A sunny welcome to this naturehouse! A private, furnished, self-service vacation rental (Gîte) in the heart of rural Ardeche, France. This gîte offers the best of rural charm, with scenic views and abundant nature at your doorstep! Perched on a North-facing hillside overlooking the village of Desaignes, the recently renovated rented half of this traditional 19th Century granite stone building contains: two good-sized double bedrooms; a showeroom & WC; a colourful fully-fitted kitchen; and an inviting and warm living-room/dining-area with wood burner. The positioning of the property, and the thickness of its walls, ensure that it remains cool during the hot summer months and that it retains an enclosed and cosy feel. Surrounding the property, you will find a picturesque landscaped garden offering stunning panoramic views. Including a fruit orchard, large pond area with seating, and a patio overlooking the rolling hills and valley of the Issarteaux.

Nature and surroundings

Being located deep within a Nature Parc, provides this gite with a surrounding of outstanding natural beauty. With kestrels nesting within the building, alcoves, owls and cuckoos perching in the surrounding woodlands, and the occasional buzzard patrolling the area, this is a bird lovers paradise in particular! The area also offers plenty of cultural highlights, with the scenic market town of Lamastre and the historic Village de Caractere of Desaignes around 15-20 minutes drive away. Sample the delights of the Lamastre farmers market, take a peak inside the 14th Century Chateau de Desaignes or hop onboard the steam train Mastrou for a tour of the Gorges du Doux - this area offers plenty to indulge the senses! We hope that this idyllic, charming and nature-rich setting will provide for a relaxing and truly memorable vacation!

    The cottage is located between 2 houses (1 owned by the owner). It is located on a ridge so the temperature is not too bad in summer. It is quietly situated along a dirt road with hardly any traffic. You can park your car at the neighbor's house. The garden is shared with the owner and is divided into 2 levels (not flat) so it does not feel spacious. The trees take care that you cannot see the beautiful view on the valley and Désaignes from the garden, which is a pity. At the lowest level of the garden it goes down deep, so you cannot let your children play there. The house has 2 separate bedrooms so you can stay with 4, but it was too small for us to comfortably stay with 4 and have a day of doing nothing. Only 1 toilet in a very narrow bathroom, the skylights of the largest bedroom you can not open without a ladder nor darken. In the 2nd room there is no possibility to store your clothes. There is no charging station even though it was indicated.

    Beautiful hilly landscape of Ardeche with chestnut groves and mixed forests. Quiet surroundings. Beautiful walks, meandering rivers. Very nice!

    Stille plek temidden van een mooie omgeving. Ideaal om tot rust te komen en te wandelen. Een (elektrische) fietstocht langsheen de voormalige spoorweg vanuit Lamastre (Dolce Via) is een aanrader om de omgeving te ontdekken.

    Ongelooflijk rustige plek te midden van de heuvels in de Noordelijke Ardèche.
