La Clède is a charming 250 year old property set in its own delightful large garden (2000SqM) with views over the stunning countryside in the Southern Ardeche and accessed via a paved road that winds up through the vineyards. Ribes consists of around 20 enchanting hamlets in this award winning area, set amidst the Parc Naturel Règional des Monts d‘Ardèche. The property has the benefit of being close to the river Beaume 3Km with many bathing opportunities. With its Mediterranean climate spring arrives early, the summer is long and the autumn months divine. There is a large covered sun terrace for alfresco dining. The delightful well-established terraced garden offers an endless choice of spots to sit in the sun or cool off in the shade, all with plenty of seating. La Clède has recently undergone a major refurbishment programme and is tastefully modernised whilst making use of the natural features and materials. The comprehensively and newly equipped kitchen is complete with dishwasher and a large fridge freezer to help make self-catering as easy as possible. All bedrooms are en-suite including a newly built high end bathroom. Wifi is available and there is plenty of private parking in front of the property for two vehicles. Ribes is located on a sunny promintary close to the town of Joyeuse with its weekly well renowned market. The river Beaume is a short distance away and is great for splashing about with the children or simply relaxing on one of the small sandy beaches. The area around Ribes has many beautiful walks starting from the property, cycling both on and off road is simply superb, bike hire is available nearby. Canoeing/kayaking down the Ardeche Gorge is very popular with an easily accessible, but far less commercialised start point of Balazuc, a well renowned "beau village".
