L'Échappée Nature, a 17th-century Cévennes farmhouse—rated 3 stars
L'Echappée Nature, a charming guest house, nestled in the heart of an olive grove, in a 2-hectare estate; we welcome you for an authentic and exotic stay. Do you want calm, serenity, to recharge your batteries far from the noise, the crowds and the daily hustle and bustle? Our cottage is the ideal place: a haven of tranquility, a scent of Adventure!
The cottage is located in the oldest part of the house, dated around 1620 - knowing that the frames of some windows come from the old medieval castle of Naves, while today there is almost nothing left of it. Completely renovated, we offer you a warm and comfortable accommodation (reversible air conditioning, double sink bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, etc...)
Located high up on the road to Naves, you have a surprising view: to the west you admire the listed village of Naves, to the south the vineyards changing colour with the seasons, to the east the village of Les Vans and its church illuminated at night... ... And yet you are barely 10 minutes walk from the village of Les Vans and 10 minutes walk from the historic village of Naves: a strategic position that offers you the possibility of leaving your car in the "special guest" parking lot and doing everything on foot from the Echappée Belle: shopping, restaurant, hiking, etc....., passing by the Vieux Naves path, winding between vineyards and olive trees (also accessible by bike).
Our accommodation The authenticity, calm and serenity of the place are exceptional. You will wake up in the morning to the song of cicadas or birds depending on the season and you will fall asleep with the hooting of the Screech-Owl or the croaking of frogs 😊.
Our estate encompasses a landscaped area, an olive grove and meadows where horses graze quietly. On the trail, you will probably come across Bentley (a KWPN) and Choupette, a pretty filly. Our 2 little dogs frolic happily in this natural environment.
We offer a beautiful comfortable room of about 20 m2 (with an office area), a living room including the kitchen and the living room (flat screen TV) and a comfortable bathroom (double sinks, XL shower, WC).
Do you want to work in peace? you can sit either on the round oak table in the bedroom or on the round ceramic table in the living room.
Included are sheets/duvet, towels, dish towels, kitchen essentials (you can taste our organic olive oil)
Because the nights (and days) can be hot, air conditioning is available in every room. And..... because the nights (and days) can be cooler, the air conditioning is reversible and allows you to have a cozy haven.
In summer.... Would you like to swim? Le Chassezac is not far away (10 min by car). Take advantage of your visit to the Château de Vogué to dive into the Ardèche, or your visit to the Château de Labeaume and its magnificent hanging gardens to swim in the Beaume.
In Les Vans you will also find all the facilities and clubs offering canyoning, canoeing/kayaking, caving, sports hiking, etc...
Would you like to visit our beautiful region? We are at: - 10 min from the Bois de Païolive - 30 min from Vallon Pont d'Arc - 42 min from the Chauvet Cave - 8 min from Ceven' Aventures (canoeing) - 45 min from the lake of Villefort - 20 min Grotte de la Cocalière - 35 min from Aubenas or Alès
All you have to do is book... and enjoy a change of scenery. Whatever the season, our cottage will be a cocoon for you, a creator of memories.
