A cottage combining tradition and modernity to enjoy nature in all seasons - Summer and Winter. At the end of the village (commune of Picherande - Puy-de-Dôme), this renovated and spacious farmhouse - approximately 130 m2 - offers you tranquility and nature that will accompany you throughout your stay. Accommodating from 6 to 8 guests, your accommodation has 3 bedrooms, a beautiful living room with kitchen very well equipped, as well as 2 bathrooms and separate wc. In the evening, after a busy day, relax in the lounge in front of an excellent NetFlix TV series or Prime Video, or, even better, take the local aperitif on the terrace facing nature.
