Chambre de maître très confortable. Vue exceptionnelle sur la vallée. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en grande partie grâce à la gentillesse et à la convivialité des propriétaires. Une belle rencontre ##### Pascal B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippe S. Aug 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Bâtiment exceptionnel dans cadre exceptionnel Le bâtiment est superbe et équipé tout confort. Rien ne manque. On vit pleinement le fait d'être dans un petit château, aux murs épais, avec son escalier de pierre et sa chambre dans la tour. La vallée est extraordinaire et finalement assez peu fréquentée ce qui en fait un endroit d'autant plus appréciable. ##### Philippe S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clemo C. Aug 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Un cadre chargé d'histoire au coeur d'une nature sauvage Le château est le fruit d'une restauration hors du commun. Il est en outre très fonctionnel. La vue est splendide et les baignades toutes proches. Nous avons également profité du pittoresque hameau de Thines et des nombreuses activités dans le coin (ballade, pêche, équitation). Les propriétaires sont fort sympathiques et nous ont réservé un excellent accueil. Ils logent à coté du château et sont toujours présents en cas de question. ##### Clemo C.

On arrive presque par hasard au château de Longueville, notre séjour entre amis était fixé autour d'un cahier des charges auquel répondait complètement le gite. Mais Longueville se mérite et c'est bien là son principal défaut ou sa qualité première pour nous qui cherchions le calme. L'endroit est majestueux mais vraiment très escarpé et la route qui nous y mène est vraiment très technique. La demeure a été rénové avec tout le confort moderne et vraiment on y sent très vite bien. Une petite vie de châtelain avec le confort du 21eme siècle. Michele et Jean Francois que tout le monde appelle Franckie sont vraiment deux hôtes charmants, passionnés, tournés vers les autres et prêts à partager leur passion et fiers de leurs beaux projets. Le village de Thines se situe à 20 minutes de marche et on y trouve deux petits restaurants. Thines est un village délicieux où règne une atmosphère communautaire et sympathique avec un fort dynamisme pour ce lieu si reculé. Malgré la sensation que le temps s'est arrêté, on a pu profité d'une exposition de deux talentueuses graphistes, un concert d'un orchestre de cordes d'une qualité époustouflante et nous avons participé à une fête de village organisée par l'association des amis deThines. En synthèse le château est magnifique mais vraiment loin de le première ville et la route est vraiment ardue. Les propriétaires sont attendrissants et passionnés, on vient à Longueville pour le calme, la verdure, la montagne, un retour à la nature et pour une volonté délibérée de se centrer sur l'essentiel. Merci à Michèle, Franckie, les personnes de la "maison de la Gerboule" et tous les gens qui nous ont tant surpris. ##### Christophe F.

Hors concours Vacances 2015 des plus dépaysantes, au sein d'une nature presque intacte et encore sauvage, entre les murs épais d'un authentique château fort du XIIIè. Un cadre exceptionnel ! Nous ne sommes pas près d'oublier l'accueil chaleureux de Michèle et Frankie, leur présence attentive et bienveillante, leurs bons plans, leurs "apéros" à rallonge, se révélant de véritables menus dégustation, leur enthousiasme communicatif pour la région, ses produits, ses habitants. Et puis, le récit passionnant - photos à l'appui - de l'audacieuse restauration, magnifiquement réussie, de ces lieux magiques. Longue vie à Longueville et à ses hôtes si attachants ! Annik et Marc Braine-le-Château (Belgique) ##### Annik V. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean F. Mar 27, 2014 #### La vie de château Situé au cœur de la montagne ardéchoise, à l'ombre des châtaigneraies, ce magnifique château médiéval superbement restauré par le propriétaire lui-même possède un charme et un confort auxquels il ne manque rien. Équipé de façon moderne, il garde son authenticité, avec ses chambres vastes et lumineuses, ouvertes sur la vallée, ses salles de bains complètes, sa bibliothèque bien garnie dans une pièce à l'atmosphère "d'époque", ses deux grands séjours confortables et sa terrasse si propice aux petits déjeuners. Ce n'est pas un château de poupée ou de princesse mais une solide bâtisse dont Frankie vous racontera l'histoire. Avec Michèle, il saura aussi vous faire partager leur amour de l'Ardèche et tous deux vous accompagneront découvrir ses richesses touristiques et gastronomiques (Ah les omelettes aux cèpes !) Plus que des propriétaires, ils sont devenus de vrais amis. Le château est accessible à tous et nous recommandons vivement cette location au rapport qualité prix exceptionnel. ##### Jean F. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Alt Hotel St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-St-Johns.h19705629.Hotel-Information) > > [The Glenmore Inn & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-The-Glenmore-Inn-Convention-Centre.h82260.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Lyon.h21366.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTELAir Paris CDG - Transit Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Mesnil-Amelot-Hotels-YOTELAir-Paris-CDG-Transit-Hotel.h18900469.Hotel-Information) > > [Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels-Cour-Des-Loges.h803211.Hotel-Information) > > [Lily of the Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Maxime-Saint-Tropez-Hotels-Lily-Of-The-Valley.h36418920.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Hotel Lyon - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels-Hotel-Carlton-Lyon-MGallery-Hotel-Collection.h3248.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Les Aiglons Chamonix ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chamonix-Mont-Blanc-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Refuge-Des-Aiglons.h189436.Hotel-Information) > > [Econo Lodge Inn & Suites University](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Inn-Suites-University.h41383.Hotel-Information) > > [MiHotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels-MiHotel.h10243958.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpina Eclectic Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chamonix-Mont-Blanc-Hotels-Alpina-Eclectic-Hotel.h175025.Hotel-Information) > > [The Jangle Hotel - Paris - Charles de Gaulle - Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Mesnil-Amelot-Hotels-The-Jangle-Hotel-Paris-CDG-Airport.h7980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Restaurant & Spa Au Tilleul](https://www.expedia.ca/Labaroche-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-Spa-Au-Tilleul.h24067602.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Lyon Centre Perrache](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels-Ibis-Lyon-Centre-Perrache.h18288.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Kelowna Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Kelowna-Hotel-Suites.h2931.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Club Mougins](https://www.expedia.ca/Mougins-Hotels-Le-Club-Mougins.h1967419.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Lyon Patio Confluence](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyon-Hotels-Quality-Suites-Lyon-Confluence.h5421202.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/yyz/mumbai-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to San José del Cabo (SJD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sjd/toronto-to-san-jose-del-cabo) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Munich (MUC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/muc/vancouver-to-munich) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fll/toronto-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Porter Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Porter-Airlines-Flights.cPD.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars ### Packages ### General
