Old artist's home in southern France

This authentic house is the former artist home of post-impressionist painter Cees Admiraal (1936-2005). It is located next to the historical monument; the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Sénisse from the 12th century. The house is built of thick stone walls and solid wooden beams, characteristic of the French countryside and cooling during the hot summer months.

The holiday home sleeps 2 to 4 people and is located just outside Rochebaudin (1km), a beautiful village - one of the most idyllic places in the Drôme region. This historical and spiritual place, surrounded by the mountains, small rivers, lavender fields, silence and the sun, is ideal to unwind and let your creativity flow. A place where the days are still silent and the nights are still dark.

The house is surrounded by a large garden, with a large walnut tree in the middle. In this tree is a wooden platform, on which you can lie in the tree. The house has an adjacent terrace, from which you have a panoramic view of the mountains.

The interior consists of two floors. The first floor consists of a living room with a sofa and a wood-burning stove, a kitchen, a dining area and a toilet with a washing machine. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, Senseo coffee maker and kitchen utensils such as oil, salt, pepper, etc.

On the second floor, you will find a bedroom with a double bed (180x200cm). In addition, there are two single beds, located on the landing, between the main bedroom and the bathroom. The staircase leading to the landing is equipped with a children's rack. The bathroom has a toilet, sink and shower. Bed linen, towels, hair dryer, soap and kitchen utensils are provided for you.

Besides offering a place to unwind, the location of the house is ideal for exploring the surrounding area; for example, making cycling and hiking trips through the mountains, visiting local markets, finding hidden restaurants, swimming in the rivers or in winter skiing down one of the Vercors ski resorts.

The owner will be happy to inform you about these and many other activities in the area, or you can browse the information available in the house yourself at your leisure.

With its spiritual and artistic history, this house is a pastoral place for rest and reflection, a place to feel at home and free. Enjoy a simple rural lifestyle.
