A great place in a beautiful area
This house is the perfect place to base yourself to explore the surrounding area. Although the village it is in is very quiet and has no restaurants there are amazing places to eat a short car journey away. The surrounding countryside is incredibly beautiful and the house has a pool with a breathtaking view. There is lots to do in the area and we did some great wine tasting. The hosts are very communicative and helpful with local recommendations.

Fantastic area
As advertised, with lovely touches to welcome us from wine to sweets! Beds were comfy, showers powerful and hot, pool was very welcome on a hot week. Sarah and Claude, the hosts next door were unobtrusive but welcoming and helpful and Poppy dog was a delight (sorry Freddie barked at her so much)!

PERFECTION!
Clean, cosy, quiet and views to die for!! Total relaxation, just what we needed. Hosts on hand, friendly and polite, but not intrusive. Great ideas given for trips. Myself, husband and 13 year old daughter were however very happy just lazing around the pool!!

Beautiful gite in lovely quiet village
This gite is really well equipped and has a pool with the most stunning view! Sarah and Claude are brilliant hosts who are on hand for any help and advice you may need. There is lots to do in the area- we visited Lyon, Annecy, Chambery and Geneva and all were easily accessible. There is excellent wine tasting locally , boat hire on Lac du Bourget and fresh water swimming in a local lake. We highly recommend this gite .

Peaceful and relaxing
Finished our week long stay in St Martin de Bavel and must commend the owners on making our experience so pleasurable. Very accommodating and knowledgable regarding the local area, we took their advice and visited a couple of local must sees. For us, having young children, the pool was great and provided hours of entertainment. A very relaxing stay- thank you both.
