We had a fantastic holiday at the Gite! The property & pool were lovely, set within a fabulous location. We hiked in the local area and visited cities such as Lyon and Marseille.

Thanks so much for your positive review.....which I've just come across! Chris
Emplacement idéal dans la Drôme entouré de montagnes, prairies, champs de lavande…. De petits villages fortifiés et de nuits sombres étoilées. La maison est superbement restaurée, moderne, confortable et lumineuse, le jardin agréable avec sa piscine où la vue est splendide. Les hôtes sont accueillants, discrets et de bon conseil, et le petit chien Louis est adorable…. Nous y retournerons et remercions Chris & April pour leur accueil.

A very pleasant rural Gîte set in farmland less that 5 minutes from the charming village of Pont-de-Barret. The property is ideal for a group of four and we arranged an extra folding bed for a child. The property has easy access to the road, and all neighbouring villages and amenities are within 10-20 minutes. Access to local tourist sites, walks and cycling routes is all very easy. The hosts were welcoming and remained in the background throughout our stay. We enjoyed access to the good sized pool during a very hot period of the summer - the only negative to that being the significant numbers of a bees and wasps taking water. In short, a great property in a marvellous region to which we will certainly return to get to know better. Published Aug 28, 2019 yI6sQAIQT0qMhH9RrW4hMHDdX1lIffCrz8ljCXIKDjKrjyB/gNcujr5aVWmonxfW y. What a little taste of heaven this place is, from our arrival driving through perfect little villages towards the mountains, entering le Loft des Lavandes as the sun shone highlighting the field of lavender next to the house. It was the perfect start to our holiday. …we have loved the past two weeks, the pool, the food, the views, the vineyards, exploring medieval villages, walking through Saou forest. We have felt relaxed and refreshed, the house itself is fantastic, great size with all you need. It’s a little haven. Can’t wait to visit again and explore more of the area. Published Jul 19, 2016 Stunning location and peaceful, dreamy days 5/5 Stayed Apr 2016 simon l. This newly built and furnished gite was perfect for our family. With close up views of the mountains that ring this stunning valley, and a lavender field you could touch from the patio, we felt refreshed, restored and "repointed". It had everything we could wish for, from spacious en suites, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and a lovely host family next door (NB not always there) who were able to tell us some incredible sites to explore. These included an off road track to a ruined medieval village (you can do this in a 4x4 car), and two mountain walks with breathtaking views of two different valleys. The property is peaceful and remote yet within 10/25 minutes drive of fresh bread, wine and various towns with all the eating out and sightseeing you could wish for. Definitely coming again, the best rental in France we have ever used. See what we mean and visit! Published Apr 20, 2016 Excellent séjour en famille 5/5 Stayed Aug 2021 pierre e.

We spent a lovely week at Le Loft des Lavandes. Such peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings made us all relax and regain our long lost energy. April and Chris are the most perfect hosts - always there discretely, ready to help and very easy to talk with. The welcome package of basic groceries, bread, milk etc was just one of many small gestures - thank you so much. The gîte is very nicely decorated with everything you need. Clean, tidy and very modern. And having the bedrooms downstairs is a brilliant idea - nice and cool even during the hottest day. All in all our very best recommendations and hoping to see you again soon. Lise V. Denmark
We really enjoyed our time here. Such a lovely, spacious building...we didn't feel crowded in at all. The pool was a godsend. With the weather staying in the mid-30s, it was wonderful to cool down a little, and spend some time just drifting about in the pool. The girls loved it! We have spent family holidays in many gites over the years, but this is the best equipped we have come across.
