Quiet ground-floor apartment with a garden in the heart of southern Ardèche

The 2 "Gîtes du Testal" opened recently in 2021.
They are located in a medieval town in Lagorce between Vallon Pont d'Arc and Ruoms. The place is very pleasant because it is at the crossroads of the most beautiful tourist attractions... and yet quiet with an unobstructed view.

You will be able to enjoy:
- swimming and picnicking on the banks of 4 very different rivers: the Ardèche, Labeaume, the Ibie and the Chassezac,
- numerous hikes and bike rides (greenway) in Lagorce, Saint Alban Auriolles, Ruoms, Saint Remèze, Vallon Pont d'Arc, Les Vans and the mysterious Bois de Païolive etc.
- many extraordinary views of the Cévennes,
- fabulous canoe descents under the Pont d'Arc and elsewhere,
- caves and their secrets (Chauvet of course but also many others...)
and the Aluna Festival.

If you like to travel through medieval villages with fortified castles, enjoy local products for direct sale, the atmosphere of country inns, taste incredible wines, drive on beautiful scrubland roads, festivals... or do nothing and nap by the water with the cicadas, then you will love the south of the Ardèche!

The atmosphere of the region is festive. The agendas are varied.

To start your stay, when you leave the house you can already walk on a pretty dirt road through the scrubland.

This cottage on the ground floor can accommodate two people (1 bedroom with a double bed) and a baby. The environment is quiet.

It has a beautiful semi-covered wooden terrace that goes around the house (east and south facing).

It is perfectly equipped with:
- a complete kitchen (oven, hob, microwave, hood, fridge with freezer compartment and dishwasher) with many utensils and quality crockery,
- a living room with TV lounge and dining area (large table/worktop with 3 raised chairs),
- a bright bedroom (under the trees on the north/east side) with plenty of storage space and a desk (140 x 190 cm bed).
- new and quality furniture with a neat decoration,
- air conditioning/heating to welcome you with comfort in all seasons,
- a WIFI terminal for your leisure activities or teleworking (connection sometimes disrupted in the Ardèche, especially during tourist peaks, etc.),
- a bright shower room/WC,
- an independent entrance,
- a garden and a courtyard to relax, play bowls, have a barbecue...

The floor is made of waxed concrete. The 2 mats can be removed for allergy sufferers.
The interior of the cottage is on one level but the openings are not suitable for a wheelchair.
Two mosquito nets allow you to enjoy the night breezes and the song of the screech owl in the oaks.
A duvet and a cotton piqué will be nice for the cool nights the rest of the year.
Additional "guests" for the night are not permitted.

Smoking is not permitted except in the courtyard.

Check-in is possible from 4 p.m. and check-out until 11 a.m.

Cleaning must be done by yourself. However, we offer the cleaning option on reservation (€60). Cleaning products are provided and respect phyto-purification (treatment of wastewater by plants).

We lend baby equipment on reservation (folding bed + mosquito net, table seat, bathtub, changing mat, crockery and plastic pot).

Upon departure, the gîte must be left clean. Household products are provided.

The following are provided:
Cotton and/or linen sheets

A small, clean and kind dog will be welcome.

Soon, you will be able to charge your vehicle with an electric terminal installed on the house. In the meantime, to avoid any serious malfunctions and fires, it is forbidden to recharge a battery.

May your holidays be the most beautiful at the Gîtes du Testal!
