About this farm stay rental

The 300+ square meter, 400-year-old Mas on the west edge of the Plateau de Coiron overlooks vineyards and lavender fields, and on the horizon, the Cevennes. Luxuriously restored first in 2002, then again in 2011 and 2013 with a new pool deck, new Finnish sauna, eight-person jacuzzi, new indoor and outdoor kitchens that seat 16, and a complete renovation of the adjoining barn, the Mas sleeps 16 in its six large bedrooms - five with queen size beds, one a bunk style room that comfortably sleeps up to six children in four large beds. Five of the bedrooms overlook the 10 x 5 meter heated salt-water swimming pool (no chlorine! available June through end September), the Ardeche river valley, and the sunset horizon 80km to the west. There are four full bathrooms, all with separate toilets (continental European style). The kitchen is fully equipped, ready for the epicurean gourmands, and there is a second, outdoor kitchen next to an outdoor dining pergola. The private garden is surrounded by raspberry and blackberry bushes, and basil, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, abound...

PLEASE NOTE - this house is made for families, NOT for parties. We consider anything music being played loud enough to disturb the neighbors after 10pm to be a party. 16 people is the maximum number of guests. Some of our neighbours have health issues and we really do not want to put their health at risk. We want you to be able to celebrate from the house but we have a STRICT NO-PARTY POLICY.
French law has an automatic fine for noise complaints each time the police are called. If a party disturbs the neighbours (they will call us and the police) or the guest numbers exceed the number designated during booking, the security deposit will be forfeited.

Guest access

Full use of the whole house including the two kitchens (one indoor fully equipped, one outdoor with dishwasher, sink and big beer refrigerator) and exclusive use of the heated saltwater swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna.

Interaction with guests

You will be greeted by Elodie, who cleans the Mas, and is a great source of local information. If anything goes wrong with the house or you cannot find something, PLEASE first refer to the information sheets that are placed around the house...they really do answer almost every question you could have. If something is broken, please let her know as soon as possible so we can have it repaired. She makes a good attempt with English, so prepare to practice your French (or have google translate ready)!

Our favorite places:

Balazuc – Beautiful, and great place to swim. Much less crowded than Vallon Pont D’Arc. Other water sport favorites are the streams that descend from the Massif Central – towards Antregues, and Le Puy. Pont de Diable is great – go early to beat the crowds.

Villages: Our favorites include: Alba-La-Romaine, Miribel, L’Argentiere, St Pierreville, Avignon, Viviers, Uzes, Vals les Bains

Ardeche is the world chestnut capital. The beams of the house are chestnut, many of the trees outside are chestnut. Visit the 'Museum de Chataignes' in Joyeuse. Enjoy 'marron glaces' (candied chestnuts), or simply a salad l'Ardechoise (with chestnuts & goat's cheese!).

Guilleme

Bourganel – Ardeche’s local beer – you can tour the brewery in Vals-les-Bains. They make lager (blonde), and then several local varieties; chestnut, blueberry, miele de chataigne, verveine. Closed on Mondays.

Vineyards - There are many local vineyards, and local 'caves', (collectives) in the villages. Southern Ardeche is home to the Cote du Rhone appellation, the oldest wine growing district in France...try the Grand Ardeche from Louis Latour. You can visit Latour’s chardonnay caves in Alba-la-Romaine.

Aan HomeAway, we hebben, samen met ons ganse gezin, deze zomer een verblijf geboekt in uw gîte in Saint-Laurent-sous-Coiron in Frankrijk (#8241). We hebben een heel mooie vakantie beleefd. Zoals aangegeven op de website was de gîte midden in de natuur gelegen en was het uitzicht fantastisch. Aangezien de huurprijs een stukje hoger was dan hetgeen we in het verleden betaalden voor gelijkaardige gîtes met een heel goede uitrusting, verwachtten we ons aan een zeer degelijke accommodatie. Op dat vlak zijn we toch wat ontgoocheld en willen we onze opmerkingen met u delen. 1. We vonden het erg jammer dat er niet vermeld werd op uw site dat we een zeer dichte buurman/vrouw hadden. Deze persoon heeft zich heel discreet gedragen, doch dit neemt niet weg dat we inkijk hadden in elkaars tuin. Bovendien bleek er de eerste avond bij onze aankomst een lokaal rockfestival door te gaan in zijn tuin waarbij de aanwezigen de nacht ter plekke in tenten doorbrachten. De buurman heeft zich hiervoor verontschuldigd, doch het is uiteraard aangenamer als men vooraf op de hoogte is dat zoiets tot de mogelijkheden behoort. 2. We hebben genoten van schitterend warm weer, doch de mogelijkheden om schaduw te vinden waren veel te beperkt. Aan de buitenkeuken is wel een houten pergola voorzien, doch zonder echte afdekking. Het zeil bleek stuk te zijn en zich in een berghok te bevinden. We hebben zelf zo goed en zo kwaad als mogelijk geprobeerd om dit te herstellen. Naast een tweede, mooi overgroeide pergola op het benedenterras is dit de enige bron van wat schaduw. We begrijpen dat parasols hier geen soelaas bieden omwille van de sterke windvlagen die courant zijn in deze streek, maar we denken dat er toch alternatieve oplossingen bestaan. 3. Het uitzicht is zoals gezegd, overweldigend mooi, er is een groot terras over 2 niveau’s verspreid, met veel ruimte, prachtig, doch daarnaast was er weinig tot geen ruimte om zich met de kinderen in de tuin te vermaken (afgezien van het zwembad uiteraard). We hebben op uw site een duidelijke beschrijving van de tuin gemist. Die is er wel, doch op een helling gelegen waardoor er niet kan op gespeeld worden. De lager gelegen pruimelaars konden weinig beschutting bieden wegens te druk bezocht door de wespen. 4. Op de site is vermeld dat deze gîte rolstoel toegankelijk is, doch dit lijkt ons niet evident. Het terras op het niveau van de leefruimtes en de gelijkvloerse slaapkamer bestaat hoofdzakelijk uit keien, en de helling naar het benede
