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! ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89630000/89626000/89625977/400dd611.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### MAISON DE CAMPAGNE RUSTIQUE Chambon-sur-Lac - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 8.0 Very good 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=89625977&PinnedHotelID=89625977&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76670000/76668000/76667937/9b415b11.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country house in the heart of Auvergne Saint-Julien-Puy-Lavèze - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=76667937&PinnedHotelID=76667937&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32570000/32565400/32565331/9fe0f5e4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### AYDAT Chalet mountain volcano park Aydat - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 83 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=32565331&PinnedHotelID=32565331&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68920000/68917000/68916940/67b40092.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### By the stream Ceyssat - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=68916940&PinnedHotelID=68916940&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117040000/117037000/117036944/28c88c16.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Warm, renovated house with whirlpool bath Romagnat - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=117036944&PinnedHotelID=117036944&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31180000/31170400/31170318/71aa3873.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country Cottage / Gite - PONTGIBAUD Saint-Pierre-Le-Chastel - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 101 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=31170318&PinnedHotelID=31170318&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69700000/69693700/69693675/c5dd8106.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Le nid du Bouvreuil Entre Sioule et Volcans D'auvergne Bromont Lamothe - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=69693675&PinnedHotelID=69693675&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34680000/34671300/34671264/6c537526.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House restored in calm village with the doors of the volcanos of auvergne Saint-Genès-Champanelle - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 59 reviews £107 includes taxes & fees 1 Oct - 2 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=34671264&PinnedHotelID=34671264&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109030000/109028600/109028543/b908b7f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House in the countryside 4 minutes from La Bourboule.
