BELLE ÉPOQUE

Just 9 km from Montélimar, the charming medieval village of Sauzet is the starting point for a variety of excursions to Provence, the Rhône valley and the Valdaine plain. You're just 10 minutes from the renowned Marsanne forest, one of the oldest communal forests in France (accrobranche park and panoramic hikes) and the Valdaine golf course. Set on a magnificent 3-hectare property, the Belle Epoque gîte is housed in the former janitor's cottage of the Villa Sestier. In the heart of the village, next to the elementary school, you'll be staying in one of the outbuildings of this rare and remarkable building, listed as a historic monument. The owners will be delighted to show you the history of the Villa Sestier, an Art Nouveau jewel.

First floor: living room with wood-burning stove and kitchenette, shower room, separate wc. Upstairs: 2 bedrooms (1x140x190) (2x90x190), separate wc.

During the heatwaves of July and August, which have become frequent in recent years, this device, tested by the owners in other parts of the world, keeps the gite comfortable. Fans are also available.
