The nature house is a 400 year old "fermette", near the village of Darbres in the Ardèche. The house has a living-dining room of over 55 m², which, like the kitchen, is fully equipped. On the first floor, accessible via the mezzanine, there is a large bedroom with a double bed, a crib and a sink. There is another bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. The outside stairs lead to the 'pigeonnier'. This former pigeon tower has been converted into a cozy bedroom with a single bed and washbasin downstairs. Upstairs is another double bed.

More tourist destinations, historic cities and sporting trips are possible in the immediate vicinity or within a few dozen minutes by car.

    Complete and thoughtfully decorated house. The many places to sit, both outside and inside, made it a pleasant place for us. We especially enjoyed the elevated covered terrace overlooking, what feels like, your own little valley, immensely.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage has a nice location, the first are neighbors quite a ways away. The property borders a small river where kids can play nicely. A short walk leads to Darbres, where there are no stores, but there is a nice local market with good food on Monday evenings in the summer. Above the village is a short walk with nice views of the surrounding area. While walking we did get quite bothered by daises, I guess that is the time of year. The hustle and bustle and all the possibilities of the Ardeche are within reach, but also feel far away in this fine cottage.

    We found everything we needed, everything was there and extra mention for cleanliness. The surroundings were wonderful: quiet but many attractions nearby. Definitely highly recommended!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The house is quietly located in the midst of beautiful nature. The river running alongside the property provided pleasant cooling during the very hot weather.
