La Cardinale  

In southern France's Ardèche, perched on 65 acres above the Rhône valley in Le Pouzin. A short drive from Gare du Pouzin (2 km) and close to Viarhona, Bon Vin and Domaine du Merle Roux. This pet-friendly 4‑star hotel-restaurant blends countryside calm with easy access to the town centre.

Housed in a restored 17th‑century Provençal farmhouse, rooms mix rustic charm with modern en‑suite facilities. Most guestrooms open onto private terraces with valley and mountain views; room equipment varies by category and may include a shower, TV and mini‑bar. The hotel has an elevator and English- and French‑speaking staff.

Relax by a semi‑Olympic outdoor pool set in landscaped gardens surrounded by sunflowers, lavender and vineyards—wake up to valley and lavender mornings. Onsite bar and bright restaurant set a casual evening vibe. Free on‑site parking and pet-friendly rooms make staying simple.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property keeps you connected.

The cosy restaurant serves dishes inspired by local Rhône‑Valley produce—fruit, lavender and regional flavors—reflecting the sunny climate. Sip a drink at the bar after a day exploring nearby vineyards and trails.
