Welcome to the Gîte de la Vallée de la Tude
Perched above our 100% organic peasant farm in the pretty Tude Valley, our gîte is a traditional house that we have carefully renovated using quality materials in a spirit of simplicity and warmth. Come and recharge your batteries in this unspoilt natural setting, perfect for relaxing.
The accommodation
The accommodation
On the ground floor, the gîte has a very large living area, including a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge and a dining room, all surrounded by two fireplaces for a cosy atmosphere, one of which has a wood-burning stove for winter evenings. There is also a beautiful master suite with a bathroom (bath and shower). We've converted the first floor between the beams of the traditional roof structure to offer you a large double bedroom with en-suite shower room, an additional bedroom, as well as a dormitory/playroom that can be adapted to suit your needs, and a bathroom with bath. To make the most of the fine weather, there is also a pretty enclosed garden with trees, and a platform for the children to have a siesta or play!
