Why the swimming pool is so important in Ardèche in summer
For a holiday in Ardèche with a swimming pool, keep days that can also be spent at the gîte. A village visit or a booked outing can be followed by a meal on site and time at the pool, when it is open.
Only one main outing per day
A canoe departure, a visit to a cave and the journeys already take part of the day. Avoid booking a second activity immediately afterwards: children and adults may prefer to return to accommodation, have lunch or rest.
Choose between the river and the pool depending on the day
Swimming in the river requires checking access and the conditions of the day. The estate's swimming pool allows a break on site during its opening season, with supervision of children and pool rules to be respected.
What to compare before booking
First check the opening period, the depth of the pool and whether the pool is shared or exclusive. At the Mas, exclusivity concerns the complete privatization of the six gîtes, not the reservation of a single accommodation.
The setting and the space
At the Mas, the pool measures 10 × 5 meters, with a depth of 1.10 to 2.20 meters. The deckchairs, benches and swing allow you to stay near the pool; choose accommodation according to its beds and living spaces, as much as according to this common equipment.
The opening period
The outdoor swimming pool opens from mid-May to September depending on the weather. For October or All Saints' Day, the lodges and living areas remain open with heating included, but prepare the program without counting on the pool.
Ease for families
Each cottage has its own kitchen, toilet and shower. Several households can meet on the estate while retaining their accommodation, depending on availability and sleeping configurations; this does not reserve the swimming pool for these partial rental families only.
Le Mas d'Eylieux: a swimming pool that really accompanies the holidays
The swimming pool is part of the common areas of the estate. The lodges retain their independent kitchens and living spaces; you can alternate swimming, meals on site and outings in South Ardèche.
For a cousin or a stay with friends, specify if you wish to use the swimming pool alone: Pascale will confirm the availability of the entire area and the scope of the privatization in the quote.
Which lodging to choose according to your type of stay?
If the swimming pool is the entry criterion, the right gîte then depends on how you experience your holiday.
Family
Choose a gîte with space, a flexible pace and easy access to and from the swimming pool, so that the days remain easy to enjoy even when it's very hot.
Couple
Choose more intimate accommodation, with calm, light and a real quality of atmosphere to enjoy both the area and the outings.
Stay for several days to visit
A cottage that combines swimming pool, summer comfort and good location will make a real difference to fatigue and the smoothness of your stay.
