6 Bedroom House in Gluiras
Gîte for 4 to 10 people, in the heart of nature, with exceptional views of the Monts d'Ardèche
This gîte is in a wonderful location on a south-facing slope at an altitude of 710 metres, in the heart of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park. It offers a beautiful view over the wild and romantic Glueyre valley, whose picturesque granite rock formations have been sculpted by nature.
The house is set in a 200-year-old chestnut grove and terraced.
Access is via a single-lane tarmac road. Far from the noise of traffic, surrounded by nature, you can enjoy peace and quiet here. The only other inhabitants of the hamlet are the owners. They live in one of the four stone houses in the hamlet of Chapelèche.

It is possible to hike from the gîte itself: a signposted path passes at the foot of the gîte and takes you to Gluiras in half an hour (there is a grocery shop, a café-restaurant and a gourmet restaurant).
If you continue on this path, you can return to the hamlet of Chapelèche in 3 hours, as it is a loop path that allows you to explore the surroundings perfectly: terraces, chestnut groves, meadows, streams and the crest of the mountain culminating at 1,000 metres, with views of the Vercors Massif and part of the Alpine Massif.)
The whole area around the house is easily accessible, so you can set off on long walks or mountain bike rides.
You can swim in the nearby river Glueyre, or in a supervised swimming area near Saint Sauveur de Montagut.
The "Ardelaine" wool museum is also worth a visit (in St Pierreville, 5 km away).
The river and the village are only ten minutes away.
A trip to Mont Gerbier des Joncs (the highest point in the Ardèche and source of the Loire River) is 3/4 of an hour away.
You can also visit the Grotte Chauvet (replica of a prehistoric cave recently discovered by Chauvet) (in the south of the Ardèche, about 1 hour 30 minutes' drive away).
