About this property

In the heart of a still wild and unspoiled Ardèche valley, recharge your batteries in our house perched in the hamlet of Chalvèche, overlooking a still secret valley in the commune of Faugères.

Breathtaking view of the meadows, the banks, the forest and the horizon. At an altitude of 450m, this sublime setting will encourage you to relax and contemplate.

In freestone, independent, with a large private garden, a terrace, our recently renovated place welcomes you for unforgettable moments as a couple, family or friends. On hot days, cool off in the local Le Salindre river at the Pont du Moulinas and bubble in the shade of the sycamore tree in our garden open to the valley. In the cool evenings, warm up in front of our wood stove in a modern and authentic atmosphere.

Discover the many hikes, horseback riding and cycling from the house and the village of Faugères. Dare the canoe-kayak descent of Chassezac or Ardèche 15 minutes by car. Enjoy one of the largest markets in the region in the nearby town of Les Vans. Visit the most beautiful medieval villages of France a few kilometers away. For thrill seekers and experienced athletes, try canyoning, rafting, climbing, caving, paragliding in the area.

Our neighboring producers also offer goat cheese, honey, olive oil and quality wines.

Entspannte Herbstferien

Wir waren Mitte Oktober Faugères. Das Wetter meinte es gut mit uns und wir konnten tagsüber Temperaturen von 19 bis 21 Grad genießen. Die Abende haben wir vor dem gemütlichen Kaminofen verbracht. Dessen Wärme wird auch benötigt, da es nachts doch schon recht kühl war. Dankbar waren wir unserer Gastgeberin für den Hinweis, eine Säge einzupacken, denn das Kaminholz musste noch auf Länge geschnitten werden. Auch Anzünder hatten wir dabei, was sehr hilfreich war. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen. Allerdings scheint zu dieser Jahreszeit nur für etwas zwei Stunden die Sonne auf die schöne Terrasse, so dass wir regelmäßig auf den oberhalb des Hauses verlaufenden Wanderweg ausgewichen sind, um in der Sonne zu sitzen und die Aussicht zu genießen. Der Kontakt zu unserer Vermieterin war super - ganz herzlichen Dank dafür!

Juste parfait et très calme

Emplacement retiré des zones touristiques, dans un petit hameau de maisons, c’est vraiment très tranquille à la fin août, même avec les voisins. Maison agréable, suffisamment "fraîche" grâce à la pierre, et suffisamment à l'ombre pour le jardin ou la terrasse. Il y a tout le nécessaire de base. Jolies balades tout de suite à pied. La propriétaire est au petit soin dans la communication, et la personne qui vous accueille est attentionnée. En bref, habitation à recommander !
