The mill at Solaure en Diois
Rental of charming cottages and guest rooms on the banks of the Drôme, at the foot of the Vercors cliffs, 5 minutes from Die
This medieval mill, renovated with love, in an exceptional setting, is the ideal place to unwind and spend a peaceful stay near the water in complete safety.
We welcome you in our 2 classified cottage 
Beautiful trees shade the property and all summer you can hear the song of the cicadas. The impressive south Vercors cliffs dominate the valley and bring pleasant freshness every night.
Clear water from the river Drôme runs all year round on its pebbles. It moves in its bed according to its desires and leaves here and there some pretty small natural pools where to swim and small sandy beaches, a few steps away from the mill. Mosquitoes are very rare here thanks to fish, frogs and dragonflies.
Our neighbours, the beavers, have made several nests which they choose to occupy depending on the water level. They leave some “dams” and nibbled branches on the banks. It is possible to observe them at the end of the day.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our favourite spots to make the most of your stay and prepare your next excursions.
