This hotel is an absolute world championship. Both in terms of location - on a hill, which offers a wonderful view. As well as the quality of service, interior design, etc. Moreover, it can be an ideal starting point in the Ardeche Natural Park. The hotel also has a large garden and outdoor swimming pools.
