About this apartment rental
Located near the Ardèche Gorges and the Pont d’Arc Cave, in the Lagorce hills, the 20-hectare Pontet-Fronzele organic estate is the largest olive grove in southern Ardèche. We are delighted to welcome you to one of our charming vacation rentals in the old farmhouse (cool in summer, cozy in winter). The authentic materials and tasteful decor (antique furniture) will transport you to a timeless retreat. With a south-facing view, you can enjoy the scenery as you sit down to a meal facing the Berg mountain.
The property also features a lovely new eco-friendly building that houses our oil mill, a relaxation area, and three guest rooms.
You’ll especially enjoy
-the tranquility and authenticity of the estate dedicated to agriculture
-the relaxation area (sauna and spa) in a cozy setting ideal for couples:
-the estate’s large, inviting pool in the summer
-olive season (harvesting, guided tours, recipes) from October to December
-hiking and exploring prestigious sites year-round,
the warm welcome and advice from your hosts, who are passionate about their region and its local products. Organic breakfast and table d’hôte (by reservation)
- For children: the chance to experience life close to nature with farmyard animals—dogs, cats, and donkeys—far from the road (which gets too busy in summer) and walks through the scrubland to the sound of cicadas.

Fantastic location for a relaxing holiday! We really enjoyed the feeling of 'away from it all' as we stayed at this oil-producing farm over the New Year's week. We had the Ardèche to ourselves... The owners were very friendly during the booking and welcoming once we got there, making sure that we had the best possible stay. The apartment is well equipped (if you're missing something, just ask!) and has its own, pleasant rustic charme. The double bed is extremely comfortable and hard to get away from... Since the weather was very sunny, if a bit windy, we managed to explore many different small villages and to do some incredibly beautiful long walks, after which we could soak in the jacuzzi and have a nice sauna. As only drawback, I would say that the apartment and the spa area are more suited to a summer or mid-season stay, The floors were rather cold despite the radiators working full blast, and even in the sauna the floor didn't seem to get warm, forming then condensation visible on the glass door. Also some villages appeared like ghost towns... where do the locals hide in low season? Expect to find 90% of the restaurants closed in december, and the remaining 10% only open for lunch. But hey, we still had a fantastic holiday and loved the silence, the friendly animals running around the courtyard and the total darkness of the Lagorce nights!
