Idyllic
Can I give it 6 stars? The house is wonderful, the view is stunning, the pool is glorious and the hosts are awesome. We didn't want to leave. We were a family of 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. The sun room was wonderful in the mornings and the pigsty was great for lunch. The walk to Usson was a perfect distance and the view from the top was lovely.

Lovely period house in a quiet corner of France
A lovely house in a lively location. We had 7 adults and 4 small children, so we didn’t venture far, except to the swimming lake at Vernet-la-Varenne which is great for kids and adults alike. The pool is great, warm and with a deep middle suitable for both children and adults. Bedrooms are comfortable and the 2nd floor ideal for the kids. We didn’t use the lounge or conservatory but spent most of our time by the pool or in the roofed area outside the kitchen. The roofed area is ideal for shade but would also be shelter in cooler weather. The hosts living locally also helped when we had a problem with the cooker which they address immediately. There’s plenty of space and the facilities are good. I couldn’t fault the place, it was ideal for our requirements.

vacances en famille
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cette location. la vue est superbe; la maison correspond à la description et nous avons été reçus avec une grande gentillesse par Anita et son mari. C’était la canicule ! Heureusement la piscine était là et nous en avons bien profité ! La veille de notre départ nous avons enfin pu voir le lac et profiter des activités dont nous avaient parlé nos hôtes et nous en sommes revenus ravis ! En conclusion : excellente semaine un peu chaude ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Michèle

Des Vacances de rêve !
Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances dans cette magnifique maison auvergnate. La propriété est superbe, avec une vue à couper le souffle sur les environs. La piscine est top, les espaces pour déjeuner et dîner dehors très agréables (mention spéciale pour l’espace couvert qui permet de déjeuner dehors même si le temps est pluvieux), et la maison très bien décorée et agencée. A noter une literie parfaite et des salles de bain propres et modernes. Enfin, les propriétaires sont charmants, discrets mais toujours disponibles. Un immense merci à vous pour vos conseils et pour toutes vos attentions qui ont fait de notre semaine un moment de rêve et de repos absolu. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison !

Toplocatie
Prachtige ligging van de vakantiewoning en een zeer mooie streek. Je kan er elke dag iets anders doen. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaars die zeer behulpzaam zijn. Het enige minpuntje is de keuken, is niet echt ingericht & geschikt voor 12 personen. Het was een toffe week.
