Small Chateau with Private Pool, Edge of Village, Stunning Views
Upper Ardeche Valley, 17th Century Manor, Ideal for two Families Sharing
Sleeps 16 (8 Bedrooms)
|
|
On the edge of the village of Lalevade, with mountain views all round and a stream flowing through the 1.4 hectare walled garden, this fine, large 17th century manor house is a fabulous place just to relax in. Or use it as a base for exploring the Ardeche river valley and mountains. Great outdoor activities - kayaking and river swimming, hill-walking, cycling round the Ardeche's vineyards and famous villages. For the tourist, Avignon is just over an hour. Or just spend a week by the pool soaking in the sun and the view. The large accomodation offers everything you need. Ideal for two families sharing, but very comfortable for fewer with one bedroom wing not used.
