For a romantic breakaway or a week with family, “La Bastide de Fabrègues” opens its doors to you and invite you to spend moments of pure joy in the heart of the South of France !
Neither a bed and breakfast, nor an hotel; built in the 18th century, La Bastide de Fabregues is a delightful and authentic family home, available for you to enjoy for a long weekend or for one or more weeks.
Given to their daughter as a dowry in the 19th century, by the owners of the time, this gentle house was created under the sign of love and was to have been called "La Bastide des Coeurs" ( the House of Hearts), indeed the emblem of the Bastide representing a stylised orange tree and a heart bears witness to that. However it was called after the place name "Fabregues", which comes from the Latin FABRICAE meaning "smithy" (in French, "forges") and which is yet another reference to embers and passion.
Its delightful garden surrounded by stone walls offers the charm of century old trees, of a small waterlily pond and a 19th century orangery where you can lunch and receive guests round the two large stone tables.
On the first floor, three double bedrooms, absolutely delightful, and a mezzanine sleeping area for 2 or 3 children, open onto a romantic balcony, overhung by a 200 year old plane tree under whose shade you may choose to breakfast; two bathrooms with bath and shower, a large fitted kitchen, a separate and refined dining room, a fully equipped laundry, a beautiful lounge with deep sofa and armchairs, a drinks cabinet, a card table, television, library. will all give you the opportunity to discover Provence and the Camargue from a genuine, refined and serene base.
You will find no marble, no silk in this haven of peace and tranquillity, rather the luxury of space, of beauty, and of comfort: perfect and contemporary beds, exceptional bed linen in hand- embroidered white cotton percale, antique pieces of furniture, paintings and engravings, original artists' drawings, board games, a library to bury yourself in, a spacious fully-equipped kitchen and the Golf Club of Nîmes-Campagne less than one kilometer away.
In addition, and at a time to suit you, you will be able to enjoy the delights of a free tasting of the rich and varied wines of the Chateau de la Tuilerie, AOC Costieres de Nîmes, in the wine- tasting cellar less than 2 kilometers from the Bastide.
To enable you to fully enjoy the exclusive delights of this house, without the constraints of sharing, the Bastide is not available for partial rental.
The large enclosed garden provides total security in which children can explore its secrets and followers of the "siesta" tradition can partake of their favourite exercise in the hammocks provided for this purpose in the shade of the trees. The garden is also equipped with a shower to refresh yourself after sun-bathing and a lovely round swimming pool shelted and surrounded by trees.
Situated 5 minutes from the airport of Nîmes -Garons-Camargue with a daily service to London- Luton, Liverpool, East Midlands and Charleroi airports, it provides a sunny escape for our European neighbours throughout the year.
The TGV station, 8 kilometers away, provides access to Paris in 2 hours 50 minutes and the motorway exit 4 kilometers away completes the accessibility of this country hideaway.
Broadband internet service (WIFI), satellite television, DVD and CD player enable you to keep up to date with the outside world and in touch with your business.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Bastide and, in the meantime, are at your entire disposal to help with your preparations for your visit.
