10/10
We spent two very calm and relaxed weeks. The house offers many more sleeping opportunities than we needed (we were 4, the house can accommodate 12+ people), which meant our two sons did not have to share a room and we could use one room only for gymnastics. Les Plantiers is a quick car's drive (to get fresh bread in the morning) or a 30 min footwalk one-way for an afternoon swim; a small calm village (bring your boule balls) with good swimming opportunity in the small river. Very nice (and cooler) swimming/diving 20 min drive at St. André. Good starting point to see both the Gorges du Tarn, les Grandes Causses to the west, but also towards Anduze / Ales in the east.
The house has a very nice, spacious entry/lounge/kitchen/eating area - all one big room with a huge table and several sofas. The terrace is huge but being only 4 the roof was enough for us, we did not have to place a sunscreen. In combination, the terrace - big room makes for a very comfy resting area.
At night, you hear the animals of the forest - very nice.
Take the warning about the driveway seriously. We actually loved the secludedness that accessway provides.
No direct contact with hosts, but that was completely unproblematic.
