A house of light,
stone and stories
Mas de Louise is a 430 m² home set within 7,000 m² of Ardèche countryside — eight suites, each bearing a family name. A place where ancient stone meets the light, where every room carries a soul, and where guests come to reconnect, celebrate, breathe and slow down.

have to tell
Behind every stone, a decision. Behind every space, a transmission. This is what makes Mas de Louise a place unlike any other.
An Ardèche farmhouse,
two centuries of family
At the outset, a farmhouse built by hand by a farmer from the Coiron plateau, in the heart of the Southern Ardèche. The walls were raised from volcanic stone quarried at Beaupré, the family farm belonging to Louise's parents, Christine and Philippe — a dark, dense basalt characteristic of the Ardèche subsoil, which gives the house its singular minerality and timeless solidity.
Over the generations, the farmhouse became a family gîte — modest, authentic — never leaving the family. Every stone carries the memory of those who laid it, lived within it and passed it on.
Reborn without
being reinvented
To carry out the renovation, Louise drew on her parents' nearby farm as a base of life and resources. Materials were sourced from the region — Massangis stone, solid local oak, reclaimed Ardèche terracotta tiles — and laid by local craftsmen, several of whom hold the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant distinction.
The ambition was never to build a hotel, but to reveal what the house already held within it: its volumes, its light, its silence. Every intervention sought to honour the soul of the building rather than erase it.

Facing the tower
of Mirabelle
The Mas enjoys a direct view over the medieval tower of Mirabelle — a stone silhouette rising from the Coiron hills, visible from the terraces and several suites. A horizon that roots the estate in the long history of this Ardèche land.
Set a few minutes from the village of Lussas (07170) in the Southern Ardèche, the Mas is both secluded and well placed: close to the Ardèche gorges, local markets and the Vivarais wine routes.

Designed for
every generation
Mas de Louise was conceived to welcome several generations under one roof. One ground-floor suite has been adapted for reduced mobility: no thresholds, a wide-access wet room with walk-in shower, and generous circulation space.
For older guests, those with reduced mobility or families with young children, comfort is not an option — it is simply how things are. The Mas adjusts to every need, without anyone having to ask twice.
Accessible · Ground-floor adapted suite availableMake the Mas
entirely yours
Mas de Louise is available for full private hire: family gatherings, executive retreats or photography shoots. From two days to a week, the house adapts to your project.
