Estate for 43 in Pont-Saint-Esprit - Gard

Beschreibung

Summer is next to come, the cicadas will go chirping, the weather will be of course nice...!

Fellow cyclists, we are approved "Accueil vélo": as such, your bikes will be put under secure shelter, and we can offer you overnight accommodation, or a stay, in a room, a gîte, or a dormitory if you are 5, or more than 5. At your disposal: racks, bike wash, repair kit, pump, washing & drying clothes.
Given the growing number of electric bikes, we now ask 0.50€ per night of charging (sorry, but the cost of electricity is increasing, even though the electric bike is considered to be ecological...!).

We will advise you usefully on a cycling route to Avignon, much better, more pleasant in terms of nature, and better frequented than the official Viarhona route passing through Sorgues and Le Pontet, a horror...!

Couples: The "Ramona" cottage is particularly suitable for a quiet rental because it is completely independent (2 to 5 people).

Air-conditioned, it is a real little nest for lovers..., very, very, very requested!!

We can bring you breakfast on site, if you wish!

For your meals (equipped kitchen), if you stay a few days, we can, to make things easier for you, order bread and pastries for you.

Families: the "La noria" cottage, also air-conditioned, can accommodate up to 8 people. Equipped kitchen.

Pet owners: we accept "our animal friends" if they are dogs or cats, but not other animals...

but if and only if, beforehand a telephone agreement has been given to you after we have checked, in sincerity with you, the type of animal, its size and height, its discipline and its education.
Events, festive evenings, birthdays ...: our large 90 m2 room, with beautiful beams and its exposed stone wall can allow you to have fun activities. Contact us for availability, prices and other information.

Internet: although not supposed to be in a "white zone" of network, the internet connections are random. We are located in the countryside ( = Live box) and the fiber has not yet reached us!

We are also receptive to your comments or suggestions.

The SWIMMING POOL is operational. It will be until mid or end of September (its hours: 08:00 / 20:00, for the tranquility of the other guests, thank you).

We can lend you bath towels.

For hygiene reasons, animals are not allowed in the swimming pool.

So, nature, freshness of our centuries-old plane trees, greenery as far as the eye can see, song of the cicadas, ROSE, RED or WHITE WINE from the Côtes du Rhône or Provence, beers from local craft brewers, walks in the surrounding villages, tourism, gastronomy, tranquility!

WITH PLEASURE AND GRATITUDE, WE WILL WELCOME YOU WITH JOY,
but from 4:00 p.m. only, in order to allow us to quietly redo the accommodations after the departure of the previous guests

The estate has been the property of the family for several centuries and has been open to guests for more than forty years.
Its current exterior style, like its interior layout, dates from the time of CHARLES X (Reign: 1824 / 1830).

In one of the towers, the spiral staircase that serves the floors is, according to a family archive, contemporary with JEANNE d'Arc, who a priori never went down so far south (...!), unlike the Burgundian poet and novelist of origin, ALPHONSE de LAMARTINE.

He may have stayed there during a stopover on a water coach in Pont-Saint-Esprit, a means of transport that he used a lot to go to Italy. He may have taken the opportunity to visit the DIGOINE du PALAIS family, also from Burgundy, and ancestors of the current owner of the estate.

It is in this authentic setting, that in normal times, but also in atypical times (Covid...), we offer you a charming stay, in guest rooms, in a gîte as well.

We no longer provide dinners at "table d'hôtes" systematically. It depends on the production of the family vegetable garden and the ardor of the lady of the house...!.
If these two are not there, we will advise you of other possibilities, thus allowing you to discover nearby (less than 5 minutes by car) a range of restaurants or guinguettes.

See you soon, we hope!
