Lovely relaxing holiday house

Our family (10 of us) loved our stay. The house was really well equipped and such an interesting building. There were lots of places to sit and relax whilst the kids could play games or swim. The night skies are magic to gaze at from the terrace. Lots of historical places to visit too.

Unbelievable house in south of France

We were blown away by this property. It was even more beautiful and larger than the photos capture. All of the amenities work perfectly and add to the fun - we loved the outdoor kitchen and dining, the pool including lounge chairs, the tennis court including balls and racquets as well as many other games! The hosts were kind and helped show us around at the start of our trip. The location is also amazing as you can walk right out the door into national park hiking routes. The perfect place to go away with a big group of friends or family and amazing value for money. Thank you to Aaditya and family for having us.

De grands espaces intérieurs et extérieurs à quelques minutes d'un petit village surmonté d'un château.. Accueil parfait, chambres spacieuses et coquettes toutes avec douche et toilettes sauf celle des enfants qui est sur le palier.

Bel hébergement dans un bel endroit

Nous étions huit (nous devions être 10 au départ), et avons apprécié les cinq chambres indépendantes dont trois intégrant salle de bain/WC. Le lieu est superbe, avec des possibilités de promenades étendues, des installations de détente appropriées (piscine, cour de tennis, boulodrome, terrain de beach-volley, ...).Pour les emplacements communs, très belle salle intérieure avec grande cuisine et salle à manger, et salon séparé. A l'extérieur, cuisine et grande table salon d'extérieur agréables (même si la météo n'était pas là). Enfin, à signaler, une salle dédiée au billard!!!Pour ce qui concerne les balades à proximité, le village voisin de Labastide-De-Virac offre la visite d'un superbe château et d'un musée de la soie. Ensuite c'est la basse-Ardéche, avec la grotte Chauvet 2 (à visiter!!!), Vallon Pont d'Arc, les gorges de l'Ardèche, l'aven d'Organc, Balazuc, SainteBeaume, .... le tout dans un rayon de 20 km!Donc, je recommande ce lieu.

Sejour parfait

Nous avons passé un merveilleux week-end. Le gîte est magnifique ainsi que ses équipements. Les enfants ont adoré pratiqué basket, tennis et autres. Et l'ensemble de la famille a pu se retrouver et se reposer dans ce lieu magnifique. Le propriétaire a été très sympa et est resté disponible pendant notre sejour. Nous avons déjà l'intention de passer un autre week-end dans cet espace de tranquillité.
