The house
Your holiday dreams will come true in this very cosy house with private pool, hot tub, pizza oven, playground, swings, gnome forest and a babbling river where children can build dams!
Holiday home Le Rêve in Drôme Provençale is a destination that enchants you from the moment you step inside and where you immediately feel at home.
Surrounded by idyllic countryside, clean air, away from the hustle and bustle, where life is pure enjoyment.
At Le Rêve, everything is about creating the wonderful holiday experience and experiencing fantastic moments for you and your family, friends, cycling buddies, hiking companions, yogis or painting friends.
Discover its paradisiacal setting: situated on a quietly babbling river, just outside a charming medieval village, hidden in the breathtaking Regional Parc de Baronnies Provençales at the crossroads of the departments of Drôme, Hautes Alpes, Provence-Alpes- Côte d'Azur and Vaucluse.
Here, the rugged Alps merge with panoramic views, the azure river Meouge and the sweetness of Provence with its lavender fields, olive groves and vast vineyards.
Stroll through picturesque villages, admire historical heritage and enjoy Provencal weekly markets with cosy terraces. The famous wineries around Mont Ventoux await your visit. In summer, the area bustles with activities, from lavender and wine festivals to village flea markets.
For the sporty and adventurous spirits among you, the area offers endless possibilities. The holiday home is in the midst of numerous hiking and cycling routes, with 2 paragliding schools just 10 km away, the internationally renowned climbing village of Orpierre at 22 km and the majestic Mont Ventoux at 35 km.
Le Rêve itself is like a warm hug - cosy, colourful, comfortable and filled with everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
The spacious, well-equipped kitchen with two dishwashers, two fridges and all utensils is fully at your disposal.
The cosy, bright rooms offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, and the comfortable two-metre-long beds guarantee a blissful night's sleep.
How about a refreshing dip in our sparkling pool, relaxing in the hot tub or chilling in the hammock in the shade under the old trees?
The large, fully enclosed child-friendly garden is a delight in itself: a secluded pool with barbecue and picnic tables, several spots in the garden with long tables, a pizza oven, a swing, a gnome forest for the children, a playing field and a babbling river where the children can build dams to their heart's content. If you have had enough of playing in the sun, the old trees and gazebos offer plenty of shady spots to chill out.
The romantic rocking bench by the babbling brook provides a perfect setting for evening get-togethers. And when night falls, enjoy a glass of wine in the hot tub while admiring the starry sky.
Oh yes. And for cyclists, there is a shed for bikes and a washing area to get your bike shining again.
The climate here is truly unique. With 320 sunny days a year and cool nights even in summer at an altitude of 700 metres, air conditioning is unnecessary. Close the shutters during the day and open the windows at night for a lovely breeze.
And the best news: almost no mosquitoes, so you can enjoy the outdoors undisturbed!
In July, the fragrant, purple lavender fields enchant the area. And from June to October, the region is bursting with vibrant village and wine festivals, artistic and musical events.
And let's not forget Mont Ventoux, the dream for cycling enthusiasts!
In short, Le Rêve is a paradise for families, friends, nature lovers, cyclists, sun worshippers, peace seekers, painters, hikers and anyone who wants to push their limits.
So don't wait any longer and let your dream holiday begin at Holiday home Le Rêve.

Reviews
Hermien Peeters from Enspijk,
Wat een sfeervol huis met keurig ingerichte kamers en een ruime open keuken. Dit alles in een prachtig gebied met vele mogelijkheden voor iedereen, wandelen, fietsen, mooie dorpjes bezoeken en zelfs een ruim uur rijden van een uitgebreid skigebied. Het was geweldig, om hier met een leuk stel mensen te zijn geweest.Jammer, dat het te koud was om gebruik te maken van het zwembad :)
Marcel from Leiden,
Heerlijk huis, gelegen in een prachtige omgeving geschikt voor fietsen (pittig!), wandelen, parapenten. Wij waren hier met een groep van 15 fietsers. Zelf koken, eten op het terras. De eigenaars zijn erg vriendelijk en bereid je overal bij te helpen. Het dorpje Lachau en de omgeving ademen rust en je hebt het gevoel hier helemaal op te kunnen gaan in het Franse leven. 400 meter verderop is verse geitenkaas te koop direct van de boer. 2 restaurantjes in het dorp.
