From this charming nature house, you’ll enjoy a phenomenal view of the green mountains and valleys—a true gem in the Southern Ardèche. It has a lovely old-world atmosphere, is cozy, and offers stunning views! Thanks to the thick natural stone walls, it stays pleasantly cool inside during the summer. An ideal spot for two lovers. There’s a sitting and dining area, a small, fully equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom, and a luxurious king-size Pullman bed. On the large, south-facing terrace, you can relax with a book, enjoy a meal, and gaze at the clear starry sky in the evening. This terrace is primarily reserved for the guests of this cottage. Let nature and tranquility embrace you. There’s no such thing as a rush here. Staying in this nature house is more of an experience. In the morning, you’ll be awakened by the bells of the sheep and the cheerful swallows. Whether you choose to relax mindfully or go out and explore, here you’ll find the peace you need to recharge your batteries. The Dutch hosts will be happy to show you the way!

A place where you can relax and unwind, with views so beautiful you can't stop looking at them. A gorgeous setting for hiking, swimming, and visiting charming little towns.
Een plek waar je geniet en tot rust komt met uitzicht zo mooi dat je niet kunt ophouden met kijken. Prachtige omgeving om te wandelen, zwemmen en mooie stadjes te bezoeken.
What a wonderful place—a little slice of paradise. Beautiful views, peace and quiet, sunshine, lovely hosts, and a cozy place to stay. We enjoyed everything the house and the surrounding area have to offer.

We went on beautiful nature walks, visited caves with prehistoric drawings, and villages de caractère and, of course, the gorge of the Ardèche.
We hebben mooie natuurwandelingen gemaakt, grotten met prehistorische tekeningen, en villages de caractère bezocht en natuurlijk de gorge de Ardèche.
A great authentic cottage with phenomenal views of the nature of the Ardèche. The Dutch managers are very hospitable and happy to give you information about what you can do. Upon arrival you can even have a meal with them if you like. Definitely do it!

What a wonderful week we spent in the finely decorated studio, with great attention to detail, like the wonderfully scented lavender bags on the pillow. Fresh, clean and attractive! And especially the wonderful week outside on the pleasant terrace, with the beautiful view every day. Also very nice the extensive folder with documentation. We have walked all walks from here and that was early in the morning on the road before the heat back in the cool studio to be (what almost every time succeeded ...) Anneke and Dominique: warm, helpful and hospitable hostess and gentleman
wat een heerlijke week hebben we doorgebracht in de fijn ingerichte studio, met veel oog voor detail, zoals de heerlijk geurende lavendelzakjes op het kussen. Fris, schoon en aantrekkelijk! En vooral de heerlijke week buiten op het aangename terras, met elke dag weer het schitterende uitzicht. Ook heel fijn de uitgebreide map met documentatie. We hebben alle wandelingen vanaf hier gelopen en dat was 's morgens vroeg op pad om voor de warmte weer terug te zijn in de heerlijk koele studio (wat bijna elke keer lukte...).
