The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

The late medieval, characteristic, robust GITE MALFAY is detached and consists of 2 parts. The old house is built of thick stone walls and is built against the mountain, containing 4 bedrooms and 2 simple shower rooms with toilet. The garden house containing a kitchen, living room and adjoining terrace is located opposite the old house. The gite is beautifully situated at the end of a steep mountain road with a few vicious bends at the end, quite a challenge the first time. The Gite is surrounded by several terraces with trees and magnificent views over the Ardèche mountains. Around the Gite are several seating areas. The swimming pool is 1.40 deep with a diameter of 8.40 metres and a sun terrace with 4 loungers and 4 ordinary chairs. On a clear day, the snowy peaks of the Alps can be seen in the distance. The Gite is suitable for 2 to 8 people who love cosy simplicity and peace in nature.

    Wij houden van afgelegen, privacy, rust en natuur en dat is precies wat je hier krijgt. Altijd spannend het laatste stuk naar een onbekend plekje, en deze staat door de laatste steile bochten wel in de top 3 van onze vakantie adressen! Maar als je er eenmaal bent is het dan ook een fantastisch uitzicht. Welgeteld 5 verschillende zitplekken in de omgeving van het huis en bij het zwembad, onder een boom of in de zon. Mede hierdoor en de verschillende gebouwtjes een speels ensemble waar iedereen een plekje kan vinden om te lezen, een spelletje te doen of gewoon van het uitzicht te genieten. Omgeving uitdagend en mooi voor wielrennen.

    We hebben een heerlijke vakantieweek gehad in dit prachtige vakantiehuis. Wat een mooi uitzicht op de berg. De rit naar boven is de eerste keer even spannend, de tweede keer ben je al gewend. Het verblijf boven voelt ook heel speciaal, doordat de keuken en woonkamer zo'n mooi uitzicht hebben. Dat is echt genieten. Het zwembad was ook lekker. We komen graag nog eens terug.

    Toe aan een weekje rust; gekozen om buiten het hoogseizoen naar Malfay te trekken. Dat voelt steeds meer als thuiskomen. De weg omhoog wordt steeds gemakkelijker als je hem eenmaal gewend bent. Zelfs voor onze 5 m. lange bus zijn de bochten haalbaar! Heerlijk het houtkacheltje in de huiskamer stoken en genieten van de mooiste luchten. Met de lokale gerechten van de markt in Lamastre zoals wijn, kaasjes, paté en olijven bij de hand heel goed vol te houden. Vanuit huis een wandeling op de berg maken en daar zomaar herten treffen. Daarna vlees grillen op het houtvuur in de keuken.
    Steeds als we hier komen zien we weer verbeteringen aangebracht zonder het originele karakter van het huis aan te tasten. Het blijft gelukkig “a la campagne” anders dan thuis en daar komen we voor...
