Depontet-Fronzele Oil Mill: “Le Laurier” Vacation Rental

Located near the Ardèche Gorges and the Pont d’Arc Cave, in the Lagorce hills, the 20-hectare Pontet-Fronzele organic estate is the largest olive grove in southern Ardèche. We are delighted to welcome you to one of our charming vacation rentals in the old farmhouse (cool in summer, cozy in winter). The authentic materials and tasteful decor (antique furniture) will transport you to a timeless retreat. With a south-facing view, you can enjoy the scenery as you sit down to a meal facing the Berg mountain.

The property also features a lovely new eco-friendly building that houses our oil mill, a relaxation area, and three guest rooms.

You’ll especially enjoy
-the tranquility and authenticity of the estate dedicated to agriculture
-the relaxation area (sauna and spa) in a cozy setting ideal for couples:
-the estate’s large, inviting pool in the summer
-olive season (harvesting, guided tours, recipes) from October to December
-hiking and exploring prestigious sites year-round,
the warm welcome and advice from your hosts, who are passionate about their region and its local products. Organic breakfast and table d’hôte (by reservation)
- For children: the chance to experience life close to nature with farmyard animals—dogs, cats, and donkeys—far from the road (which gets too busy in summer) and walks through the scrubland to the sound of cicadas.
