Les Grenouilles

Raphaëlle welcomes you to a delightful, authentic 15th-century cowshed, steeped in history and meticulously restored, set in the peace and quiet of a vast 10-hectare family estate (once a "stronghold" with a château, a historic estate of which an elegant and exotic watchtower remains) comprising several buildings, all perfectly renovated, nestling in a star formation around a large inner courtyard. Complete peace and quiet in the countryside, in the heart of a mini rural hamlet nestling in the bucolic Charolais bocage, on a vast "open" plateau of pastures and meadows (with the famous "local" cows as peaceful neighbours), a stone's throw from a beautiful unspoilt forest. Very comfortable gîte. Very spacious. Vast, very rare 80m² living room enhanced by unusual original vaulted brick ceilings ("voûtins"). Warm country feel in the spirit of a cosy "family home". Lots of charm and character. Fully equipped (especially for children). Pleasant garden with magnificent unobstructed views over the surrounding countryside, with no overlooking, featuring an atypical & very beautiful natural swimming pool (8x4m). There is also a petanque area and an orchard where you can enjoy fresh, organic fruit (apple, pear, fig, etc.) during your stay. Composition : Detached house adjoining a second gîte (total independence). Wifi connection. Oil-fired central heating + fireplace (pleasure fire only). Ground floor: living room/kitchen/lounge, utility room, separate toilet. 1st floor: 4 bedrooms (2 single beds 90x190cm in each), 2 of which with private bathroom/WC (one with bath/one with shower), bathroom (bath), separate WC. Shared grounds with the gîtes (3000m²) including courtyard, natural swimming pool (8x4m), petanque area, spacious carport (no space allocated) & enclosed kennels for dogs. Dogs not allowed "pool side". Private car park. Bike shed. All amenities.
