Domaine De Vallon

About this property

Set amid four hectares of silvery olive trees, Domaine De Vallon enjoys a charming setting, yet the characterful streets, bustling markets and inviting restaurants of Vallon-Pont-d’Arc are just a short stroll away. This beautifully restored Ardèche farmhouse offers the best of both worlds, combining the pleasures of village life with the privacy of a spacious country retreat. Add an impressive collection of wellness facilities, including a heated swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi, sauna and gym, and this exceptional home ticks all the boxes for a memorable escape with family and friends. With eight bedrooms sleeping up to 16 guests, it is a fantastic place for families and friends to gather.

Inside, exposed stone walls and thoughtfully chosen furnishings create a welcoming atmosphere. Four double bedrooms feature king or queen size beds and private shower rooms, while four further twin/doubles offer flexible sleeping arrangements. At the heart of the house on the first floor, an open kitchen, dining area and comfortable lounge encourage time together, with a generous dining table seating up to 18 guests.

Outside, days unfold around the heated saltwater swimming pool, which can also be cooled during warmer weather. Enjoy leisurely lunches prepared in the summer kitchen, challenge friends to pétanque or gather on the terrace for dinner as the sun sets over the olive groves. For moments of indulgence, a 7-person outdoor jacuzzi, adjustable Tylarium sauna and a small gym await. Billiards, table football, table tennis and darts provide entertainment for all ages, while the wine cellar offers an opportunity to discover French wines.

The location is equally appealing. Just a short stroll from the heart of Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, guests can explore bustling markets, café terraces and welcoming restaurants. Beyond the village, the spectacular Gorges de l’Ardèche invite canoeing, swimming and scenic hikes beneath dramatic limestone cliffs. Discover prehistoric art at Grotte Chauvet 2 Ardèche, just 6km away, or explore the characterful villages of Barjac, Labeaume and Joyeuse, with their cobbled streets and colourful markets.

Whether sharing long summer evenings beneath the stars, exploring the Ardèche landscapes or simply enjoying the pleasures of the estate, Domaine De Vallon offers the freedom to spend precious time together in a setting that feels entirely your own.

Set within four hectares of olive trees, Domaine De Vallon enjoys a superb setting in the heart of southern Ardèche, just 500m from the centre of Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, offering easy access to one of France’s most captivating regions. 

Wander into Vallon-Pont-d’Arc to discover its atmospheric old town, independent shops, café terraces and restaurants. Colourful markets showcase regional cheeses, olives, honey and other local specialities, while summer night markets bring a lively atmosphere to the streets on warm evenings.

The spectacular Gorges de l’Ardèche are a highlight of any stay. Carved through dramatic limestone cliffs, this remarkable landscape is best explored by canoe or kayak, following the river beneath the famous natural stone arch of Pont d’Arc. Spend sunlit afternoons swimming from the river beaches, discover scenic hiking trails with far-reaching views, or venture underground to explore the region’s fascinating caves, including the celebrated Grotte Chauvet 2 Ardèche (6km), where prehistoric cave art is brought to life.

For those who enjoy exploring on two wheels, Ardèche offers wonderful cycling opportunities. Quiet country lanes wind through vineyards, olive groves and wooded hills, passing traditional hamlets and spectacular viewpoints. Choose a leisurely family ride through the countryside or tackle more challenging routes through the limestone landscapes surrounding the Ardèche Gorges, with plenty of opportunities to pause and admire the scenery.

Beyond Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, a collection of characterful villages reveals the region’s rich heritage and relaxed southern French lifestyle, all within a 20 to 40-minute drive. Explore Barjac, known for its Renaissance architecture, antique shops and bustling markets. In Labeaume, narrow cobbled lanes and honey-coloured stone houses lead towards the river, framed by towering limestone cliffs. Joyeuse is equally rewarding, with its medieval streets, historic buildings and lively local food scene. Each village offers a different glimpse of authentic Ardèche life, from shaded café terraces to traditional markets filled with regional produce.

Whether discovering ancient caves, paddling along the river or enjoying long lunches in pretty village squares, Domaine De Vallon provides a wonderful base for experiencing the natural beauty, culture and outdoor adventures of southern Ardèche.
