Young and old alike will appreciate the variety of entertainment available in the park or indoors (play activities, relaxation…). This friendly family home combines modern comforts with the charm of yesteryear to help you discover the secrets of the Auvergne.
The owners, architects and builders with a passion for restoring old buildings, wanted to give new life to this former holiday manor. In this way, they are participating in their own way in the preservation of the region’s historical heritage and sharing this history by opening their doors. They give you their keys for a stay and hope that you will feel at home.
A weekend reunion with your children and grandchildren to celebrate your wedding anniversary? A family holiday over several generations to bring cousins together. A week in a group to cycle together on beautiful semi-mountain roads? Everyone has their own reason for looking for a great holiday rental… but it’s not always easy to combine comfort and fun. This is the challenge that the owners have taken up: your comfort as a group has been meticulously studied! The 4-star certification by an external organisation guarantees the high quality of the premises.
Inside the home you will find an entertainment room, a spacious kitchen, a dining room, 9 bedrooms, 7 shower rooms, 8 toilets, 5 of which are independent, and a games room. Each room is very luminous thanks to the wide open lace-like facade, which is rare for a building of this period.
Share memorable moments around this 6-metre long table that can seat up to 18 guests. Imagine dinners punctuated by the laughter and smiles of your loved ones. Admire the decor around this long table! The room has kept its elegant original woodwork as well as its red marble fireplace, its stained glass windows and its herringbone oak floor. A piano will enchant the musicians in your party.
This spacious room offers a fully equipped kitchen with a large island that allows you to cook for several people. In the centre of the room is the imposing crenellated fireplace with its carved tiles, which gives breakfast a special character. You can prepare delicious meals with local products bought at the market or design a birthday cake with regional red fruits. Thanks to the direct access to the sunny terrace, pick fresh aromatic plants to enhance your dishes.
With new, quality bedding, you will enjoy a restful night’s sleep to keep you fit and discover the wonders of the region. Warm oiled wooden floors, central heating and double-glazed windows enhance each room for maximum comfort. In addition, the restoration of the roller shutters designed at the time of construction will delight all those who like to sleep in the dark.
Enjoy the heated swimming pool in summer and the outdoor whirlpool option to recharge your batteries. Relax in the deckchairs with a book in your hand. Enjoy the view of the park with its hundred-year-old trees, lulled by the sound of birdsong. Children can have fun in complete safety, they are spoilt for choice!
