60th birthday treat
The house and grounds are spacious, well-equipped and match the expectations set by the photographs. It is ideal for a group holiday such as ours and provides a great space for outdoors living. A small criticism, but some things were a little "tired" and in need of some attention. For example, the decking around the pool needs oiling and is starting to splinter.
The house is in a quite location on the outskirts of the village and we were undisturbed by neighbours. The centre of the pretty, medieval village of Alba La-Romaine is a short walk away and where there are shops to meet holiday catering needs as well as a couple of restaurants. There is a wine merchants at the end of the lane and a diverse street market every Sunday. We were disappointed that a classical concert in the castle had been cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.
There is plenty to do locally: walking, cycling (bicycles can be rented in the village) and sight seeing the local villages and Roman ruins. We would recommend: swimming and via ferrata at the Pont du Diable, canoeing at Vallon Pont d'Arc, frisbee golf at Le Tiel and sight-seeing the nearby town of Viviers.
Frederic and Maeva were good hosts and did their best to ensure we had a good stay.
We would recommend this as a holiday destination.
