5/5

This nature house is located in the hamlet of Les Plantades. The oldest part dates back to around 1700. The right wing is the newest and was built in the early 20th century. In addition to the large kitchen-diner, the house has one living room, one large sleeping area, and two bedrooms. This makes the nature house suitable for 2 to 6 people. The entire structure is built around a courtyard, the “cour intérieur.” Here you’ll find a covered seating area, the “Chambre d’été,” or summer room. It’s a wonderful spot when it’s too hot outside, as there’s always a cooling breeze. Within walking distance, there’s a pool carved out of the rock by the stream where you can take a refreshing dip. The only heating comes from two wood stoves, one in the kitchen and the other in the living room. Firewood is available at the gate and also in the cellar beneath the living room, which is accessible from outside. Because the house is built on a mountainside, the numerous stairs make it unsuitable for people with mobility impairments.

Nature and surroundings

The area surrounding the house consists of sweet chestnut forests. This part of the Ardèche was once a major producer of sweet chestnuts, which were mainly used to make purée (sweetened or unsweetened) and flour. Due to the depopulation of the “flat” countryside on the one hand and a tree disease on the other, production has declined dramatically. Most plantations, such as this one, have been left to run wild. Most of the chestnuts are left on the ground and now serve as food for wild boars, roe deer, dormice, and so on. Because the area is so rich in food, there is also plenty of wildlife. It’s not unusual to drive home in the evening and come across a pair of wild boars on the road or a group of badgers clumsily scurrying in front of your car. Around the house are walnut and hazel trees. In late July and August, the hazel trees are very popular with squirrels. Balancing on the telephone wire, they venture right up to the house to devour the still-soft hazelnuts.

The cottage itself had everything we might need, from cooking utensils to toys for the children. The area is fantastic for an active family vacation. Very friendly owners, who give lots of tips to do in the area. Many activities do require an adventurous disposition and good fitness :)

Authentic, well-kept house in the middle of a mountain with beautiful views of the valley. Lots of nice hidden corners, both in the house and in the immediate surroundings.

Een heel mooi en authentiek huis in een prachtige omgeving: (bergen die uitgedoofde vulkanen bleken, bronnen, watervallen, rivieren met zwem mogelijkheid) . Het uitzicht was prachtig, heerlijk om ‘s ochtends de luiken te openen en heel het dal te kunnen zien. Het was wel warm terwijl wij er waren, maar door de dikke muren bleef de hitte buiten. Ook het bronwater voor het huis was geweldig. De eigenaar heeft ons heel sympathiek verwelkomd en goed op de hoogte gehouden . Het huis heeft veel trapjes en niveauverschillen, maar dat staat ook goed op de website.Verder is behalve tv en vast internet ( 4 G kan veel oplossen)alles aanwezig voor een fijn verblijf.

Het huis ligt in de hoogte via een steil weggetje en is omringd door natuur, samen met een paar andere huizen. Het was er zeer rustig. Het is omringd door loofbossen ( vooral kastanjes, vanwaar de naam les Plantades) maar je bent ook zo de berg op.

Wij hebben enorm genoten van de rust en mooie omgeving. Het huis is prachtig en heerlijk afgelegen. De eigenaar zeer vriendelijk, behulpzaam (tips) en met mooie verhalen over de geschiedenis van het huis en omgeving.

Heerlijke rust en authenticiteit. Mooie kastanjenomen, vele hagedissen en eekhoorntjes. Uitzicht over de bergen en in de verte Mont Ventoux

Good to know
