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. For cooler evenings or in winter, warm up with a fire in the large fireplace stove in the living room. Even on vacation, you keep in touch with the free wifi and landline phone.
