Passiflore Cottage

🌱 Welcome to Les Masades , an eco-retreat in the Cévennes National Park ! Enjoy a peaceful and rejuvenating stay in this tranquil, natural setting. Whether you're traveling as a family, a couple, or solo, this unique location at the crossroads of the Gard, Lozère, and Ardèche regions is ideal for relaxation and tranquility. Numerous outdoor activities await you nearby: hiking, swimming in Lake Villefort or the Chassezac River, and treetop adventure courses.

🏡 The Passiflore gîte is a traditional Cévennes stone house. Arrival is via the private outdoor terrace. On the ground floor, you'll find the living room/kitchen, as well as a first bedroom with three single beds. Upstairs, there's a bathroom and a second bedroom with a double bed. The toilet is a composting toilet, to conserve the water from our spring, which is precious in the summer. The kitchen is fully equipped: stovetop, oven, utensils, and coffee/tea makers to make the most of your stay. From the cottage windows, you have breathtaking views of the mountains and the surrounding landscape.

🗣 From the gîte, you have access to the communal areas of Les Masades. The village square is a place for sharing and conviviality where holidaymakers and residents of Les Masades can meet.

💦 The natural swimming pool is also a relaxing spot with its wooden deck and sun loungers, perfect for soaking up the summer sun. The pool's water comes from our spring and is naturally filtered by reeds. Generally, the pool is suitable for swimming from the end of May to the end of July, as the water level drops too low to replenish it after that time.

🧶 You can also discover the Masasdes shop , which offers items and services from the artisans of the hamlet: basketry, herbal teas, honey, jewelry, etc. Wifi access and a teleworking space are available there. You can also use the internet with the 4G network in the rest of the place, except inside stone buildings where the signal is generally weaker.

🥑 By reservation, you can enjoy on-site Rebozo relaxation treatments offered by one of the residents of the eco-village, as well as vegetarian breakfasts and dinners prepared with organic products.
