Charming traditional Ardèche house

With a lovely view over the valley, close to water, easy accesible. The house is fine and has everything you need for a quiet holiday.

We had issues with our car and the host was super supportive helping us out. The house itself was simple but everything was working well. The bikes were in very good condition and there was a gorgeous spot at the river that was close by. We can definitely recommend the place.

Overall, our stay in St. Fortunat was amazing. Anne and Francois were here upon our arrival to show us the house even though our flight got delayed by over a day! They are friendly and welcoming. The house is most certainly rustic and that is exactly what we were looking for. We had some amazing weather, except for the last day. It was too hot to go out and we stayed in instead. Thank god for the one fan! The house is spacious enough with a very odd layout. The deck was amazing in the morning while having coffee. The view was splendid. The smell of the honeysuckle peeking through was divine. There were neighbors close by that we barely saw, though we did meet their dog who decided to guide us one day all the way down the river. He was a charm! The kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was fine. Having a washing machine and a dishwasher was also a plus. A few things that I would categorize as cons are as follows: The wifi didn't reach the bedroom off of the kitchen at all, so our teenage daughter ended up sleeping in our bedroom the entire time instead of her own. Also, minor issue, the scissors need to be replaced. They were too blunt to cut anything. The broom also comes apart and needs fixing or replacing. The last thing that didn't make sense to me at all is the fact that at the last minute we were told that we had to bring our sheets or pay 50 euros extra for them. I never stayed in a property where sheets weren't provided and it is certainly not something I travel with, especially overseas. The owners said it was mentioned in the description but as of today 7/26/22, I cannot find any mention of it. I'd recommend the owners just add it to the price. There were plenty for us to use but as agreed, we did leave the 50 behind. One last thing I'll mention is the fact that while there is a lot to see and visit around the area, driving anywhere meant getting on endless windy roads that are most certainly not meant to be too lane roads. Overall though, we had a very pleasant stay. If you want peace and quiet and an amazing view, then you won't be disappointed, just figure out the sheets issue first.

We really enjoyed our stay in Saint-Fortunat. The view from the terrace is very pretty, though the mosquitos became a bit pesky later during the day. Generally, the accommodation had everything we needed. For people who like to cook a lot, two hotplates might not be enough and the kitchen is fairly small - but very well equipped apart from that. The surroundings are very pretty and a secluded place to swim in the river is close by. Overall, we warmly recommend this vacation home.
