Completed in 2020, this is a beautiful modern home in the Rhône Alps region of the south of France. Ideal for a warm break with use of the pool during the months of May, June and September, or an autumn/winter/spring visit enjoying the surrounding nature and nights around an open fire. Please note, the house isn’t available for LHS swaps during July and August as it is rented out each summer.
A huge terrace with infinity pool perched on a rock ledge looks out onto wooded hillsides in the near distance. Three air conditioned bedrooms, 85m2 open plan living area with kitchen and open fire for cosy winter evenings. 450+ Mbps WiFi.
Underfloor heating, wine fridge, quality electrical appliances, UK and French TV stations, 2 bathrooms with walk in showers
The property is situated in the Ardeche region of France about 2 hrs 15 minutes drive from the airports of Lyon and Marseille, and about 1hr 45 minutes drive from Nîmes airport. The location is rural and quiet, but there is the convenience of a large supermarket only 7 minutes away in Ruoms, along with bars, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. At 25 minutes drive is the Grotte Chauvet 2 . This site is an exact replica of the 35 000 year old cave paintings found close to the nearby village of Vallon Pont d’Arc in 1994. The original cave has UNESCO World Heritage status. 25 minutes pleasant walking will find you in the gorgeous next door village of Labeaume with its river and limestone cliffs. There is also a beach and a number of reasonably priced restaurants here (open May, June and September).
Paris is under 3 hours on the train from the closest rail station, and the beautiful cities of Lyon, Avignon and Aix en Provence are 2 - 2 hours 30minutes drive away.
Walking, mountain biking, visiting vineyards, canoeing on the Ardeche river, local markets, great restaurants, or just simply enjoying the house.
The house is rented to holiday makers during the months of July and August via Abritel France, and we currently enjoy a customer rating of 4.9/5. You can visit our reviews by searching on the Abritel France site entering the property reference number 10669186 in the ‘Destination’ box
We can accommodate non simultaneous swaps as we have a separate gite at the property.
Please note:

“Exactly what it looks like. A modern beautifully positioned place with a wonderful view. Lee is a very good host and communicates well. Local towns are lovely with some excellent walks. The house has been well thought through and is a very relaxing place to be”
“Lee's and Andrea's house is simply magic - oasis of peace and quiet and so very comfortable. We spent days lounging by the pool, entranced by the view (it's even nicer than in the photos), reading books in a shade of a tree or chilling in the pool: so relaxing and very much needed in our case. Lee is a wonderful host, house was spotlessly clean and he thought of every convenience possible (from lemon- squeezer to the ice cube tray, it's all there :) . Lee himself is very easy to communicate with , and fun and interesting person (we were lucky to meet him, share few beers and lots of good laughs :) . We would be very happy to come back- it is just wonderful! ”
“We had a great time spending our Easter holidays in St Alban. We were lucky to have great weather and Lee’s property was perfect to enjoy it. The terrace is perfect for unwinding and we loved the lounging pouffs so much we are going to get the same ones ”
“Had an amazing time at an amazing place. Lee was a great host, he couldn’t be more helpful and provided plenty recommendations for the local area. Just a small walk to the baker and shop. The pool was very nice and clean. We will be back. ”
Lee and Andrea. We’re a couple dividing our time between our homes in the UK and France.
Lee designs and builds his own properties in the south of France and Andrea works in hospitality.
We’re both warm and friendly, love travel and meeting new people.
