Large charming gîte Un Air d'Italie
We are offering this large character house in the Bugey countryside, 1 hour and 15 minutes east of Lyon, 50 minutes from Annecy, and 40 minutes from Chambéry: a paradise for hikers and cyclists!
This old house will delight young and old alike. Renovated, it offers all the comforts you would expect. Bright, very cool in summer, quiet with a large walled garden and an above-ground swimming pool, it offers breathtaking views of the Belledonne mountain range and Innimont.
You will be surprised by its spaciousness, its loggia, its Palladian-style columns, its 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and its many amenities for the whole family: trampoline, ping-pong, barbecue, large tables, deckchairs, sun loungers, baby equipment, and more.
From the sun-protected gazebo, you can sip a fresh mint drink while putting the world to rights with your loved ones and keeping an eye on the pool.
You will hear: the delicate ringing of the village bell, the gentle gurgling of our fountain at the foot of the stairs, and birds singing in a bucolic setting: PEACE AND RELAXATION GUARANTEED!
In the evening, after sunset, from the loggia, sitting in your deckchair, you can enjoy the coolness of the evening, hear the owl hooting, the frogs croaking at the foot of the dovecote, and watch the starry sky appear.

Très beau séjour dans cette région peu connue de notre groupe. Le logement correspond a l’annonce et était très confortable. Bel extérieur, bien entretenu avec tous les équipements pour les enfants. Nous avons reçu toutes les informations nécessaires de la part des propriétaires qui étaient très disponibles par téléphone. Très beau séjour, nous recommandons cette maison!!

Très belle maison qui demande des améliorations
Le séjour s’est globalement bien passé. Nous étions un groupe d’une quinzaine d’amis en vacances durant la deuxième d’août. Ayant l’habitude de louer des maisons de groupe à cette période depuis une dizaine d’années, c’est celle-là qui nous a le plus plu. Les chambres sont très bien isolées, les pièces communes sont agréables et tout est joliment décoré, en plus de cela la vue est superbe. Il manque néanmoins qqs éléments dans la cuisine comme un deuxième four pour pouvoir préparer des repas pour un grand groupe. Les propriétaires en ont conscience et réfléchissent à ces améliorations.
Le gros bémol a été pour nous les repas pris en extérieur le soir sur la terrasse. Le voisinage s’est plaint, avec peu de diplomatie, du bruit généré par quinze personnes qui dînent dans un espace qui résonne. Nous avons dû déménager d’abord dans le jardin au niveau de la piscine puis à l’intérieur.
Nous recommandons donc cette location en prenant bien en considération ce dernier point qui a tout de même un peu gâcher l’ambiance de nos dîners.

Très bon séjour !
Magnifique demeure bien fraîche ce qui est appréciable par temps de canicule . Nous étions 3 couples avec jeunes enfants, c'était parfait. Chaque famille avait sa propre sdb/wc. Terrasse et jardin très agréables.
Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour.

Prachtige stek op een mooie plek
We hebben als twee families een aantal fantastische weken achter de rug in het kolossale huis (met heel veel tuin en privacy). De bedden lagen goed, het huis was bij aankomst schoon. Ook het aantal douches was fijn. De hoeveelheid ruimte en de verschillende kamers (zitkamer en eetkamer en aparte keuken) zorgden ervoor dat je ook met 15 personen tot rust kon komen. Het zwembad was heerlijk voor onze kinderen. Kortom; we hebben eigenlijk geen minpunten. De contacten met de verhuurders verliepen erg prettig en professioneel. Hun betrokkenheid en drive om ons een goed verblijf te bieden, hebben ons aangenaam verrast. Een aanrader voor wie rust en ruimte op het Franse platteland zoekt!

Excellent séjour dans une maison pleine d'histoire, avec un charme fou et beaucoup d'espace.
Nous avons passé 4 jours merveilleux dans cette maison magnifique, qui nous a permis de nous ressourcer dans un cadre magique, tout en nous faisant voyager dans le temps.
La demeure a du caractère et est très spacieuse.
Le jardin est immense et la vue imprenable.
L'accueil parfait !
Nous recommandons vivement.
