Gîte for 2 people near Les Vans, at the start of hiking trails

Cottage for 2 people, ideal for hikers and lovers of tranquility.

A few kilometers, you can also visit the gorges of the Ardèche and all the typical villages (Naves, Balazuc, ...)

What's nearby

  • This is just one of many spectacular views from a walk entitled "Pas Du Loup". We started at Capluc, a cross on a peak above Le Rozier and did the entire circuit. It's still comfortably in my top ten all time great walks. If you suffer acrophobia it's one to be avoided. The area is also something of a mecca for rock climbers. The whole Goreg du Tarn is a special place for me because the tourist buses don't go there and it's reputedly the deepest gorge in Europe.

Lovely property in the lower Ardèche mountains

The property was perfect for a 12 day holiday. Close enough to all amenities but far away to get a private feel away from daily hassle. Emanuel’le and Serge are lovely hosts, very war and welcoming. The property is beautifully located on the hillside in a very quite little hamlet. Absolutely beautiful. And of course the hosts cannot help the weather was awful :-)

Bezauberndes Dorf in den Bergen - tolle Natur und Menschen. Es gibt eine schöne Badestelle auf dem Weg zur Wohnung - wenn man von unten kommt steht in einer Kurve eine Art Sandkiste auf der rechten Seite und links geht ein unbefestigter Weg in den Wald. Dort einfach mal das Auto direkt an der Straße parken und dann links in den Wald reinlaufen. Der Abstieg ist teilweise etwas beschwerlich, aber es lohnt sich. Mehrere andere leichter erreichbare Badestellen liegen entlang der Straße. Unsere Kanufahrt auf dem Chassezac war einer der Höhepunkte des Aufenthalts. Im Sommer ist im Ort jede Woche donnertags am Abend einer kleiner Markt mit musikalischer Unterhaltung und Bewirtung. Auf jeden Fall mal hingehen. Die ausschließlich französischsprachige Begrüßung durch Serge war nett und es gab auch ein paar tolle Hinweise für die Umgebung/ den Aufenthalt. Seine Frau Emmanuelle spricht ergänzend Englisch. Generell sind gute Französichkenntnisse für einen Urlaub in dieser Gegend absolut zu empfehlen. Das Haus ist praktisch eingerichtet und es ist so weit alles da, was man braucht. Erwähnen möchten wir auch kurz, dass das Bad direkt in den Schlafbereich integriert ist und man so alle Lebenssituationen teilt. Wenn wir nochmal zu zweit Urlaub in der Gegend machen, übernachten wir gern wieder hier.

Très agreable séjour au calme

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour ! Une belle vue de la terrasse, dans un petit hameau calme, possibilité de balader sans prendre la voiture, mais pas trop éloigné des commodités. L'accueil est chaleureux et les conseils d'Emmanuelle au top. Le logement est pratique et a tout le nécessaire. La chambre et la salle de bain/WC ne sont pas séparés par une cloison, cela ne nous a pas gênés mais il est bon de le savoir.

Entschleunigen am Fuss der Cevennen! Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Praktisch eingerichtete kleine Wohnung mit gemütlichem Sitzplatz. Ruhige Lage in verträumtem Weiler über dem Tal des Chassezac. Ideal gelegen für Wanderungen, Bike- und Velotouren. Wir haben es sehr genossen. Herzlichen Dank!

Dépaysement

Propriété en adéquation avec l'annonce. Idéalement située pour des départs de randonnées, avec une vue magnifique sur la vallée. Maison difficile à trouver la première fois, et place de parking restreinte. La vaisselle n'était pas propre, et les fourmis nous ont tenues compagnie tout le long de notre séjour. Il manquerait quelques équipements pour que le séjour puisse être encore plus agréable (wifi, télé) surtout quand les beaux jours ne sont pas au rendez vous. Malgré cela, vacances très agréables et reposantes dans un lieu magnifique.
