Apartments in a Provençal Farmhouse in the Drôme Charols, 20 minutes Montélimar, 1 hour Avignon
1, 2 or 3 bedrooms, sleeping: 2, 4 or 6 people. With pool. La Roche Colombe is an architect restored Provence farmhouse, imaginatively built around an arched courtyard on the site of a Roman villa, where we have five independent gite apartments, each with their own individual charm and character. We are peacefully set amongst sunflower and lavender fields, surrounded by stunning panoramic views of the mountains and ever changing colours throughout the day.
The atmosphere that we like to create is restful and friendly. In the shady gardens and extensive grounds, there are plenty of quiet places to sit and read or chat over a glass of chilled rosé, or laze by the pool, relishing the view or even playing a game of boules.
We are thrilled that La Roche Colombe has been featured in editorals of French Property News, France Magazine and in the Figaro. Many of our visitors return time and again and many particularly enjoy Bob’s home cooked dinners, four evenings a week, prepared with fresh garden and local produce.
La Roche Colombe is in a country location in Charols, near the medieval crusader village of Manas. Only 4 minutes away is our nearest village, Cleon d’Andran, which has banks, shops, a supermarket and restaurants. Within a few minutes drive, other restaurants offer different styles of cuisine and ambience with menus to suit all pockets.
We have converted the original farmhouse into 5 luxury gite apartments, all with independant access and either a private balcony or terraces equipped with barbeques and out door eating facilities, allowing you peace and privacy. The furnishings are very comfortable and imaginative, hand painted furniture and original art work add individual character to each apartment and lime washed walls reflect subtle Provencal ochre pigments.
All the gites are fully equipped with a washing machine and dishwasher, a full sized oven and hob, microwave and fridge freezer, stereo and satellite television, Dvd, as well as a barbeque and outside dining furniture. Hairdryers are provided and a cot and highchair can be provided. Our library has a huge selection of books, maps, local information and Dvd’s.
