We had a very nice stay in the appartment. The place is very nice, calm and it was a perfect getaway from our everyday life.The flat is very nicely decorated, feels welcoming from the very beginning and very cosy. Everything is clean, the kitchen is well equipped. We liked the atmosphere of the small village, it is nice to go for a walk. We highly recommend the place and appartment.

Charming Rustic

Set in a very quiet village the property is ideally located for a peaceful break and located well to explore the area. Our only complaint was finding the place - the satnav guidance sent us down some inaccessible streets. Guidance to others: If arriving from the east (Champeix) drive through the village (main street) and then approach from west (then following satnav if necessary).The place is rustic but clean and well prepared, although no kettle.

Schön und authentisch gestaltetes kleines Steinhaus auf 3 Etagen im oberen Teil des Ortes. Ruhig gelegen, aber ohne Auto nicht zu empfehlen. Große Terrasse mit teilweiser Überdachung, so dass man auch im warmen Sommerregen draußen sitzen kann. Die Treppen im Haus sind schmal und steil. Begrenzter Stauraum für Klamotten - im Sommerurlaub völlig ok, aber wie das im Winter gehen soll? Kein WLAN und ziemlich schlechter Empfang. Aber ein kleiner Spaziergang zur Kirche zu einer schattigen Bank liefert das Netz und eine phantastische Aussicht.

Belle découverte

La maisonnette a été pour nous un hébergement très agréable pour des vacances reposantes. Le gîte est rénové avec goût, et rien ne manque pour le quotidien. Sa localisation permet de rayonner facilement long de la chaîne des Puys et dans le massif du Sancy.

Wir sind begeistert. Erwartungen übertroffen

Wir haben Frankreich und die Auvergne nach vielen Jahren neu entdeckt und sind vollauf begeistert. Die Wohnung, der Ort und die Gegend sind absolut schön und romantisch. Auch zu den Vermietern hatten wir trotz sprachlicher Barrieren einen sehr guten, sehr herzlichen Kontakt. Im Ort gibt es einen kleinen Laden mit hervorragendem Käse, und es gibt einen freitags? einen Wochenmarkt mit Bioprodukten aus der Region. Auf einen Kaffee nach Champeix. Ach, war das schön.Bis bald - A bientôt !

La maisonnette est vraiment très belle, la rénovation faite avec goût. La cuisine est vraiment bien équipée, la salle d'eau et la chambre également. Notre seul petit bémol : pas de wifi proposé, la 4G étant très aléatoire et si on pousse un peu plus, un 2ème transat serait le bien venu :) Nath et Fred

Agréable séjour au calme

Nous avons passé quelques jours à Montaigut-le-Blanc avec notre fille de 3 ans. Le logement est charmant et confortable, bien situé pour visiter la région, à quelques kilomètres de Saint-Nectaire et Murol et à une demi-heure de Super-Besse. Tous les commerces sont disponibles à Champeix, à 3 km. Les propriétaires, qui habitent à côté, se sont montrés accueillants et disponibles. Nous recommandons !
