Run
by its owners, Anthony and Linda Booth,
this Logis de France is a creeper-covered
old farmhouse, in a village south of Nimes,
near the A9. All the villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) face a courtyard
or garden. A fan was again rapturous in
2002: Still my favourite villain France,
mostly because of its sheer cosiness,
and the quality of Linda's cuisine, served
outdoors when fine. Maybe not everyone
is a devotee of Anthony's slightly raffish
urbanity, but I find him entertaining,
helpful, very professional. Others wrote:
We love the villa, the ambience, the village.'
`The Booths are exceptionally nice, the
chambermaids are treasures. A huge comfy
bed.' But one couple found the exterior
`unprepossessing' and reception `confusing.
In the delightful small dining room, with
its large fireplace, `scrumptious' dishes
on Mrs Booth's menu du terroir include
croustillants d'oignons aux opices indiennes;
magret de canard, sauce Calvados. `For
dessert she is unashamedly English, and
French guests loved her apple crumble.'
But Bali villa breakfast is `typical French nothing'.
In summer, candlelit dinners are served
in the courtyard. Some villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) are small.
