Chalet Mathieu - THIL SUR ARROUX

Emeline and Mathieu, who run the village inn (a family-run, semi-gastronomic establishment that earned it the "Village Gourmand" designation), welcome you to a small, contemporary chalet reminiscent of a rural cottage. Nestled at the end of a small, drivable dirt track, it sits in a peaceful haven of nature and greenery on the banks of the idyllic Étang des Baudurettes (a 6-hectare pond equipped for swimming and fishing, with a children's playground and multi-sports court). Enjoy peace and tranquility in this tiny hamlet, situated on a 2000m² property (complete with a pétanque court) overlooking a vast plateau of fields and wooded meadows, just a stone's throw from the charming village center and its elegant church. Nestled in the heart of the unspoiled countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich flora and fauna), this magnificent setting of gently rolling mountains combines hedgerows, rivers, ponds, and deep, wild forests (perfect for hiking or mountain biking). It lies in the verdant Arroux Valley (with its fish-filled river, ideal for leisurely canoe or kayak trips), on the edge of the Morvan Massif and its Regional Natural Park. This comfortable cottage boasts a warm, contemporary style with rustic mountain touches. Enjoy the panoramic balcony-terrace. A pleasant private garden (reserved space) features a unique mini-gypsy caravan (a perfect playhouse for children). There are beautiful, unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding countryside.

Stay on the shores of a bucolic lake, perfect for swimming and fishing, on the edge of the Morvan Regional Natural Park!

Enjoy absolute tranquility, nestled in a soothing haven of nature and greenery, just a stone's throw from the center of this picturesque little village. In the heart of the gentle, unspoiled Morvan countryside (largely protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), a magnificent hilly setting combining agriculture & nature between hedgerows, ponds & deep wild forests, nestled at the very southern tip of the Morvan massif in the heart of the green Arroux valley, not far from the Uchon massif & its renowned summit of the "Signal d'Uchon" ("the Pearl of the Morvan", a classified natural site).
