Property details

This beautifully restored farmhouse tucked into the pine-covered mountains of Ardèche is a dream for nature lovers and peace seekers. With only one neighbor nearby and direct access to scenic hiking trails, it’s the perfect escape for those craving tranquility and fresh mountain air. Just 2 km away lies the charming village of Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid, home to the renowned Clos des Cimes-Découverte Hotel&Spa — a 3-star Michelin experience that’s a must for culinary enthusiasts. Whether you're indulging in gourmet cuisine or unwinding at the spa, it’s a luxurious complement to your rustic retreat. Inside, the farmhouse exudes warmth and character. Antique furnishings, thick stone walls, and cozy box beds create a timeless ambiance. In summer, the cool interiors offer respite from the heat, while in winter, underfloor heating and a roaring fireplace make it irresistibly snug. The region offers a buffet of outdoor adventures — cycling, canoeing, horse riding, climbing, and even windsurfing or sailing on Lac de Devesset. Just be mindful: the final stretch to the house is a rugged dirt road, so leave the sports car behind and embrace the off-road charm.Secluded Stone Villa Retreat

beautiful, quietly located house. In the middle of the woods. Perfectly suited for relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. Warmly welcomed by Luc. He is the neighbor, albeit at some distance, who is there for you. As described, the road to the cottage, about 200 m, is difficult to navigate and steep. It can be done with an unloaded passenger car. The Wi-Fi didn't work during our stay, but it did give us wonderful old-fashioned peace and quiet.

An exceptional welcome from Luc. We had some doubts when we arrived, given the comments left by a previous guest, but they turned out to be completely false, as we were welcomed with great care and kindness. The only slightly annoying point is the chaotic access road, but that didn't stop us from having a great stay.

The house is very pleasant to live in. It's a bit difficult to access because the road is a bit rough, but the person in charge of welcoming you is very friendly and responsive. He loads your luggage into his 4x4 and takes you to this lovely house. My children were delighted. It's a haven of peace, tastefully decorated, and it feels like home. Unfortunately, due to the measures to combat COVID-19, we had to leave in a hurry on Tuesday, March 17 at 8:00 AM, well before the end of our stay, to return to our place of quarantine.
