Totally relaxing holiday!
Fantastic location for a relaxing holiday! We really enjoyed the feeling of 'away from it all' as we stayed at this oil-producing farm over the New Year's week. We had the Ardèche to ourselves... The owners were very friendly during the booking and welcoming once we got there, making sure that we had the best possible stay. The apartment is well equipped (if you're missing something, just ask!) and has its own, pleasant rustic charme. The double bed is extremely comfortable and hard to get away from... Since the weather was very sunny, if a bit windy, we managed to explore many different small villages and to do some incredibly beautiful long walks, after which we could soak in the jacuzzi and have a nice sauna. As only drawback, I would say that the apartment and the spa area are more suited to a summer or mid-season stay, The floors were rather cold despite the radiators working full blast, and even in the sauna the floor didn't seem to get warm, forming then condensation visible on the glass door. Also some villages appeared like ghost towns... where do the locals hide in low season? Expect to find 90% of the restaurants closed in december, and the remaining 10% only open for lunch. But hey, we still had a fantastic holiday and loved the silence, the friendly animals running around the courtyard and the total darkness of the Lagorce nights!
