Domaine des Grillons

It spans 17 hectares and offers 180° views of its lavender fields, the estate's woods, and as far as the Ardèche and Cévennes mountains. The stone building has expanded over time to become a comfortable family home that welcomes you with warmth and conviviality. The Domaine des Grillons, an exclusive retreat, cultivates the art of hospitality and shares the art of living in harmony with nature. Its gate opens onto an avenue of olive trees and century-old oaks, imbuing the place with a sense of calm, serenity, and well-being that is immediately apparent. The majestic linden tree that stands in front of the house, a testament to centuries past, offers our guests delightful shade as they savor breakfasts carefully prepared by the hostess with selected produce from surrounding farms, from the Drôme and Ardèche regions, ranging from savory to sweet. Unless the inspiration of the moment takes you to the summer kitchen or poolside. In winter, breakfasts or dinners will be served in the sheepfold, now a spacious eat-in kitchen, by the warmth of the fireplace or the old wood-burning stove, perfect for preparing delicious dishes. The host will open his rum, whisky, and cigar cellar to connoisseurs. The estate features a large swimming pool with a pool house and a vast panoramic esplanade overlooking the lavender fields, allowing everyone to find their own relaxation area. Every evening you will discover the fabulous spectacle offered by the sunset from this point of view. You can also walk, picnic in the fields, groves and woods of the Estate, discover the stream which winds there as well as the seven masets which are hidden there, witness to the time when the property was a place of hermitage benefiting from the proximity of the Abbey of Ayguebelle.
