Valence is just 30 minutes away.
Guest Access The entire property is yours to enjoy, including the front yard. The horse pastures are fenced with electric wire, marking the boundaries of your designated area. Riders are welcome to bring their horses; special rates are available upon request. We’d be happy to show you the orchard, the chicken coop, the permaculture garden, and the horses. During chestnut season, we can point out the best spots in our forest for gathering a basketful.
During your stay We live in the house next door on the same property but have a separate entrance. We have no neighbors directly across from us, but I’m available and can be reached every day.
Other notes It is prohibited to enter the horse paddocks without our permission. Any pets travelling with you must be disclosed at the time of booking.

Un joli gîte bien aménagé et propre, avec tout ce qu’il faut : comme à la maison mais en mieux avec ce cadre magnifique.
La literie est confortable, il fait vraiment bon vivre dans ce petit cocon paisible et propice à la détente.
Allez-y les yeux fermés c’est une pépite 🤩
L'appartement est cosy, chaleureux, la déco est très de très bon goût, pratique, calme et bien situé.
Les propriétaires sont super impliqué, ils connaissent bien leur région, car les conseils de visites sont variés et et ciblés
Nous voulions du calme, du grand air et des chemins de balades magiques, et tout y est. Alison et Florent ont fait un vrai petit cocon dans lequel nous nous sommes senti "comme à la maison" pendant quatre jours.
Huisje ligt op een zeer rustige plek. Mag er vuurtje stoken en hond is geen probleem. Mocht er ook loslopen. Afstand dichtstbijzijnde dorp is 5 km. Alles met de auto doen. Maar voor de rust komen is super.
Petit coin au calme avec accès sur toutes commodites
Location idéale pour un séjour en famille à 4. Plusieurs chemins d rando sont à proximité offrant ainsi la possibilité de profiter de la nature sans devoir prendre un véhicule motorisé. Les propriétaires sont discrets mais présents en cas de besoin. Nous conseillons cet établissement et renouvèlerons probablement une location
