Sleeps: Four self-catering authentic holiday cottages with lots of privacy. Ideally suited for 4 adults, or up to 5 or 6 people depending on family requirements and ages.
Location: Enjoy space, nature, views, peace and quiet, right in the heart of the Ardèche. These four comfortable holiday cottages, 10 kms from Aubenas and a 15mins drive from the Gorges d'Ardèche, are part of a 15th century olive oil mill and beautifully restored to an exceptional standard. This small scale estate offers a 12x5 m outdoor swimming pool, beautiful and large garden, a little river running next to the estate with a private beach, pools for swimming, and much more.

Take a leisurely walk through cosy medieval villages and towns. Taste the local specialties at the farmers' market. Go shopping in Aubenas. Go horse or pony riding, fishing or mountain-biking. Visit some of the many caves, or for the more adventurous, go tree or rock climbing. Relax in our Finnish sauna with jacuzzi, lazily do nothing on our terraces at the spring water-filled swimming pool, or watch the sun set behind the hills while the coals glow in the barbecue on your private terrace. We also offer Tables d’Hôtes: bring your chair to the old linden tree at night to enjoy our homemade paella and sangria.
