Great place! The host had a busy time since his wife broke her hip July 2019 and was only returning in September 2019 but he managed to serve all people very well. He cooks well, is a great person to talk with in French. They have an old chariot for people to stay in. You can rent a donkey for your hikes through the area. Would definitely recommend to other people. Great with young kids. There is a small playing ground in the back.

Francais: Gîte avec des chambres modernes, propres et bien entretenues dans un bâtiment historique. Il y a une salle de bain confortable avec grande douche et une cuisine entièrement équipée avec poêle à induction moderne pour les auto-supporteurs. La cuisine française est servie en famille dans le grand salon de la maison. Chats et chiens sont là aussi. Les propriétaires sont préparés pour les hôtes qui viennent en cavaliers ou randonneurs avec des ânes. Des chevaux et des ânes sont également loués. J' y suis déjà allé plusieurs fois, c'est toujours agréable. La propriété est située dans une longue vallée escarpée, qui ne peut être entrée ou sortie que par trois chemins. Très calme, propice à la détente. English: Gîte with modernised, clean and well-kept rooms in a historic building. There is a comfortable bathroom with large shower and a fully equipped kitchen with a modern induction stove for people who want to cook by themselves. Delicious French cuisine is served with the family in the large living room in the house. Cats and dogs are there, too. The owners are prepared for guests who come as riders or hikers with donkeys. Horses and donkeys are also rented. I've been there several times before, it's always nice. The property is situated in a steep long valley, which can only be entered or exited on three paths. Very quiet, good for relaxing. Deutsch: Gîte mit modernisierten sauberen und gut gepflegten Zimmern in historischem Gebäude. Es gibt ein angenehmes Badezimmer mit großer Dusche und für Selbstversorger eine voll ausgestattete Küche mit modernem Induktionsherd. Leckeres französisches raffiniertes Essen gibt es mit der Familie im großen Wohnzimmer im Wohnhaus. Katzen und Hunde sind auch da. Die Besitzer sind vorbereitet auf Gäste, die als Reiter kommen oder Wanderer mit Esel. Es werden auch Pferde und Esel vermietet. Ich war schon mehrmals dort, ist jedesmal schön. Das Anwesen liegt in einem steilen langen Tal, das man nur auf drei Wegen betreten oder verlassen kann. Sehr ruhig, gut zum Entspannen.

We had an exceptional weekend! The location is idyllic, and the donkey rental was a wonderful experience for my daughter. A very special thank you to the owner, who was absolutely fantastic! Her warm welcome immediately put us at ease, and she took excellent care of us. The meal was delicious, and the guest room was very comfortable. A place where you feel right at home, with impeccable service. Thank you 🙏, see you next year!

A wonderful place where we were welcomed by fantastic people. Karine, Bernard, and Jean-Claude are lovely and have so many stories to tell. The meals prepared by our hosts using local ingredients were delicious and very comforting. Loulou, our hiking companion, was very cute and kept us motivated on our walks.

Très joli gîte, belle terrasse avec vue. Les chambres sont très correctes. Le gite propose également une roulotte. Les patrons sont très sympas et accueillants. Les repas proposés sont familiaux, goûteux et copieux. Le gîte est hors village mais sans être éloigné de la civilisation (10 min de Saillant).
