Super séjour dans un cadre agréable

La maison est idéale pour les activités adultes et enfants (piscine avec profondeur variable, billard, baby-foot, sauna). Le four est un peu petit pour une cuisiner en grande quantité. Nous sommes venus en famille et avons passé de bons moments, notamment sur la terrassee. Le portail de la piscine ne pouvait pas se fermer à clé mais les enfants ont été disciplinés. Nous recommandons cette maison.

Très belle maison bien située

La maison est très belle avec un coup de cœur pour la grande terrasse !!! Idéalement situé avec un terrain de pétanque à 2min en voiture. Petit bémol pour le sauna qui ne marchait pas ce week end là, seulement 3 raquettes de ping pong (dommage une 4eme serait la bienvenue) et le manche du baby-foot cassé donc pas de possibilité de jouer... Quelques rafraîchissements à ce niveau et ce serait parfait ! Un grand merci à nos hôtes, nous avons passé un super séjour !

Fun at lac du bourget

This area is stunning, very laid back with friendly people. The lake is so peaceful and just feeds the soul to be there. It’s our second year at one of Sarah and Claude’s properties so I think that speaks for itself x

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in schöner Lage

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Haus von Sarah und Claude. Der Pool war gefüllt und wurde gereinigt, war im April aber eiskalt, was die Kinder nicht davon abgehalten hat, trotzdem reinzuspringen. Im Sommer ist er sicher ein Traum. Sarah hat uns bei der Ankunft empfangen und war sehr nett. Für 7 Personen + Hund war genügend Platz, Haus, Garten und Terrasse sind groß. Es gibt sogar eine kleine Sauna, Tischtennis, Billard, Dart und Tischfußball. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön! Insbesondere für Radfahrer, aber auch zum Wandern. Lyon ist einen Besuch wert, man erreicht es in etwas über einer Stunde. Vielen Dank an Sarah und Claude, dass wir in ihrem schönen Haus wohnen durften.

We were impressed and felt so comfortable

We arrived very late, which was no problem for the landlords. From the first moment we felt very comfortable in the beautiful house. There was wine for us and juice for the children as a gift on the table and fresh flowers in the vases. The next morning, when we looked out the terrace with its incredible panoramic view, we were completely blown away. Everything was designed and made with love. We enjoyed playing table football and spending hours at the pool. The equipment is very good and everything is clean. The whole house invites you to stay. Everything can be reached within a few minutes by car. The owners are very nice and answered all our questions very quickly.

Tolle Woche in einem tollen Haus

Wir hatten mit Freunden und 2 Hunden eine prima Woche in diesem tollen Haus mit einer wunderschönen Terasse und einem schönen Pool, die wir ausgiebig genossen haben. Sarah ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin und hat uns viele Tips für die Umgebung gegeben. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön und mit den Hunden optimal. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus spazieren gehen. Falls es uns nochmal in die Gegend zieht, würden wir das Haus auf jeden Fall wieder buchen. Liebe Grüße Michaela

Wij waren er in mei 2 weken me onze jongens en 2 hondjes. Ontzettend mooie vakantie gehad. Alles klopte. Toevallig ook erg mooi weer gehad. Sarah (eigenares ) heeft ons ontvangen . Super aardig.

Iedere dag weer genoten van het grote Balko/terras . s'morgens met een kop koffie en s'avonds met een glaasje wijn. wij komen weer terug... misschien al volgend jaar :)

Très bon séjour

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille pendant les vacances de la Toussaint. Bien chauffée, très propre, équipée d’un sauna et d’une salle de jeu, la maison est confortable et agréable à vivre. Une terrasse couverte équipée d’une grande table et d’une balancelle permet de profiter d’une jolie vue sur la vallée. La maison est bien située : le village le plus proche (Artémare, à 5 minutes en voiture) dispose de plusieurs commerces de bouche et d’un petit supermarché. Nous avons été gentiment accueillis et pu profiter des conseils avisés de la propriétaire sur les sites à visiter. En deux mots : très bien.

About the host

Hosted by Les Gites de Sarah et Claude

I am (Sarah) English and Claude French. We have four children, a dog, cats and two ponies. We arrived in the Bugey in 2004 and have been renovating the forge du Perou ever since!
After a very successful season with "the gite de la Forge"(https://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/gd/dash/661.6518378.3833690) we had the oportunitiy to buy the Old school house (we fell in love with the house and it's position https://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/accommodation/p6938841).

We feel this area is very special, we have travelled widely and we are always pleased to get back to the Bugey. We want to share this undiscovered beautiful part of France that the French and Swiss neighbours have been keeping for themselves. In 2018 we bought the Gite du Grand Colombier, a more contemporary house. Open plan with a ground floor ensuite bedroom and a stunning terrasse with unique view, we felt that we would enjoy a holiday in this house !!!

Why they chose this property

The house has a French tropical atmosphere in a contempory style; Ideal for get togethers for family, friends and fun.
South facing landscaped garden.
