Catherine and Jean-Hervé Alloin welcome you to their Accueil Vélo-certified guest house, located in a former 17th-century mill in Hières-sur-Amby, a stone's throw from ViaRhôna, in a green setting conducive to relaxation.
Located just a short distance from the Rhône and the ViaRhôna cycle route, the Moulin du Violet welcomes you to a unique, historic setting.
This former 17th-century mill, carefully restored, offers two comfortable guest rooms tastefully furnished by owners who are passionate about heritage and cycling. It is the ideal place for a rejuvenating stay in the Balcons du Dauphiné, whether as a couple, a family, or during a cycling tour.
The Cascade room, designed for a stay for two, features a double bed (140 x 190 cm) and a private shower room.
The second room, arranged as a duplex, can accommodate up to four guests: a double bed (140 x 190 cm) and a shower room on the first level, and two adjustable single beds (90 x 190 cm) upstairs.
Each room is equipped with a hospitality tray. On request, a baby bed and suitable equipment (bath, high chair, changing table) can be provided.
Breakfast, made up of local produce and mostly homemade items, is served in the owners’ dining room or on the covered terrace depending on the season.
As Accueil Vélo–certified hosts, the owners, cyclists themselves, do everything possible to make your cycling stopover easier :
Guest meals are not offered, but a semi-covered area is available for preparing your own meals: a small kitchen area, table, storage space and, in summer, a plancha grill.
Additional services for cycle tourists include:
- A secure bike room, fully equipped with everything needed for minor repairs.
- A secure luggage storage area so you can explore the surroundings freely before continuing your journey.
- Personalised advice thanks to the owners’ in-depth knowledge of the region and the ViaRhôna.
- Comprehensive documentation: ViaRhôna maps, cycling guides, and practical information to help you plan and enjoy your itinerary in the Balcons du Dauphiné.
On the ground floor, you can enjoy a friendly space with a pool table, table football and board games.
Outdoors, the property offers an unheated swimming pool, a shaded garden, a pétanque court, a terrace and a gym.
