Holiday home with
a private padel court.
Renting a holiday home with its own padel court in France is still rare: padel grew inside urban clubs, not inside holiday accommodation. La Bergerie des Collines, a private estate in Romans-sur-Isère in the Drôme, is one of the few addresses where the padel court is on site, included in the rental and reserved for your group alone — alongside a tennis court, a city stade and a petanque pitch.
Why homes with a private padel court are so rare
A padel court costs €40,000–70,000 to build, takes up 200 m² and needs a dedicated slab, glazing and lighting. That is a club-scale investment, paid back through hourly bookings all year — a model with nothing in common with a house let by the week.
As a result, most properties advertising "padel" actually mean a partner club a few kilometres away, with slots to book and pay for separately. The difference matters when you travel as a group: a shared court imposes a schedule, a private court is yours at 7 a.m. or 10 p.m.
What to check before booking
Four questions separate a genuine private court from partner-club access:
- Is the court on the property, or at a nearby club?
- Is access included in the rental price, or charged by the hour?
- Is the estate let exclusively, or shared with other guests?
- Is the court floodlit, and until what time can you play?
Padel at La Bergerie des Collines
The padel court sits on the estate, less than a minute’s walk from the bedrooms. It is included in the rental, with no booking and no supplement, and playable from dawn to dusk — floodlighting extends play into the evening.
Because the estate is let exclusively to a single group of up to 11, the court is never shared. That makes it a fit for a weekend among playing friends, a club training camp, or a corporate seminar where a padel tournament does more for cohesion than a workshop.
Padel is not alone: a hard tennis court, a multi-sport city stade and a petanque pitch complete the set, with a heated pool for recovery and 3.5 hectares of wooded grounds for running and conditioning.
What does a holiday home with private padel cost?
At La Bergerie des Collines, padel access is part of the rental price — there is no sports supplement. The rate depends only on the season and is set out on the rates page, night by night, week by week and per person.
Spread across the group it usually works out cheaper than an equivalent club-based stay with separately billed court time, since all four pitches are unlimited.
Frequently asked questions
Are there holiday homes with a private padel court in France?
Yes, but few: padel developed in urban clubs rather than in tourist accommodation. La Bergerie des Collines, in the Drôme des Collines, is one of the addresses where the court is on site, included in the rental and reserved for the group renting the estate.
Is the padel court included in the rental price?
Yes. Padel — like tennis, the city stade and petanque — is included in the price of renting the estate, with no time slots to book and no hourly supplement.
Can you play padel in the evening?
The court is floodlit, so evening play is possible — useful in summer, when the best playing hours come after 7 p.m., and for club camps running back-to-back sessions.
Do we need to bring our own padel gear?
We recommend bringing your own rackets if you have them, especially for groups of regular players. Tell us what you need when booking and we will confirm what is available on site and where to hire nearby.
Is the estate suitable for a club camp or a seminar?
Yes. The estate hosts up to 11 people exclusively, with four pitches in free access, a kitchen equipped for a private chef and a lounge usable as a meeting room. It is the format chosen by sports clubs and companies alike.
