Mansion - Charming cottage - SAOU

The cottage is located on a large wooded estate (2 hectares) at the edge of the Saou forest. Bordered to the south by the Vèbre River, the Lastic Keep, built in the 16th century, has been listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments since 1926. It is an architectural gem with tasteful decoration, in a preserved natural setting, surrounded by nature but not isolated. The 10m x 5m swimming pool (unheated) is equipped with a diving pit (1.80m) and an infinity jacuzzi with a massage pump.
A charming and characterful place, ideal for an exceptional stay in all seasons, combining outdoor sports, relaxation, arts and culture, and gastronomy. The owners occupy a completely independent space in terms of access, parking, and privacy.

Amazing holiday house and location!

We enjoyed our time as two families visiting the Saou forest area - the beautiful surrounding dramatic countryside and great walks - and the unusual and amazing house that Eric and Christine welcomed us to. The pool, garden, courtyard and house were perfect for our two families, with the unusual old house a treat to spend time in, and the garden, pool, stream and surrounding area perfect to give space and time for relaxing. *A small point - the listing isn't quite right as linen is not included in the price.

Séjour SAOU

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette belle demeure. L’endroit est incroyable et les propriétaires sont très accueillants et à l’écoute, leur présence ne nous a pas gêné au contraire cela nous a aidé au cours de notre séjour. Il y a une très belle basse-cour poules paon, gentilles oies en liberté, c’est très sympathique. On peut se rafraîchir dans la rivière et la piscine est agréable. Le village de Saou est à 600m à pied avec boulangerie et épicerie. Pour ceux qui souhaitent vivre dans un endroit atypique et hors du temps je recommande vivement le logement d’Éric.

Leben im Turm

In einem Bergfried (Donjon) zu wohnen und zu leben war für uns eine schöne neue Erfahrung: ein baulich interessanter und schöner Turm, mit einem Vorhof, einem grossen Park mit zwei Lustpavillons, einer davon direkt am schönen Bach, und als diskrete Mitbenutzer des Parks: Hühner, Enten, Pfauen und Gänse, plus ein Swimmingpool (den wir der kühleren Temperatur wegen kaum nutzten) und all das in einer recht spektakulären Landschaft.

Cadre magnifique.

La maison dispose de grands espaces, à 11 nous nous sommes sentis à l'aise. Le jardin, et le massif montagneux sont magnifiques ; on peut d'ailleurs partir à pied de la maison faire quelques randonnées. La piscine est sympa, de 9h00 à 19h30, pas de bain nocturne.

Super

Très bonne expérience de la part de l'équipe de production qui a séjourné dans cet édifice au charme tout particulier à l'occasion d'un tournage dans la région. Nous sommes ravis et reviendrons avec plaisir. Merci à Eric et Christine pour leur accueil et la qualité de leur logement :)
