South Ardèche modern villa with swimming pool (classified 4*)

We had a lovely 10 days at the property. I speak very little French so Max was extremely helpful using Google Translate to explain everything. Make sure you follow his directions (not your Sat Nav) as the roads through the centre of the town are very narrow. The house was well equipped and comfortable. It’s a nice stroll to the town (downhill there but uphill back up). The evening Sunday market was lovely and the day market on the Wednesday was huge (do as Max suggests and walk). We visited nearby sites and kayaked using the nearby company CCC (approx. 20 mins drive away). Nearby supermarkets made food shopping easy and the local wine was very nice. The pool was perfect with a great view. My husband loved the hammock and we enjoyed the pétanque. Don’t forget your mosquito spray though. Thank you Max!!

We, a couple, spent 6 days here. The place gives 100% privacy, no overlooking neighbours. The cleanliness was also 100%. We felt 100% at home and comfortable. The pool area, where we spent most of the days, was super. Sun and shade; whatever you prefer. We got Prime TV on the TV in the evenings, which was nice, so we didn’t have to watch Joe retire in French. The Joyeuce village is walk distance away. Make sure u don’t go there when it’s Sunday and 2pm as all will be closed incl. the well equipped local Carrefour. Nothing can be perfect so, it was hot in the bedroom during nights, but that was maybe also our own fault as we did not have the heart to keep the AC in the living room on the whole night. This was our 4th holiday house through VBRO and it was the best one we’ve ever had. We recommend and would come back.

Terrific place and host!

We had a lovely week; enjoying the pool, the gardens and the stylish and well equipped property. Joyeuse is such a pretty little town and we had fun exploring it and river swimming in the surrounding areas.
