Gîte du Pallat - Vendenesse-les-charolles

Michelle & Jean-François welcome you to a charming, authentic, traditional 19th century farmhouse, fully renovated and redesigned as a holiday home, nestled in the peace and quiet of the unspoiled Charolais countryside on a gently rolling plateau facing south, in the heart of a "dispersed" rural hamlet, 3 km from the center of the charming, typical Celtic village of Vendenesse-lès-Charolles, rich in exceptional heritage (very rare "lime kilns" unique in France, listed as Historic Monuments, beautiful listed Romanesque church from the 11th century, 16th century castle, etc.). Absolute tranquility, not overlooked, nestled in the hollow of the bucolic local wooded bocage dotted with ponds and rivers (with the famous Charolais cows, grazing peacefully, as close, privileged neighbors in season), not far from beautiful wild forests. Soothing, beautifully landscaped setting. Ultra-restful and relaxing setting and site, literally enchanting. Spacious, comfortable cottage. A change of scenery with a rustic, vintage charm. Large enclosed grounds (home to the owners' sheep, penned on-site in the spirit of a "micro farm") feature a vast gravel courtyard (a perfect "natural" pétanque court), an exposed terrace ("on the courtyard"), a pleasant flower garden with an orchard (featuring a relaxation area and a sandpit for children), and a lush organic vegetable garden (vegetable and flower picking possible). Splendid, unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside and its rolling pastures stretching as far as the eye can see. Magnificent landscapes.
