A little gem in the foothills of The Alps

Quaint village house perfectly placed for visiting stunning local scenery and sights. Gite was very comfortable and the owners, Sarah and Claude, were very friendly and helpful. All this helped to make it a wonderful holiday. The weather was pretty good too!

Fantastic area

As advertised, with lovely touches to welcome us from wine to sweets! Beds were comfy, showers powerful and hot, pool was very welcome on a hot week. Sarah and Claude, the hosts next door were unobtrusive but welcoming and helpful and Poppy dog was a delight (sorry Freddie barked at her so much)!

A great place in a beautiful area

This house is the perfect place to base yourself to explore the surrounding area. Although the village it is in is very quiet and has no restaurants there are amazing places to eat a short car journey away. The surrounding countryside is incredibly beautiful and the house has a pool with a breathtaking view. There is lots to do in the area and we did some great wine tasting. The hosts are very communicative and helpful with local recommendations.

Beautiful gite in a wonderful location

The gite has everything needed for the perfect holiday. The two en suite bedrooms are spacious and beautifully fitted out. The downstairs living accommodation is tastefully furnished and the kitchen area is very well equipped. The two outside terraces and swimming pool are delightful, and the hospitality shown by Sarah and Claude is wondeful! The whole area is beautiful with many places to explore. A brilliant holiday!!!

Excellent

This gite was the best we have ever stayed in during the last many years of travelling. The hosts Claude and Sarah graciously welcomed us, assisted us in exploring the local areas with excellent suggestions of sites to see. The gite itself was excellent, spacious, clean and expertly maintained. The family dog was fun and made us feel very much at home. The gite is located in the small community of St Martin de Bavel which is about one hour away from Lyon and Geneva. The spectacular local and regional sights were especially great. We highly recommend this location and especially this gite and will return next year for another visit. The location is rural so peaceful quiet nights were particularly fantastic. Those looking for an active night life will need to drive some distance to find those activities.

Ein wunderschönes Haus

Ein sehr gemütliches Haus mit viel Charme und allem Komfort. Ideal für einen erholsamen, entspannten Urlaub von zwei 2 Paaren oder auch zwei Einzelpersonen, weil es zwei getrennte Schlafbereiche gibt. Die Sauna zu nutzen und hinterher am Pool mit Panoramblick zu liegen, haben wir sehr genossen. Sehr herzliche Gastgeber. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.

Ruhe und Gemütlichkeit

Wir hatten einen zauberhaften Aufenthalt bei Sarah und Claude! Das Haus befindet sich in einem zauberhaften Dorf. Ein altes Steinhaus auf einem liebevoll gestalteten Grundstück. Innen toll eingerichtet mit sehr bequemen Betten, modernen Bädern, Sauna. Unten tolle Küche und ein Pelletofen für noch mehr Gemütlichkeit. Sarah hat uns wahnsinnig freundlich begrüßt und alles gezeigt. Es gab einen lokalen Brut und Schokolade zur Begrüßung. Frische Blumen in den Zimmern. Gute Vorschläge für Unternehmungen. Die Kommunikation war sehr angenehm. Wir kommen definitv wieder für einen längeren Aufenthalt!

Korte opsteker op weg naar vakantieadres

Een fijne woning met een heerlijke boerse uitstraling; de koeien uit het dorp wandelen 2x per dag letterlijk aan het huis voorbij. Het enige minpuntje voor mij (de man), waren sommige deuren/kozijnen welke voor mijn lengte (1.95 mtr) aan de te lage kant waren. Hier kan niemand wat aan doen natuurlijk. Het mocht de pret niet drukken. Verder was alles aanwezig en was de woning schoon en opgeruimd. De bedden waren heerlijk om te slapen. Gastvrije ontvangst en begeleiding door Sara en Claude. Dank voor een heerlijk verblijf!

Gastvrij en comfortabel

Zeer gastvrij en servicegericht echtpaar wat de woning beheert. De woning is schoon en prima voorzien van meubels en apparatuur. Het zwembad is voldoende groot, verwarmd en zonnig en beschut gelegen met een FORMIDABEL uitzicht. Voor bijzondere wensen hebben Sarah en Claud steeds een oplossing. Voor ons een super lokatie.
