Maison de campagne ancienne avec piscine

An extremely beautiful and interesting place.so much history and quality, space and atmosphere. The swimming pool very popular with the children. Plenty of places to get together , play or cook, but also to be quiet and read a book! We liked the absence of screens and generous supply of fans too!A v minor request would be a full canopy over the outside table by the BBQ, and a better supply of spices as not many in the shop.We have also put a sink plug in the kitchen, and appreciated the compost buckets! A glass disposal container might be good too.Parking is a bit of an issue and should probably be mentioned on the website.This was an important event for our family, it had far more character than the website revealed and Gaby was always friendly and helpful .

We were a party of 6 and had a wonderful week at this property. Gaby was attentive, helpful and there whenever we needed her. The house is rustic and elegant; we had wonderful evenings on the terrace with the mountain view and in the covered terrace with its pizza oven. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful house in its charming village setting. Thank you Gaby! Becky & Roger

We all enjoyed staying in this roomy , relaxed and beautiful house in small village, which had been rented by two separate families we knew. . Lots of space and shady corners inside and out and small but fresh pool , both very necessary in the intense heat Gaby was very welcoming and accommodating , and i would certainly recommend the house to others

Bellegarde is a lovely characterful house which is spacious and comfortable, set in an attractive village in the Ardeche. It was August and hot but we had fun times by the pool, swimming in the Chassezac river, going on hikes, visiting Thines with its 12th century church and a market at Joyeuse. Gaby and Kiril were delightful and friendly hosts.

We loved the house and we loved the owner, Gaby! The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was beautifully stocked. We all played table tennis/ping pong and enjoyed the gorgeous pool which was just the thing during the heat wave. Gaby was such a genial host, on site when you needed her, but invisible otherwise. She steered us toward terrific outings and would have been happy to help us arrange a catered dinner or in home massages (Sadly, we ran out of time for both-next time maybe!) The village of Lagorce is extremely picturesque and has everything you need—an épicerie, à pizzeria, a fine restaurant, vineyards all around. And the people who live there are so kind. I cannot say enough good things about the house—the outdoor areas are great, the views are spectacular, and the furnishings wonderful. If you are looking for a house rental that is off the beaten track, this is it! BONUS: THE WIFI WAS GREAT!! It enabled several people to work remotely at the same time.

We were a family of 14, a mixture of adults, children and 2 dogs from the UK and the US. Gaby was on hand to help with everything and able to advise us of some good places to go and things to do. We loved relaxing and playing in the pool and the garden was a great place to explore. We spent a day at the river, jumping off rocks and swimming as the water was warm enough, we walked to a local winery and tasted and bought some lovely wine. The walk we did with the dogs every day was a fun hike. We made great use of the pizza oven with some delicious pizzas, as well as the local bakery for morning croissants. Thank you Gaby, your place is great, we had a really lovely time.

We stayed for a week with my whole family (15 of us) and his house was just perfect. Space for everyone with places to be together and places to find your own little nook to read or chill out. The kitchen had everything you would want to cook up a storm and more. Gaby was a great host - there when you needed her but not intrusive. The village is charming with an epicerie where you can get fresh bread and croissants (delivered fresh every morning if you put in an order the night before), and plenty of other local delices. The restaurant / cafe is excellent and the whole place surrounded by a mixture of olive groves, vineyards, pasture and woods. A short drive to the nearest 'big' village where you can buy any thing else you need as well as the departure point for canoeing and exploring the Ardeche River. Really a delightful stay and we hope to return one day.
