Peaceful and quiet

We stayed at the house for a couple of days with our family. It is a nice place in a remote location and a perfect place to get away from daily busy life. The beautiful city of Le Puy is just half an hour away. We also enjoyed a great rafting trip on the Allier river. Thank you Helene for having us!

Wonderful location

We stayed here for a week in October. The general location is perfect for touring this part of the world. The gite itself is in a converted farm building - lots of space and adequately equipped. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. The only drawback, which is not clear in the description, is that the second bedroom is an internal room - its only window opens onto the large main room not to the outside - resulting in a rather dark space.

Endroit rêvé pour "se mettre au vert"

De l'espace, du confort, une décoration atypique et chaleureuse. Livres, jeux et DVD pour tous âges.... (nous avons apprécié le livre sur l'histoire de Monlet, qui nous a permis de découvrir autrement la commune. Un grand jardin à l'anglaise partagé mais dans lequel nous nous sommes sentis "chez nous". Des hôtes adorables et prévenants. Un accès immédiat à la nature.... Nous avons passé une semaine riche et reposante.

Bucolique et tranquille

Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine. La location est grande à l'intérieur, et le joli jardin offre différentes ambiances afin de profiter du beau temps et du calme de la campagne. Aux alentours, des paysages magnifiques viennent compléter ce séjour vraiment "dépaysant". Merci Hélène et Vincent.

bon séjour à Monlet au martinet

Gîte agréable et spacieux, bien aménagé.Jardin bien aménagé; propriétaires discrets. la télévision (qui ne sert qu'aux DVD) avec des chaînes serait un plus pour cette location. idéalement situé entre Auvergne et Nord Ardèche; des forets de sapins et des prés forment un paysage reposant et bien vert.
