Seeking a large property in a picturesque area which would suit a special family holiday, this house looked ideal. Prior to our stay, communication with the owners was professional and thorough.
Celebrating our recent retirements with our son and daughter and their children, my husband and I selected this particular property on account of its space, location and gated pool.
A stunningly beautiful building, the house contained traditional French furniture - some antiques - together with some shabby chic and modern touches but it had a very friendly, homely atmosphere.
Well maintained during the rental periods by the charming caretaker Yves, we were reassured that he was available should we have any concerns - we did not.
The house suited our needs perfectly as it had plenty of space where people could 'do their own thing' and the gardens were ideal for our little grandchildren with opportunities for them to play hide and seek, play ball games and pick fruits from the orchard.
We spent most of the time in the local vicinity - walking, bathing at the lakes and mountain activities. It is a stunningly beautiful region - probably now my favourite in France.
One of the wine producers in the village sells stone baked bread on Saturdays and this was delicious. We barbecued most evenings as the weather was delightful, buying what we needed at nearby Belley.
The pool was a welcome treat in the heat and the house is lovely and cool indoors.
A fabulous stay!
