A very modern and up to date cottage with character in the centre of Chateldon

If you wish to visit a small town that has a lot of French character and a friendly population then this town is worth a visit. It is full of character, has a Chateau, has a great french bistro and bar with friendly staff and is a great place to walk in the surrounding countryside. It also has its own mineral water spring and the water is bottled as Chateldon Water. Pascale made us very welcome at the cottage and everything was as advertised. There was plenty of room and a garden at the back which we enjoyed. An excellent place to stay if you want to get away from the tourist traps and enjoy some of the real French culture and countryside.

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung südlich von Vichy. Sehr nette Gastgeberin. Guter Startort für Ausflüge in die Umgebung (Vichy 30 min; Puy de Dome oder Ambert 1h; diverse Burgen und Schlösser). Wenn man nicht hardcore Radfahrer ist, braucht man ein Auto vor Ort. Chateldon selbst bietet eine Grundausstattung mit einem kleinen Supermarkt, Bäckerei, Kiosk. Wir haben uns da sehr wohl gefühlt!
