Presentation

In an old 17th century stone farmhouse, completely renovated, on the sunny heights of a preserved valley, our warm, fully equipped accommodation awaits you. Le Récatou is a large, comfortable gîte with 14 beds. Swimming pool and sauna.

In the commune of Vanosc, 18 km from Annonay, the Chirol gîtes are located at an altitude of 870 m on the southern slope of the unspoilt Pinsole valley. They benefit from an exceptional environment: on site, hiking trails, mountain bike trails, to the south the Regional Natural Park of the Ardèche mountains and to the north the Pilat Regional Park.

Le Récatou offers a fully equipped kitchen, a large living room, a dining room with a large table, 5 bedrooms (including 3 with a double bed that can be separated into 2 single beds), 3 shower rooms and 3 toilets, 2 sunny terraces facing East and West, one of which has a table and benches for dining and 2 gardens with armchairs and a hammock.

Beds made. Household linen provided (tea towels, bath mats). Towels extra.
Shared heated swimming pool from the end of May to the end of September. Sauna in the heart of nature, with magnificent views, all year round depending on the weather (extra charge). Boules pitch.
Possibility of a ride with a donkey for half a day or a full day.

The Le Récatou gîte shares this magnificent Chirol site with our house and 3 other accommodations: La Chirolaise (gîte for 10), the P'tit Chirol (gîte for 2) and a canvas lodge "Under the stars" for 5 /7. All these accommodations are independent and not adjoining.
The Chirol lodgings are appreciated for their tranquility! Also, for the respect of all, it is requested to respect the calm outside especially after 22 p.m.

Outside ... * In order to participate in the preservation of the Pinsole valley with its varied fauna and flora, we do not use any pesticides in the maintenance of green spaces; * All the vegetables that we offer to holidaymakers are grown in permaculture with no other input than the manure from our donkeys; * We encourage links with local producers who often offer organic products.
