La Calade

Looking for a peaceful place to spend your next holiday with family or friends? Look no further than La Calade gîte. In the heart of the Ardèche, a comfortable gîte with nature at your fingertips.

Nestling in the heart of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park, Ferme de la Croze offers a range of accommodation in a small, isolated hamlet in the commune of St Joseph des Bancs. An exceptional natural environment, ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities: hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or simply a moment of zen on the banks of the stream that runs alongside the property. For heritage lovers, take the time to discover the Palhiaire mill (12th century), a historic building renovated with passion by owners Hélène and René.

The gîte La Calade is an old stone stable that has been completely renovated and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people. A cobbled path leads down to this haven of peace in a private courtyard. Arranged on two levels, the gîte is functional, spacious and perfect for families. There's a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook up a storm, and a living room with sofa bed, armchairs and TV. A 3-step hallway leads to two bedrooms: one with two 90cm beds, the other with a 160cm bed, a bathroom with walk-in shower, WC and laundry room. The third bedroom (140cm bed) is on the first floor, as is a games room where children can play in peace and quiet.

You'll love the green garden with its unobstructed mountain views, accessed from the kitchen via a wooden staircase. Whether you prefer a siesta on the grass to the sound of birds, or a barbecue with fresh produce on the terrace, the choice is yours!

Take advantage of your stay to discover the local gastronomy, either on site selling farm products (chestnut flour, cookies, jams, juices...) or at nearby farmers' markets. And if you're in the mood for more entertainment, opt for a trip to Antraigues sur Volane (12 km) or Vals Les Bains (16 km).
