The three-storey stone house houses four original bedrooms with private bathrooms: two double rooms, one air-conditioned room for four with balcony, and a large room for six under the roof. The convivial atmosphere continues in the communal living room, where gourmet breakfasts featuring local produce are served. A shared kitchen lets you prepare meals at your own pace, and the air-conditioned lounge-library with fireplace invites you to relax.

Outside, a flower-filled garden with barbecue and above-ground swimming pool (open from May to September) awaits you for sunny moments of relaxation.

    Séjour en famille

    Accueil très chaleureux dans un cadre magnifique à coté de l'église de Viviers et d'un superbe jardin à quelques mètres du gîte avec vue sur la vallée. L'habitation est confortable dans un décor 12ème siècle. Le parking est possible juste devant le gîte et permet de facilement descendre les bagages. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux et agrémenté des commentaires intéressant du propriétaire sur la bâtisse, le village les sites à visiter aux alentour.

    Petit week-end

    Le gîte est dans un ensemble ancien, adossé à la cathédrale. À proximité des vieux quartiers, visite de la ville à pieds en partant du gîte. Olivier est disponible, le petit-déjeuner bien achalandé. Séjour agréable.

    Amis des vielles pierres, c'est pour vous

    Le logement est situé tout en haut, au coeur de l'histoire du village. Très beau bâtiment historique. La douche est directement dans la chambre sans porte. Les viennoiseries du petit déjeuner sont délicieuses. Pour dîner, je recommande le restaurant Les chevaliers.
    Le propriétaire met a disposition gratuitement un local pour entreposer vos vélo ainsi que des outils pour de réparation.

    malerisch

    superschön und gemütlich. wunderbarer garten mit aussicht. mit mohammed ali und bansky an den wänden. das familien-dachzimmer hat keine aussicht und roch eher modrig und das bad sehr feucht. aber sonst alles perfekt. host sehr zuvorkommend.
