The best gites Ardèche

Far from the stress of the city, in the middle of a nature of breathtaking beauty regardless of season, here is a "smart plan" that adapts both to a loving couple and to a large family or a bunch of friends. Large spaces as well outside - to discover with a guide - that inside with six fully renovated and comfortably furnished rooms. In summer you can enjoy the leisure complex nearby - swimming pool, tennis court… - and in winter you can enjoy beautiful snowshoes.

A real hamlet of hosts at the edge of Vallon-Pont-d 'Arc. This area is deployed around an inner courtyard with views of the vineyards. Old restored farm buildings, beautifully furnished stables, Italian basin style swimming pool, all there for your serenity and well-being, in the shadow of two beautiful platanes.

And don't worry the gentlemen are also accepted in this Domaine des Dames!

Here, we really have a choice of accommodation: the Bergerie with its pretty rooms, the cottages, the caravan or the guest rooms. The various small lounges and its large heated terrace in winter give this place the feeling of being at home, being able to isolate itself or on the contrary sharing moments of conviviality à la carte. A place that is difficult to leave because it is so full: horse riding, ski-joëring, equestrian shows, swimming pools, sauna, spa, hammam, sports hall with a vibrating platform (Powerplate style), bicycle, treadmill, weight bench, rower... Everything you need for the calm and well-being of body and mind.

Cathie, Serge and their three daughters invite us to school truancy near Vals-les-Bains, in the heart of a charming countryside village.

The apartments have been renovated in a functional way and all modern comforts are in addition to a touch of elegance. Each apartment has a nice terrace to organise a barbecue between friends and pool. In the programme of this school, nap under the chestnut or hiking area, ping-pong or baby-soccer tournaments, and enjoy the benefits of the nearby spa town.
