Les Terrasses de Saint-Alban 4*, calm, comfort and natural spaces

Just a short distance from the riverside, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Cévennes National Park or the 16-minute drive to Balazuc Loisirs Celine (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1507-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer. Other amenities include a BBQ grill, bed sheets, an ironing board, and soundproofing.
