splendide séjour dans une maison chargée d'histoire (s). Elle est grande, superbement équipée, et si le chemin pour y arriver est rude, quel bonheur de découvrir une belle demeure, une terrasse ombragée, un petit bâtiment annexe qui fait remise. Hormis l'équipement hyper complet, les chambres et pièces de vie confortables et grandes, il y a des possibilités de randonnées dés la porte de la maison qui vous font découvrir les environs sans prendre la voiture. Vraiment un lieu à recommander sans hésitation et en toute confiance.

La table est très grande et les chaises parfaites.Mme Vachet est vraiment très gentille et contente de nous faire connaître cette belle région. Elle met à disposition de très nombreuses documentations et nous donne toutes les informations utiles.Nous avons découvert de beaux sites. Petits et Grands ont été ravis car les activités ne manquent pas.C'est un endroit très calme et ressourçant nous vous le recommandons.

Vacances en Haute Loire

Vacances au calme dans au centre d'un petit village typique de la Haute Loire, proche des sentiers de randonnée et des spots de baignade. De nombreuses visites de villes et villages dans les environs. Maison bien adaptée à notre famille avec grands enfants et neveux, moins bien adaptée à notre chien qui aurait nécessité un grand jardin clôturé. Merci à notre hôte pour sa gentillesse et pour les œufs de la ferme. .

Reconnexion nature

Jolie maison ancienne au milieu d'un petit village en pleine nature. Pas de connexion réseau mais heureusement il y a le WiFi et le fixe pour l'essentiel. Idéale pour une déconnexion des réseaux, et une reconnexion à la nature... On a eu la chance de visiter la ferme de la propriétaire, assister à la traite des vaches (et s'y essayer) ainsi que d'aider à donner le lait aux veaux. Produits de la ferme disponibles et supers bons (lait, oeufs ,savons au lait de chèvre)... On y retournera avec plaisir ^_^

Gîte pratique pour week-end entre amis

Gîte grand et pièces de vie spacieuses. Tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner en groupe. Matériels disponibles pour bébé : chaise haute et lit bébé Isabelle est très accueillante et disponible pour ses hôtes. Seuls bémols à la réservation : le salon de jardin était très sale donc à laver à notre arrivée et le gîte est en plein milieu d'autres habitations donc beaucoup de passages.
