Surrounded by green hills and mountains, you’ll find this little paradise in the Southern Ardèche—un petit coin de paradis, as the French so beautifully put it. An ideal spot for active travelers seeking peace and quiet. In this charming and comfortable nature house, you can enjoy the tranquility, beautiful natural surroundings, and a sense of freedom. A lovely cottage where many guests love to return. When you look out through the large arched windows, it feels as if you’re sitting right in the middle of the view. A beautiful French stone wall surrounds the private terrace (16 m), so you can sit there feeling secure, surrounded by this breathtaking nature. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the living room is nice and spacious; everything is on one level. There is a separate bedroom with a double bed that is 1.60 m wide, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet in the hallway. It’s not too remote—within ten minutes you’ll be in Vals-les-Bains, a large village with plenty of shops and restaurants. The Dutch owners will be happy to show you the way.

Nature and surroundings

This nature house is located in the Ardèche, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Monts d'Ardèche, a vast nature reserve with many hiking and biking trails and close to numerous swimming spots. The landscape here is incredibly diverse: oak and coniferous forests, vineyards, chestnut and fruit orchards, rivers with deep gorges, and quiet, rural roads. There are many natural wonders to see, such as the Ray-Pic waterfall, Mont Gerbier de Jonc, the Vallon Pont d’Arc, Chier de Borée, the Pont du Diable, and the stunning Gorges de l’Ardèche. The surrounding area is home to many old and picturesque villages with charming squares, outdoor cafes, shops, wineries, and restaurants: Vals-les-Bains, Aubenas, Jaujac, Joyeuse, Vogüé, Mirabel, Balazuc, Labeaume, Largentière, and Antraigues. This is a great place for hiking, swimming, fishing, mountain biking, or road cycling, as well as canoeing, rock climbing, and canyoning. The comprehensive information folder lists many more beautiful and unique spots.

    This cottage is spacious, cozy, and clean. They’ve thought of everything—we wanted for nothing. The bed is freshly made, and there are towels and kitchen linens that are restocked as needed. There’s a spacious refrigerator with a freezer compartment, a spacious kitchen, and a nice walk-in shower off the bedroom. And if you need anything, the owners are nearby and easy to reach. They’re always willing to offer suggestions and help you out if needed. They gave us great tips on activities, restaurants, and places to swim. Very friendly hosts!

    We went on many hikes in the area. There was a lovely stream nearby where we cooled off on hot days. There are plenty of charming villages and towns nearby that are worth visiting. The area really surprised us. Spacious, green, and varied. To go canoeing, you do have to drive a bit, but it’s well worth it to experience the Ardèche this way!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The view is spectacular, and it’s incredibly peaceful! You don’t hear any traffic—just the chirping of the swallows. You have a sweeping view of the mountains and the greenery. The cottage has a large terrace with plenty of space to relax outdoors. And if you choose to stay inside, you’ll still enjoy a wide view of the outdoors. Two other cottages are available for rent at this small-scale vacation complex, but thanks to their well-spaced layout, you won’t be disturbed by the others and can enjoy your own privacy.

    It is a very bright cottage. Both from the cottage and the terrace you have a beautiful view over the green valley. And the cottage is really fully equipped. Everything is there to relax. Good sofa, bed, chair, dining table and seating to sit outside. The cottage is tastefully decorated, which gave us a real feeling of home. Anneke and Do are very cozy, helpful and friendly. They like to think along if you need what to do in the area. Really a must to go here. We have already booked again :-).
