Nature house in A SAINT-MELANY

A charming and authentic nature house made of natural stone, nestled in the unspoiled nature of the Ardèche. Here you can enjoy peace, quiet, and endless views. Dogs are welcome, although the property is not fenced. The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious, cozy living area. Inside, you’ll find a cabinet full of board games and art supplies for all ages. There are two bedrooms with double beds and a large open mezzanine with two extra beds and a sleeper sofa. Ideal for 6 people, with room for up to 7 guests. Outside, you can choose between a smaller front patio or a large sun deck in the back with lounge chairs and a spacious dining table. Perfect for enjoying a glass of wine, local sausage, and long summer evenings. Thanks to the complete privacy, you can truly relax here undisturbed. Workation? Sure. There’s perfect internet via Starlink. That was before we knew what a massive dickhead Elon Musk was. But it does work fantastically well.

Fancy a refreshing dip in nature? Just 3 km away are two beautiful spots along the river. Within walking distance of the house—about 1.5 km—you’ll find a cozy bistro serving delicious local dishes.
