Wonderful!

Superb property in beautiful area.
My wife and I have just returned from our third stay at this delightful house in Rivel. The house is in a secluded position, not overlooked and with neighbouring properties far enough away to almost disappear, yet it is on the edge of the tiny, medieval village of Rivel and, just a few kilometres away, is the small market town of Chalabre.
The house is spacious and airy with lovely views of the surrounding hills and woodland from the windows and garden. It is superbly fitted out with everything one can think of, from kitchen equipment, lounging comforts, to patio and poolside furniture. The pool is lovely, when we were there the temperatures were reaching the mid thirties so we spent much time immersed in the cool water. Unusually, this property also offers secure, off road parking for at least two cars. A big plus for us as we love touring France in our Morgan sports car.
Sue, the property owner, provides excellent communications both before, and during your stay, should it be necessary. Her team that service the house, pool and garden all live locally, speak english and can solve any problem that may arise.
We highly recommend this villa for a holiday encompassing all the best that France has to offer.
A lovely villa in a quiet village
Really great place for a change of pace and a relaxing holiday. Good facilities and plenty of room for all the family.
Un séjour très agréable
Nous avons passé une semaine pour la fin de l'année 2016 dans la maison de Rivel. Une maison spacieuse très agréable à vivre même à plusieurs. La maison est très bien équipée. Nous avons grandement apprécié le poêle à bois qui nous a bien chauffé la maison. La vue sur la nature est incroyable en particulier depuis la véranda où se trouve le salon et le poêle. Sue est une hôte très agréable qui fait tout son possible pour que votre séjour se passe bien.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
More than lovely!
Perfect house, fully equipped and very happy to have stayed there! Sorry we had to go home...
Especially the pool and spacious porch were fantastic. Superb spot in the neighborhood with lots of things to do, see and experience. (all information in the house of course...). Beautifull landscape in the area and the communication with the owners of the house was kind and good. Will definately recommend and we will come back again!
A lovely villa in a beautiful location
We were a large group - 7 adults and 2 babies - and the villa was much appreciated by all. Very roomy, excellent facilities, clean, tidy and well maintained. Despite the autumnal weather, we made good use of the heated pool (large, clean and warm!) and Rivel is a lovely spot from which to explore the region. We were provided with lots of information on the operation of the villa's heating systems, the kitchen / laundry equipment etc and lots of useful info on local facilities and places to visit. We had a wonderful time!
Beautiful villa, stunning gardens, pool & views
Just returned from the most wonderful holiday in Rivel. Reached via a picture-perfect tree lined avenue, the villa is beautiful; very clean, homely and better equipped than our own home, Sue has thought of everything, which made for a very easy, stress free, idyllic holiday. The large garden is stunning and very private with spectacular hillside views (made even more lovely by visiting donkeys in the field next to the house and the sound of cow bells on the hillside!). The pool was fantastic, and being larger than average it was roomy enough to swim lengths, even when our 3 children plus inflatables were in the pool! This, combined with the extensive gardens and lovely patio area, well equipped with loungers, parasols, dining table etc meant we enjoyed several relaxing days "at home" . Lots to see and do in the immediate area, and within a short drive; our favourite place being the beautiful town of Mirepoix, around 20 minutes away (fantastic market on Mondays and look out for the vide grenier (attic sale/flea markets on certain Sundays). Lovely family friendly restaurant 10 minutes walk away. Sue made the booking process so easy and stress free, she maintained regular contact with us prior to the holiday, answered all of our questions and provided so much additional information on the house and surrounding area. Thank you Sue for a perfect holiday. We'll definitely be back !
