Description
Located on a rocky spur, Naves is a quiet medieval village that is officially designated as a “Village de Caractère”. The lively town of Les Vans is located in the valley 2 km away – or just over 1 km if hiking.
Naves has maintained its atmosphere into the 21st century thanks to the sympathetic restoration of the properties by the residents. It is a collection narrow cobbled streets that lead to village square with an 11th century church and views across the typical terrain of the southern Ardèche.
Situated between two lanes, the house can be accessed by the lower road for the Blanche de Paysac and the Pitcholine rooms. From the upper road, via a lovely vaulted ceiling, you can access the Rougette and the Frantoio rooms.
A particular feature is a beautiful stone spiral staircase that serves the family suite and the dining room.
In the central part of the house is the Library lounge and Wellness area. At this level, under a high canopy, there is a fountain and access to all parts of the house.
Then cross a small stone bridge that spans the lane, to gain access to the pool and gardens.
As soon as you cross this little bridge, you will fall under the charm of this green haven of peace.
You will first encounter a small covered seating area where you can to sit quietly enjoy a drink, read or just contemplate life – regardless of the vagaries of the weather.
Next is a lovely arbour offering protection from the sun when the shade of the centuries-old mulberry trees is insufficient. Breakfast and dinner served here.
A little further on there is the boulodrome where you can test your skills at pétanque. The best teams can compete to win an appetizer on the House!
A pool of 12 x 5 m will allow you to do a few laps, relax and freshen up after your muscles have been stretched by one or the other sports activities offered in the surrounding area.
For a quieter time, you can wander through the rest of the garden where over 500 carefully chosen plants delight the senses.
Or merely sit a while under an olive tree and enjoy the views across the roofs of the old village to the distant horizons.
