Vacation Home SALAZAC
VILLA GRENACHE

VILLA GRENACHE
This beautiful luxury villa is set on the edge of the medieval hilltop village of Salazac, affording a combination of ambience and privacy. It is set amongst Cote du Rhone vineyards and enjoys views to the South-West.

The village itself is very picturesque. It no longer has any shops or restaurants but a local butcher and local baker visit the square two or three times a week. The nearest café is in St. Julien de Peyrolas (about 5 min drive down the hill towards Pont Saint Esprit). A further 5 minutes drive takes you to the village of St. Martin d’ Ardeche with boulangeries, cafes, shops and restaurants. This village is extremely popular with canoeists as it is located at the bottom end of the famous "Descente de l’Ardeche" day trip. So, within 10 minutes to the north you are in the spectacular Ardeche gorges and within 10 minutes to the south you are in the beautiful but very different Ceze valley. There are two large market towns within 15 minutes drive with full local facilities: Pont St. Esprit and Bagnols sur Ceze.


Accommodation

The house itself is fully modernized and decorated in the local and modern style to a high order. There are:
2 double bedrooms
2 twin bedrooms
A marble shower room
2 separate WC


The kitchen is fully equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, very large fridge, microwave, iron and coffee machine.
Open plan style dining/sitting room with large table and sitting area. There is also a TV, a music centre, books, magazines.
Sheets are provided but not towels.


The Area

There is so much to do in the area; the Mediterranean coast is just over one hour drive (to either side on the Rhone towards Marseilles or Montpellier. On your way, you would pass through the Camargue National Park, famous for its pink flamingo's and white horses. The Cevennes National Park to the west of the house is also well worth a visit for beautiful scenery. Avignon, Nimes, Orange, the Pont du Gard are all within 40 minutes by car. The breathtaking underground caverns at Orgnac are only a few kilometers from the recently discovered Chauvet caves. Other activities which draw people to this area are fishing, walking, horse riding.
On different days of the week you can visit the excellent bustling Provence markets with their wonderful local produce (olives, goat’s cheese, fruits, asparagus, seafood) and of course go wine tasting with Chateaneuf-du-Pape only half an hour away)

I provide lists of my recommendations of what to do, where to find good wine and the best restaurants and a list of useful telephone numbers and general information.
