About this property
Country tranquility: 400 yrs old, 6 bedrooms, sleeps 14-16, private pool/sauna
The 300+ square meter, 400-year-old Mas on the west edge of the Plateau de Coiron overlooks vineyards and lavender fields, and on the horizon, the Cevennes. Luxuriously restored first in 2002, then again in 2011 and 2013 with a new pool deck, new Finnish sauna, eight-person jacuzzi, new indoor and outdoor kitchens that seat 16, and a complete renovation of the adjoining barn, the Mas sleeps 16 in its six large bedrooms - five with queen size beds, one a bunk style room that comfortably sleeps up to six children in four large beds. Five of the bedrooms overlook the 10 x 5 meter heated salt-water swimming pool (no chlorine! But unavailable during the winter months as there is danger of freezing pipes.), the Ardeche river valley, and the sunset horizon 80km to the west. There are four full bathrooms, all with separate toilets (continental European style). The kitchen is fully equipped, ready for the epicurean gourmands, and there is a second, outdoor kitchen next to an outdoor dining pergola. The private garden is surrounded by raspberry and blackberry bushes, and basil, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, verveine abound...
PLEASE NOTE - this house is made for families, NOT for parties. We consider anything music being played loud enough to disturb the neighbors after 10pm to be a party. 16 people is the maximum number of guests. Some of our neighbours have health issues and we really do not want to put their health at risk. We want you to be able to celebrate from the house but we have a STRICT NO-PARTY POLICY.
French law has an automatic fine for noise complaints each time the police are called. If a party disturbs the neighbours (they will call us) or the guest numbers exceed the number designated during booking, the security deposit will be forfeited.
Guest access
Full use of the whole house including the two kitchens (one indoor fully equipped, one outdoor with dishwasher, sink and refrigerator) and exclusive use of the heated saltwater swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna.
Interaction with guests
You will be greeted by Elodie, who cleans the Mas, and is a great source of local information. If anything goes wrong with the house or you cannot find something, PLEASE first refer to the information sheets that are placed around the house...they really do answer almost every question you could have. If something is broken, please let her know as soon as possible so we can have it repaired. She makes a good attempt with English, so prepare to practice your French (or have google translate ready)!

Our favorite places:
Balazuc – Beautiful, and great place to swim. Much less crowded than Vallon Pont D’Arc. Other water sport favorites are the streams that descend from the Massif Central – towards Antregues, and Le Puy. Pont de Diable is great – go early to beat the crowds.
Villages: Our favorites include: Alba-La-Romaine, Miribel, L’Argentiere, St Pierreville, Avignon, Viviers, Uzes, Vals les Bains
Ardeche is the world chestnut capital. The beams of the house are chestnut, many of the trees outside are chestnut. Visit the 'Museum de Chataignes' in Joyeuse. Enjoy 'marron glaces' (candied chestnuts), or simply a salad l'Ardechoise (with chestnuts & goat's cheese!).
Guilleme
Bourganel – Ardeche’s local beer – you can tour the brewery in Vals-les-Bains. They make lager (blonde), and then several local varieties; chestnut, blueberry, miele de chataigne, verveine. Closed on Mondays.
Vineyards - There are many local vineyards, and local 'caves', (collectives) in the villages. Southern Ardeche is home to the Cote du Rhone appellation, the oldest wine growing district in France...try the Grand Ardeche from Louis Latour. You can visit Latour’s chardonnay caves in Alba-la-Romaine.
