About this property

Charming house with lovely garden and river Beaume 3km

La Clède is a charming 250 year old property set in its own delightful large garden (2000SqM) with views over the stunning countryside in the Southern Ardeche and accessed via a paved road that winds up through the vineyards. Ribes consists of around 20 enchanting hamlets in this award winning area, set amidst the Parc Naturel Règional des Monts d‘Ardèche.

With its Mediterranean climate spring arrives early, the summer is long and the autumn months divine. There is a large covered sun terrace for alfresco dining. The delightful well-established terraced garden offers an endless choice of spots to sit in the sun or cool off in the shade, all with plenty of seating.

La Clède has recently undergone a major refurbishment programme and is tastefully modernised whilst making use of the natural features and materials. The comprehensively and newly equipped kitchen is complete with dishwasher and a large fridge freezer to help make self-catering as easy as possible. All bedrooms are en-suite including a newly built high end bathroom. Wifi is available and there is plenty of private parking in front of the property for two vehicles.

Ribes is located on a sunny promintary close to the town of Joyeuse with its weekly well renowned market. The river Beaume is a short distance away and is great for splashing about with the children or simply relaxing on one of the small sandy beaches.

The area around Ribes has many beautiful walks starting from the property, cycling both on and off road is simply superb, bike hire is available nearby. Canoeing/kayaking down the Ardeche Gorge is very popular with an easily accessible, but far less commercialised start point of Balazuc, a well renowned "beau village".

wonderful holiday
Wonderful landscape and place to stay .. holiday together and still enough space for all family members when wanted, inside and outside the house - for teenagers + parents. Everything is like in the description and more...The house is spacious and tastefully decorated, well equipped and clean. During our stay it was hot but we found several nice places just a short drive away at the river to take a refreshing bath or even swim.. Very nice and easy communication with advice and support from Julie and Mike. Thanks for everything!

Séjour à La Clède
Nous avons passé deux semaines idylliques à La Clède. La maison est absolument merveilleuse, elle a un très grand charme et une véritable âme. De plus, elle est parfaitement équipée. Quant au jardin, c'est un régal de pouvoir y passer du temps, au gré de la journée et des envies. Il est tout simplement magique. Le cadre est magnifique, et Mike et Julie sont des hôtes parfaits. D'une grande gentillesse, réactifs, pleins de bon conseils, et très accueillants... Notre séjour a été une réussite. Nous espérons bien revenir un jour à La Clède! We spent two idyllic weeks at La Clède. The house is absolutely wonderful, it has a great charm and a real soul. It is also perfectly equipped. As for the garden, it is a delight to be able to spend time in it, depending on the day and the mood. It is simply enchanting. Not only is the setting beautiful but Mike and Julie are perfect hosts. Very kind, responsive, full of good advice, and very welcoming... Our stay was a success. We hope to return to La Clède one day!

About the host

Hosted by Julie & Mike Ayres

Host profile image
Mike and Julie live in England and have known each other for over 40 years. Mike ran his own kitchen and bathroom company in the UK and decided to use his many talents to renovate a new home in the South of France. He's done the vast majority of work himself and has very exacting standards. Mike is a very keen road cyclist and the riding in the area is simply stunning, he is also an enthusiastic cook. Julie has recently retired from working at Gatwick Airport and now hopes to spend more time in France. They both love walking, visiting local markets and the wonderfully relaxed French way of life.

When in Ribes, Julie & Mike, occupy an adjoining 400 year old property. If they are around they are always discreet, but on hand to help with anything to make your holiday really special.

Why they chose this property

Mike and Julie saw the property in a property magazine that one of their sons bought Mike for his birthday. They'd been looking for a while but simply fell in love with La Clede and its history, having been previously owned by an English couple whose parents bought it back in 1963. It was meant to be. They bought the property in September 2015 and set about its renovation almost immediately.

What makes this property unique

La Clede is a charming officially rated 3* property with a lovely large garden and many places to sit both in and out of the sun with simply delightful views. It just makes you feel so relaxed. The Mediterranean style climate is wonderful, beautifully sunny but not as hot as further south and there's usually a gentle cooling breeze, the mistral rarely blows here. From the house walks through the forests are lovely and the cycling is stunning with many local cols. The river Beaume is close by and is great fun to splash around in, whether you're young or old. The historic town of Joyeuse with its famous weekly market is close by and has all the shops you need.
