About this property

In the heart of a secret Ardèche Valley

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.
