Super location to explore from

A great spot to explore the ardeche and ceze valleys. Plenty to see and do. The mas is cool and cosy, a real home from home. The pool is amazing. We’re already planning next year’s visit.

Deceptions

Belle demeure avec beaucoup de charme dans un joli petit village provençal. Piscine bien entretenue. La propriétaire est rapidement disponible par téléphone et appelle les personnes responsables de l'entretien de la maison si besoin. Literie confortable Points négatifs: Beaucoup de guêpes nous empêchant de manger dehors ou d'ouvrir les fenêtres de la maison. J'ai finalement découvert un nid de guêpes dans l'un des murs de la maison. Etonnant que personne ne l'ait vu avant... Le ménage est très superficiel et il y a énormément de toiles d'araignées ( araignées qui vont avec...) sur les plafonds, murs... Honnêtement, je n'ai pas osé ouvrir ou déplacer certains meubles de peur d'une mauvaise surprise! Nous avons trouvé 3 scorpions dans la maison en 48h ( on nous dit que c'est normal quand il fait chaud !!! ), si bien que nous avons finalement écourté notre séjour et sommes partis le jeudi au lieu du samedi. Avec un bébé de 5 mois, nous ne souhaitions pas prendre le moindre risque. Et quelques détails: bac de légumes du réfrigérateur cassé, rideau de douche déchiré Nous habitons également dans la région et louons souvent des maisons; et c'est bien la première fois que nous faisions face à autant de problèmes en si peu de temps. Il me semble absolument nécessaire qu'un ménage en profondeur soit réalisé dans la maison car il y a visiblement un manque d'entretien. Cela est bien dommage car la maison a beaucoup de potentiel !!!

calme et beauté

Nous étions une famille de 3 couples et un bébé, ravis d'être au calme dans un très beau site. Belle maison, dont nous occupions le rez-de-chaussée, l'étage supérieur étant fermé. La région est riche en visites et baignades. Le Pont d'Arc et la grotte Chauvet sont à 45 mn par une belle route qui surplombe les gorges de l'Ardèche -(et où de nuit on peut croiser un troupeau de chèvres égarées!). Eviter l'affluence d'aout est possible en jouant sur les horaires. Il faisait très chaud cette semaine, mais avec une clim dans le salon et des ventilateurs dans chaque chambre nous étions très bien à l'intérieur. La piscine est grande et munie d'une couverture à fonctionnement électrique très pratique, et sécurisante quand on est avec un jeune enfant. Le village attenant de Salazac est beau, sans aucun commerce mais nous avons pu goûter à l'ambiance locale lors de la fête du vendredi soir -concert , pizzas- souvent organisée l'été. On fait les courses en voiture mais pas besoin d'aller bien loin. A préciser dans l'annonce : les frais bancaires, ma banque m'a demandé 60 euros pour la conversion du paiement en livres.

Dépaysant et relaxant

Super séjour dans cette petite maison. Nous étions 4 couples et s’il n’était pas facile de faire rentrer toutes les affaires dans les petites chambres, le lieu est tellement apaisant et bien équipé que c’était vite oublié ! Jane était très réactive à nos demandes et c’était vraiment appréciable! Super séjour en famille, la piscine est un vrai atout! On recommande à 100%

Excellent séjour !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille dans ce joli mas. Jane a été accommodante et réactive avant et pendant notre semaine de vacances. La maison et notamment la terrasse avec piscine sont très agréables. Plus généralement, Salazac est calme et très bien situé. Nous avons pu faire de nombreuses visites de villages pittoresques et de randonnées à moins de 30 minutes de voiture. À recommander !

Seele baumeln lassen

Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass tatsächlich ausreichend Platz für 8 Personen ist. Es gibt jede Menge Geschirr, viele Stühle und Liegen und bei schlechtem Wetter auch drinnen viel Platz. Es ist alles da, was man braucht und auch einiges mehr. Ein Bad ist unmittelbar am Wohnzimmer gelegen und ein Schlafzimmer nur wenige Schritte den Flur entlang. Die übrigen Schlafräume und das zweite Bad sind durch einen weiteren Flur und eine Zwischentür abgetrennt. Im Pool kann man nicht nur abtauchen, sondern tatsächlich schwimmen. Das Gelände liegt zudem sehr geschützt, so dass man ungestört und überwiegend ungesehen bleibt und sich am Pool ohne Bedenken entspannen kann. Direkt gegenüber des Fahrweges befindet sich die hohe Stadtmauer, so dass man vom eigentlichen Ort etwas abgegrenzt ist. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und blieben viel häufiger am Haus, als wir vorher dachten. Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen - und dabei haben uns auch die Spinnweben nicht gestört, die in vielen Ecken zu sehen waren... Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit!

Amazing place to stay in a beautiful area

The villa is a spacious property with everything you need. We loved the fact that it was away from neighbours, had a great pool and privacy. It got the sun all day and was really just a lovely relaxing place to stay.

Family Holiday

Holiday with 8 adult family members. Plenty of space and comfy beds. There was a choice of bathrooms so no queue in the morning. Huge lounge/kitchen area with doors either end giving a welcome breeze in the unusually hot weather for June. Pool was large and very clean and was enjoyed by everyone. Garden was private, not overlooked and plenty of parking space. There were lots of villages and towns to explore as well as domains to sample and buy local wines.Lovely area and holiday enjoyed by all. Would go back back again.

Good location, a personal check in proces would have been nice, unannounced pool clean of 4 hours

The house was lovely especially the outside area. The inside is old but has its charm and works. A few things would have been nice, like proper duvet covers instead of sheets with a duvet (with visible stains) on top of the sheets. Some personal recommendations such as good wineries, bakery’s or must sees to visit would have been nice. There was also a lack of communication that the pool was going to be cleaned on Thursday. Of course it has to be cleaned but we had a scare when al of a sudden a pool guy stood outside the house at 7am and without saying anything left with a pool vacuum cleaner inside the pool till 12.00. (On the one day we decided not to go anywhere). Then an older couple (pool guy and cleaner) showed up Saturday morning at 9 am, probably wanting to clean early, but were irritated (hanging around) that we were leaving at the latest hour (11 am). Not a relaxed end to our stay.

Erholung - Stille - hübsches traditionelles Dörfchen

Mit 4 Erwachsenen und 4 Kindern haben wir hier eine Woche Entspannung pur genossen. Essen, baden, kochen, sonnen und wunderschöne Ausflüge an die Ardeche. Morgens mit dem Fahrrad zum Bäcker, erst schön bergab, auf dem Rückweg sportlich bergauf. Wir haben den Aufenthalt alle sehr genossen.

Plenty of charm and the perfect place to relax.

This was the ideal location from which to explore the area. There are so many opportunities for day trips - read Jane's recommendations - and it's amazing to come "home" to your own space and relax around the pool. We stayed here with our two daughters, ages 12 and 14, for six nights and there was plenty of room for everyone. The building itself is charming with lots of character and the kitchen is well-equipped. Note, you'll need to bring your own sundries, such as soap, toilet paper, laundry detergent etc. It was hot and sunny during our stay and we enjoyed the pool and walks in the surrounding area. We ate al fresco every evening and bought wine from the local vineyards. It was a lovely week!

Lovely setting and a challenging Ardeche!

Lovely setting although the outside of the property looked a little unloved. We had to clean the algae off the swimming pool steps and some of the slabbing around the pool was unfinished. The inside of the house had a lovely kitchen and sitting area. The bedrooms badly needed an update with the curtains and sheets. Although the floors and kitchen surfaces were clean there were many areas which had either dust or cob webs. When we arrived the weather was relatively warm, However the next three days were quite cool (never above 20 C). Night temperatures dropped as low as 5C during this period. Unfortunately during these evenings the sitting area became cool and we had to ring the owner to find out where the logs were for the log burner. At night the bed linen was inadequate for these low temperatures and we had to request duvets which were delivered promptly. This made the first few nights less comfortable than we would have liked. With temperatures on the low side we postponed our kayaking down the Ardeche. Instead we visited one of the many sites of interest. We spent a day in Avignon visiting the Palais des Papes and the Pont Saint Benezet. Well worth the journey of 50 minutes. With the weather improving we hired kayaks and did a relatively short journey from Vallon Pont d' Arc down to Chames. The kayaks were of the sit on type so we got thoroughly soaked. The following day having found our river legs we went for the biggy and kayaked from Chames to St Martin d'Ardeche. This was a mind blowing experience which I do not think I will be repeating. At one stage there appeared to be more people in the water than in kayaks. I was little surprised at the lack of information given by the hire companies - virtually none. The map provided went soggy after the second rapid and hence we had no means of foreseeing the hazards. There were occasions when after seeing the hazard on the rapid it was too late to take avoiding action because of the strength of the current. No crash hats were provided and no tips for survival. We then took it easy for a few days, visiting local vine yards and eating out. All very enjoyable. Why give it a 4 star - plenty to do in a beautiful environment; hence the title.

Rustic retreat

The house in Salazac is perfectly placed within the region to visit all the key sights and has restaurants and shops within a short drive . This is a particularly beautiful part of the Ardeche with such little occupation and light pollution you can see the Milky Way spread across the night sky right above the Gite . If you are looking for urban luxury and fitted furniture this is not the place for you , comfy and rustic best describes this house along with a rather large private pool . If you have a romantic soul and can see the joy in ancient stone walls and enjoy the silence only broken by an evening breeze this is the place for you .

Fabulous Central Base

We have just returned from spending two weeks at this great property. The owner has carefully retained all the positive features of an old stone farmhouse but has combined them with the essentials of modern living. On arrival, the house was warm and clean. Little details, such as there being washing up liquid, tablets for the dishwasher and washing machine, sufficient toilet rolls, ice in the freezer, clean tea towels, wi-fi, all added up to make a very homely welcome to this lovely property. The beds are comfortable, as is the lounge furniture. Having visited over the Easter holidays, the evenings were chilly and it was lovely having the wood burning stove rather than having to use the electric heaters. The kitchen is well equipped and the knives are sharp!- plenty of cookware, crockery and glassware. A fantastic base for a relaxing holiday or to explore the area - there are lots of leaflets of places to visit and walks to try, both from the house and further afield. 

Great holiday!

We had a wonderful holiday at Salazar.. The house was well appointed and the pool was great. We very much enjoyed our dinners outside by candlelight and fantastic walks from the house with stunning views . There is plenty to do in the area and the Ardeche gorges are less than 10 minutes away . Canoeing down the Ardeche river is quite spectacular. We will definitely be booking another stay in the near future !

About the host

Hosted by Jane

We converted this barn over 30 years ago into what is now our much loved family holiday home . Our 4 children who have spent many Summers here and we all love the house and area and are still exploring new places

Why they chose this property

Beautiful setting in quite rural Provence - with it's fantastic markets for local produce for wonderful barbecues and long lazy evenings outside . Wonderful wine tasting all around.

What makes this property unique

You can appreciate the beauty of this stunning provencal farmhouse whilst sunbathing or floating in the pool with views down the valley ........

Only 10 minutes to the impressive Ardeche river with amazing gorges and fantastic walks and canoeing trips. Many day trips in every direction to the med coast, Cevennes national park and historical sights of Nimes, Arles, Orange, Vaison la Romaine, Avignon etc
