Shades of blue are used for L’Ecurie. It has an open-plan lounge and kitchen/dining area and two double bedrooms. The main bedroom converted from the old cellar has a double bed and has retained the original arched ceiling and stone wall - it has space for a baby bed. The second bedroom has twin beds and is ideal for 2 children but can equally be made up as a double. There is a large walk-in shower, washbasin, WC and heated towel rail in the bathroom. The property is reached through the white courtyard gates and is all on the ground floor of the building featured in the courtyard photo. It has use of the inner courtyard (shared with the owners but subtly separated) and full use of a large stone BBQ located at the far end of the courtyard. The courtyard is a real suntrap and ideal for those wishing to while-away the Summer evenings admiring the sky and bird-life. L’Ecurie is cool, light and ideal for a family of 4. The Mournet is a traditional Ardechois farmhouse completely renovated in 1990 to reflect its original charm. Further renovations in 2002 converted the buildings into holiday properties with a touch of modern luxury. Three parts of the farmhouse – the garden level (La Chataigne), the stables in the courtyard (L’Ecurie) and the barn at road level (La Grange)- are now completely independent holiday accommodation from which you can fully appreciate the beauty and tranquillity of this largely undiscovered region. Each property has been created to have its own private entrance and terrace and/or garden with BBQ and garden furniture and each property offers its own unique charm, style and colour scheme with modern comforts, a contemporary feel and a real home away from home. The 12m x 6m Swimming Pool (salt water filter) is situated in the south-facing gardens that slope gently down to the Glueyre River where you can fish for trout, play in the natural rock pools (for kids of all ages) or just enjoy the view. Local Information [Local Icons] The Mournet is situated at the entrance of the village of Albon in the heart of the Boutières Park at an altitude of 630m. The village benefits from a warm climate and despite the tranquil environment the house is only 500m from the village shop & bakery (open Sunday mornings as well), Tabac and bar. We (the discrete English / French owners) live in part of the property and Charlotte (the English one!) is a qualified yoga teacher so if you want a private yoga session let me know. In the villages nearby there are tennis courts, canoe-kayaking, restaurants, shops and bars. There is a private tennis court 5 minutes walk from Le Mournet and we have an agreement with the owner to rent nit by the hour for a small fee paid locally. The entire area is packed with beautiful walks through chestnut woods and the river meanders down through beautiful gorges where you can swim and fish. This area is a must if you are a fan of great country walks, splendid views, nature at its finest and totally unspoilt countryside" The Ardèche is best known for the majestic gorges of the Ardèche, 50 km of spectacular natural beauty where you can go canoe-kayaking, swimming, walking, rock climbing, hang-gliding, absailing & white water rafting and visit the spectacular Vallon Pont d’Arc, the natural rock arch of the Ardèche gorges. ...alternatively you can just sit back, relax and drink a glass of local wine surrounded by nature, the true France Profonde with touch of modern luxury.
