer 2024

We had a lovely stay at Jill and Richard's gite this summer, with our two boys. They were so welcoming and the gite is very well stocked with everything you need. It is a beautiful area, a perfect location, close to the coast and many other wonderful things to see. Lovely local restaurants and a boulangerie for breakfast!

Absolute highest recommendations!

We are a family consisting of 2 adults and 3 children aged 11-12-13 years. We had the most amazing summer holiday in this beautiful holiday home in Neffies. Super cosy little town and a really nice WELL-equipped house with a lovely pool and really great terrace/courtyard with both sun loungers and dining area. Ideal interior design of the house with many cosy details, and especially a nice kitchen with everything you need. Very clean and well-maintained house, with nice beds, bathrooms, barbecue, tv, pool toys, parking right at the door - and everything you could wish for. In addition, we, and especially our children, enjoyed the company of the host couple's cute little dog, who is incredibly child-friendly and calm. And no need to worry if you don't like dogs, because we were asked every time if it was ok for the dog to come and say hello to us. We have never met such SWEET, pleasant and attentive hosts as Jill and Richard. We were welcomed SO well from the moment we booked the house. Bread, fruit, juice, butter, cheese and wine were waiting for us when we arrived after a long drive. Really thoughtful. And Jill was very helpful in assisting with e.g. booking restaurant visits and wine tasting, as well as ideas for experiences and excursions in the local area. We can only give our absolute best and warmest recommendations for this wonderful holiday home and incredible sweet host couple in Neffies. We would definitely book again!

A great holiday!

What’s not to like!? Jill and Richard are the warmest and most welcoming hosts. We immediately felt at home in the clean, cosy and comfortable gîte. The bedlinen feels so luxurious and soft! Excellent pool that is well taken care of. And we will never forget little Tilly, the sweetest dog of the whole Hérault. The region has so many possibilities. We visited Mèze, and took a navette across the Etang the Thau, to Sète. We visited Pézenas, a good place for cosy shopping. The kids really liked the little beach at the Pont de diable, and the beautiful village St.-Guilhem le Désert. Neffiès itself has two good restaurants and a cosy wine bar, all in walking distance. We plan to go back! Thank you, Jill and Richard, and Tilly❤️ Een aanrader!!!

Quant à l'extérieur, il est très agréable de s'y reposer après une journée à visiter la région. Le village est charmant, pourvu d'une boulangerie, épicerie bio et d'excellents restaurants.

Merveilleuse semaine de vacances à Neffiès

Nous avons passé une superbe semaine en août à Neffiès, village calme et charmant à proximité de nombreux points d’interêt qui méritent le détour (Ponts du Diable, Cirque de Mourèze, Lac du Salagou). Jill et Richard sont charmants et attentionnés, ils ne manqueront pas de vous conseiller sur les activités à faire dans la région. La maison est très agréable et la cuisine parfaitement équipée. N’hésitez pas à réserver chez Jill et Richard !

Excellent home for a peaceful retreat

Jill and Richard were excellent hosts, greeting us with a kitchen stocked with goodies (wines, bread, milk, fresh juice, fruit & vegetable). The house was impeccably clean, which was highly reassuring given the current times. Jill and Richard were discreet, respectful and always available should we need anything. The pool was lovely and the outdoor area ideal for summer lunches and dinners (+ perk to have the BBQ). We would highly recommend this stay, as it is not only deeply relaxing, but also central to loads of wineries and outdoor sights. Will definitely come back!

Excellent week Away

A very nice Gite, which was a home from home with everything you needed available. It was a lot larger than we expected, so lots of space for everyone. We had a nice relaxing week with family, a couple of days out and plenty of time around the small pool which is a bonus to cool down from the heat of the day. The Gite was even cool during the day which helped make it comfortable. Lovely hosts Jill & Richard who where discreet but on hand to help with any advice, questions or table bookings. A big recommendation from me and the family.

well appointed, lovely gite with heated pool

We stayed for a week with two young children and had a lovely time. Gill & Richard are considerate and discrete hosts and very good a accomodating our specific needs and making suitable recommendations for activities and restaurants. Neffies is a very pretty village in a beautiful location ideal for site-seeing and wine-tasting. Lovely beaches are within easy reach and the short drive to Montpelier airport made for easy transfers. The gite is in excellent condition with a kitchen kitted out by someone who likes to cook, along with basics like oil, seasoning and tin foil etc, it makes life very easy. The court yard garden is a lovely spot to sunbathe or enjoy a meal with a glass of wine whilst watching the swifts overhead.

This Gite has everything you need.

Our group of four adults stayed in this Gite for four nights on the start of our way through France and into Italy for a family wedding. What a great start to our holiday. It is such a relaxing and peaceful place, with a great pool and courtyard. The Gite is spacious and well equipped with everything you might need. Jill and Richard are the perfect owners who helped us with many things including directions to places, interpreting, and directing us to the best wine shops! Thank Jill and Richard, we will return soon. Pat, Tony, Pat and Mick.

Amazing Villa

We have just had a fantastic fortnight in this villa. It is well equipped with everything you could need and more! The very generous welcome pack (including wine, fruit and essentials such as coffee, milk, bread etc) was most appreciated. Jill and Richard were fantastic hosts and their recommendations of places to eat, sights to see, and local events were all 'spot on' and enabled us to make the most of our visit. The village of Neffies is beautiful with two good restaurants, a bakery and a small supermarket. We made full use of the lovely pool and barbecue and found the outside area perfect for both the sun lovers in our party and those of us who prefer a shady spot to read a book or chill out with a beer or wine. We were all sorry to leave after our fortnight and will be recommending th villa to family and friends.

Fab holiday destination

A lovely gite in an excellent area. We wanted a gite in a village location central for sight seeing and we were not disappointed. The gite was clean and very well equipped. The pool, courtyard and eating area was a nice place to relax with friends and we made good use of the BBQ. The owners Jill and Richard lived on site and clearly wanted their guests to get the most out of their holiday. Jill had put together a comprehensive tourist information folder, including details about the village, local attractions and events. We loved the village restaurant Le Very'table and had fantastic meals there at reasonable cost. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone wanting good accommodation in this beautiful area of France!

Fantastic holiday; lovely gite

We've stayed at a number of properties selected from Owners Direct, and this one is up there with the best. I endorse the comments of the other review: the gite is of a large size with plenty of room indoors and out. Bedrooms are a good size. And the place was spotlessly clean. Having the private pool right by the door is fantastic - it's cold when you get in but worth it! Provision of pool towels and pool toys is a great idea by Jill and Richard. The courtyard is not huge but comfortable for 4-6 sunbathers (remember the sun doesn't get as high in Sept and probably May, so there will be shade). And definitely big enough for BBQ, meals outside etc. Jill and Richard are great hosts. They live on site but respect your privacy and space, but are available for advice or help if you need it. There is lots of tourist info in the gite, along with a very full and informative folder, from when the rubbish is collected to where to visit to local restaurants in a variety of villages. The kitchen is very well equipped and you could easily prepare and cook all your meals here. Jill and Richard provided a good basic larder which included wine (basic?), water, juice, fruit, cheese, milk, bread plus tea/coffee, and oil, condiments etc. But eat out... L'Escampette and L'Very Table in the village are fantastic but book in advance. Jill booked our first night table for us and took a load of worry off! I completely agree with all the comments on the site about location to towns, tourist sites etc. It is a perfect base to explore the area. 90 mins to Carcasonne, 45 mins to Montpelier, 30 mins to the beach and not that far from mountains, vineyards etc.

Perfect French Holiday

We had a wonderful holiday in this delightful gite. The property is immaculately maintained and presented. On arrival we were greeted with crisp sheets, white fluffy towels, wine in the fridge and plenty of basic supplies (bread, cheese, milk, butter). What welcome! The décor and general ambiance is lovely. Everything we could possibly need was there: from pool towels and toys, to cool boxes, beach umbrellas, books, games, DVDs and a great BBQ. Gill and Richard are very helpful but discreet hosts. Your privacy is guaranteed, but equally help and advice was there if you wanted it. Our older children adored having their own pool for the week and it was hard to keep them out of it. It was on the cool side for our 2 year old, but he was happy splashing and playing in our rubber dinghy. Neffies is a pretty French village with a bakery, shop a bar and great restaurant. It was lovely to be able to walk to places. The area is beautiful; surrounded by vineyards, 40 minutes from great beaches, 10 minutes to swimming lake in the hills and 30 minutes from national park/mountain scenery. So much to do we only scratched the surface, for example we didn't manage any 'sight seeing' of which there is lots! I would highly recommend this property and suspect we will tempted to go again as we think it will be hard to beat!

About the host

Hosted by Jill Morley

Jill, Richard, and spaniel Zac, loaded themselves, and whatever else they could fit in, into their car, and began their French Odyssey in 2009. Strangers to the Languedoc region, they were drawn to the Mediterranean landscape, lifestyle, culture, and the lure of 300 days of sunshine a year. They weren't disappointed. Finding a neglected converted wine barn, they applied their varied talents into creating a home for themselves and a holiday rental, which woud be a home for others. With backgrounds in furniture making and TV production, plus Zac's ability to dig holes, the project was bound to succeed! Decide for yourselves: they haven't looked back, and look forward to welcoming you to share their sun-drenched, secluded retreat.

Why they chose this property

We genuinely care about our guests, from attention to detail, to providing a welcome pack, and advising about whatever attractions suit your needs, we will go out of our way to help you. Previous guests have commented about how well-equipped, and how clean, the gite is: providing a home-from-home for you is important to us. The accommodation is spacious, and remains cool even in the height of summer. It is also quiet and tranquil, with all the benefits of a well-appointed village on your doorstep.

What makes this property unique

After tumbling into the pool from inside the gite, you then have the choice of two excellent eating venues within 5 minutes walking distance - leave your car behind and relax into village life. We are also well-placed between mountains, sea, lakes, rivers, gorges, the Canal du Midi, vibrant cities, historic towns and picturesque villages. And if that's not enough, there are family attractions too. You won't have enough time to explore the richness the area has to offer, but you can try!
