Description Connaux Charm: Connaux

Tucked into the heart of Connaux village, this stone townhouse wraps its guests in the kind of unhurried charm that's hard to manufacture – vine-draped walls, a sun-warmed courtyard, and a turquoise private pool waiting just outside the door. Inside, the kitchen and dining table invite long, convivial evenings together. Or, take your meals outside for dinner under the stars. Day trips are effortless from here. Uzès, the Pont du Gard, Avignon, and Nîmes are all within easy reach, so you can dip into the wider region before returning to your own quiet corner of the Gard.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car to make the most of the region. Free parking is available in front of the house.
* Pool towels aren't provided, so you'll need to pack your own or pick some up locally before your first swim.
* A concierge will meet you in person to hand over the keys – a nice touch, but arrivals after 11pm aren't possible, so plan your journey accordingly.
