Perfect base for exploring the Chartreuse

My wife and I were slightly nervous about taking a gite where the owners lived downstairs, but we needn't have worried as Christiane and Roland were discreet and welcoming hosts - think an aperitif on their terrace on arrival and a pot of still warm home made jam thrust into your hand. The house is spacious and lovely. Roland built it himself (he is a joiner by trade) and he and Christiane lived upstairs to begin with. More recently they converted the garages and moved downstairs. That feeling of it being a really well built, solid family home persists, and it was a very relaxing environment to be in. We particularly enjoyed the generous balcony with plenty of space to eat outdoors (and use Roland's ingenious device for positioning the parasol in exactly the right place) and have the most wonderful view of the Chartreuse mountains. We enjoy self-catering, so having a decent boulangerie (there are three apparently), weekly Thursday market of fresh vegetables, cheese, meat etc, as well as a decent supermarket all in nearby St Laurent du Pont was fantastic. St L du P is a well equipped town. We love walking and found the Chartreuse hills even better than the Bauges area to the North, where we had spent a couple of holidays. Christiane was very helpful in suggesting walks. We both speak good French so chatting with them was a delight. They were always keen to hear our exploits for the day! So all in all we would highly recommend this house (and hosts) as the perfect base for exploring the Chartreuse.

Peaceful location with spectacular views!

This is a great gite, well equipped and perfectly maintained inside and out. Christiane and Roland are incredibly hospitable, eager to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as they possibly can. We enjoyed welcome drinks as well as home made jam! There are plenty of mountains to walk and cycle and beautiful lakes near by. There is a large balcony which runs around the gite offering plenty of outside dining/drinking areas whilst you enjoy the spectacular views, in fact the kitchen is better equipped than our own!! We would highly recommend this gite.

Amazing mountain views and a warm welcome!

This is a lovely gite with all the comforts of home and views to die for. Christiane and Roland made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived on a very hot day. We were welcomed with drinks, home baking, wine and genuine hospitality. The accommodation was to a very high standard with everything that we needed. There were dining and seating areas both inside and outside on the wrap around balcony providing areas to retreat from the sun when needed. We so enjoyed sitting out in the evenings and playing cards with the children over a glass of wine while the sun went down over the mountains. The area is well placed for travelling around the Chartreuse mountains and the amenities of the local town were a very short drive away. I would definitely recommend this gite. Thank you Christiane and Roland. We would definitely return to your lovely gite. Sorry our French was not a little better! Thanks Lesley, Simon, Ashley and Mia
