About this house rental
Located between the Verdon Gorge and the Mercantour Natural Park, Lake St. Croix and Lake Allos, La Valbonnette (a former small hamlet consisting of four stone houses) is a place rich in biodiversity and scenic beauty, unique for its seclusion and the tranquility that reigns there.
Staying here offers a complete change of scenery.
La Valbonnette is accessible only by 4x4 via a 5.5-km mid-mountain trail, ensuring complete tranquility and unspoiled nature. (A 4x4 vehicle is provided free of charge for the duration of your stay.)
You’ll be welcomed far from the noise and stress of the city at a small farm dedicated to donkey breeding, vegetable gardening, and honey production, in two comfortable, independent cottages: La Miellerie, which sleeps 9, La Bergerie, or La Fenière, which sleeps 6.
Isabelle and Michel will offer you farm-fresh products: honey, vegetables, and eggs. The location is ideal for family vacations, active getaways, or nature lovers. You can go hiking, mountain biking, take walks, swim in the river, or relax by the pond.
Isabelle offers foot reflexology sessions.
The hamlet of Valbonnette is located 30 km from Castellane (the gateway to the Verdon Gorge), where you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore Europe’s highest canyon and enjoy hiking or whitewater sports.
Lake Allos is also a must-see destination for nature lovers.

The two weeks we spent at ''La Miellerie'' have been a wonderful time for us to unwind, relax and socialise with donkeys before taking an invigorating ice-cold bath in the pool.The house with its surrounding property was beautiful and the owner Michel recommended us some great hikes around the surrounding mountains.Unfortunately we were a bit unlucky in the weather department our second week of the stay, so we had to spend a lot of time indoors, which was a bit disappointing. The cozy atmosphere of the house however, with its crackling fireplace, the large living room and the very well equipped kitchen made that not a big problem as we played board games to our heart's content.Thank you Michel and your wife for having us and the wonderful time we had.All the best, from all of us! :·)P.S. say hello to the donkeys

A wonderful week

Wir genossen die 12 Tage in La Valbonnette, die Ruhe, die Abgeschiedenheit und den erfrischenden Naturpool mit seinen wunderschönen Seerosen. Die Gite ist großzügig und hat alles, was man braucht, unzählige Betten und Zimmer, gut ausgestattete Küche, 2 Bäder, einen überdachten Außenplatz, an dem sich beim Frühstücken prima Pläne schmieden lassen, wie man den Tag verbringen möchte. Wandern, Radfahren, in der Verdonschlucht klettern oder am Schwimmteich abhängen, zwischendurch Esel streicheln - auf jeden Fall entschleunigen.
Michel baut die weltbesten Tomaten an, keine Übertreibung! Das andere Gemüse ist mindestens so gut, vor allem immer frisch geerntet und Bio, zudem günstig.
Für die Dauer des Aufenthalts kriegt man einen vierradangetriebenen Geländewagen zur Verfügung, der am Rand des Dorfes geparkt wird, wo man dann aufs Rad oder ins eigene Auto einsteigt. Die Fahrt von La Valbonnette bis ins Dorf dauert eine halbe Stunde, Schotterpiste... das kann mal lustig, mal nervig sein. WLAN gab es als wir da waren gerade nicht, aber das mobile Netz hat einigermaßen funktioniert.
Wer abschalten will, ist hier genau richtig!
