Located in a village with all amenities, in the heart of the Parc Naturel des Volcans d'Auvergne, halfway between the Massif du Sancy and the Chaîne des Puys, 1/2 hour west of Clermont-Ferrand. Peace and quiet, nature, hiking, biodiversity, wide open spaces. Renovated village house, sleeps 4-6, 3 levels: \- Entrance: covered terrace (8.5 m square), fenced. Outdoor furniture (table, chairs, barbecue). \- Ground floor: Living room, fully-equipped kitchen (oven, dishwasher, induction hob, microwave, extractor fan, Senseo coffee maker, kettle, etc.), utility room, + fireplace area (small sitting area/pellet stove, with pellets provided). \- 1st floor: TV/fibre lounge/office area, armchairs and sofa. The sofa can be converted into a 160cm bed => room fitted with blackout curtains to make an extra bedroom. Bathroom: Italian shower, washbasin, washing machine (iron, clotheshorse, hairdryer). \- Attic: 2 bedrooms, master (160cm bed) and children's (2 80cm beds, which can be made into a 160cm bed) and reading area. A cot can be provided on request. The accommodation does not have a garden, but does have a small covered terrace. It is therefore possible to eat outside. It is also very close to a riverside (50m away), which is a pleasant place for a walk (+ picnic area). Sheets and towels can be provided on request (payment on site of €10/person, whatever the length of your stay). We completely renovated this accommodation in 2022, so it is in very good condition. This accommodation is located in a very pleasant village (with a grocery shop and bread shop, a bar and tobacconist, an inn, a weekly farmers' market, a shared garden, a free "Sanpèze" shop, etc.)! Situated in the heart of the Parc Naturel des Volcans d'Auvergne, halfway between the Massif du Sancy and the Chaîne des Puys, half an hour west of Clermont-Fd, our gite is ideally placed. You can relax in the peace and quiet of our rural village and enjoy the fresh air, but you can also enjoy a wide range of activities: hiking, skating 15 minutes away, downhill skiing 30 minutes away, Vulcania 15 minutes away, hot springs, restaurants, climbing, via-ferrata, velo-rail, starlit nights in light pollution, etc. You can find all the local activities on this website: https://www.auvergnevolcansancy.com/. A great way to spend a green holiday, away from the crowds! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 840 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108170000/108164900/108164854/w1030h1210x25y0-6fdb5fbb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Logement Insolite au Cœur de L'auvergne Rochefort-Montagne - Pet friendly CA $111 CA $176 total includes taxes & fees Dec 27 - Dec 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-27&endDate=2025-12-28&selected=108164854&PinnedHotelID=108164854&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90320000/90318800/90318739/1ba2aebf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Les Chalets du Lac Saint-Jacques-d'Ambur - Pet friendly 9.2 Wonderful 117 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&selected=90318739&PinnedHotelID=90318739&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35360000/35354700/35354678/b704072b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful, completely renovated (group) accommodation INCL NEW (FEEST) HALL Biollet - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 44 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&selected=35354678&PinnedHotelID=35354678&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property - evening/night](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19300000/19292900/19292843/0c31727f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hôtel de la Poste Pontgibaud - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.0 Very good 78 reviews CA $121 CA $139 total includes taxes & fees Jan 23 - Jan 24, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=19292843&PinnedHotelID=19292843&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21230000/21224100/21224002/b24c8461.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Domaine de la Palle Pontgibaud - Pet friendly - Parking included - Breakfast available - 24/7 front desk 5.8 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&selected=21224002&PinnedHotelID=21224002&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Family Quadruple Room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/8000000/7830000/7821900/7821880/99f5416f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Le Chatel Royat - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.2 Very good 352 reviews CA $98 CA $112 total includes taxes & fees Jan 5 - Jan 6, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=7821880&PinnedHotelID=7821880&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs and cats only 1 total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges;
