The delightful well-established terraced garden offers an endless choice of spots to sit in the sun or cool off in the shade, all with plenty of seating.
La Clède has undergone a major refurbishment programme and is tastefully modernised whilst making use of the natural features and materials. The fully equipped kitchen is complete with a dishwasher and a large fridge freezer to help make self-catering as easy as possible. All bedrooms are en-suite including a high end bathroom. Wifi is available and there is plenty of private parking in front of the property for two vehicles.
Ribes is located on a sunny promintary close to the town of Joyeuse with its weekly well renowned market. The river Beaume is a short distance away and is great for splashing about with the children or simply relaxing on one of the small sandy beaches.

About the host
Hosted by Julie & Mike Ayres
Mike and Julie live in England and have known each other for over 40 years. Mike ran his own kitchen and bathroom company in the UK and decided to use his many talents to renovate a new home in the South of France. He's done the vast majority of work himself and has very exacting standards. Mike is a very keen road cyclist and the riding in the area is simply stunning, he is also an enthusiastic cook. Julie retired from working at Gatwick Airport and now spends more time in France enjoying the house and garden as well as being part of the Ribes community. They both love walking, exploring new regions of France and the wonderfully relaxed French way of life.
When in Ribes, Julie & Mike, occupy an adjoining 300 year old property. If they are around they are always discreet, but on hand to help with anything to make your holiday really special.
Why they chose this property
Mike and Julie saw the property in a property magazine that one of their sons bought Mike for his birthday. They'd been looking for a while but simply fell in love with La Clede and its history, having been previously owned by an English couple whose parents bought it back in 1963. It was meant to be. They bought the property in September 2015 and set about its renovation almost immediately.
What makes this property unique
La Clede is a charming officially rated 3* property with a lovely large garden and many places to sit both in and out of the sun with simply delightful views. It just makes you feel so relaxed. The Mediterranean style climate is wonderful, beautifully sunny, but not as hot as further south and there's usually a gentle cooling breeze, the mistral rarely blows here. From the house walks through the forests are lovely and the cycling is stunning with many local cols. The river Beaume is close by with plenty of places to relax, swim or just splash about. The historic town of Joyeuse with its famous weekly market is close by and has all the shops you need.
The stunning restaurant La Cueille is located just 350M walk away.
