Gîte des Crêtes, M2 *** (near Salers), facing south, quiet, view of the valley

The fully equipped kitchen with 3-burner induction hob, pyrolysis oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer, Senseo brand coffee machine, kettle, toaster, sandwich maker, citrus press, etc ... will make you feel at home, allowing you to prepare good little Auvergne dishes.

The lounge area is made up of 2 sofas, a flat screen TV with TNT satellite reception, a Hi-fi AM / FM Tuner (+ classic audio connection allowing you to connect any mobile phone / MP3 player / laptop with headphone output), DVD player (DVD / CD / CD-MP3).

The bathroom with separate toilet is also on the ground floor. It consists of a large shower cubicle, sink, heated towel rail, hair dryer, washing machine and storage cupboard. (Iron and ironing board available)

Deposit of 500 € + Cleaning deposit of 50 € requested on your arrival

Other information:
Up to this day, we liked to look at the stars from the gite, in a very dark night, but recently, an amateur astronomer vacationer, gave us his comments, as well as some photos related to the announcement, on the particular situation of the lodging concerning the observation of the stars. We also thank him very much.

"Your gîte benefits from a very high quality night sky (no light pollution) with an unobstructed view to the south. I tell you because I am an amateur astronomer (and I really enjoyed myself!), and I know that it is a criterion of choice for many of my companions, and apart from the lamppost which remains on in the hamlet (without however hampering the observation), your lodging is 100% compatible with the criteria of astronomy , very dark sky, clear view on the south, high altitude. "

Wonderful isolated gite

Stayed here for a week in June/July. Even during the very hot weather the downstairs of the gite was very cool. The gite was well equipped and comfortable. It's isolation ensures you have a great view of the night sky but can be a long drive from the main roads due to the winding roads. My suggestions may be for a fan in the bedroom as on a warm evening it can get quite hot upstairs. Overall we had a great time during our one week stay here and would recommend it.

Le confort, l'environnement, la situation avec une vue magnifique.

Ces 2 semaines ont été consacrées à la découverte du cette partie du Cantal, à vélo, lors de grandes randonnées en montagne. Nous avons savouré les spécialités du terroir. Les échanges avec les "cantalous" étaient toujours très chaleureuses. La communication avec les propriétaires ont été excellentes. Je recommande ette location.

Maison très agréable avec tout ce dont nous avons besoin pour une famille. Nous avons adoré le pain du bois noir, les fromages de vache et de chèvre qui se trouve à la Bastide. Tout est délicieux. Beaucoup de balade à faire et surtout des paysages à couper le souffle! L’Auvergne c’est vraiment très beau.

Magique

Le gîte est un petit trésor perché sur les hauteurs avec une vue tout simplement magnifique! Le calme omniprésent est bercé par de doux son des cloches de vaches et des rapaces qui survolent le paysage. Le gîte est juste parfait, rien à redire! Sébastien est très disponible et bienveillant, dommage ne de pas l'avoir rencontré (communication par mail mais très réactif) Pour les amoureux de la nature et envie de se couper du monde, cet endroit est fait pour vous. A proximité une formagerie, des éleveurs, un boulanger artisanal (le meilleur pain du monde!) Nous reviendrons !
