Gîte de groupe La Pointe du Lac

In the heart of the Beaujolais Mountains, where rolling green hills slope down toward silent ponds and fir forests, Ronno still holds the secret of villages that resist the noise of the world. It is in this fold of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, between distant vineyards and unspoiled bocage countryside, that the Gîte de groupe La Pointe du Lac makes its home — an address made for those who are truly looking to find themselves again.

The gîte unfolds its cottage character across several generous spaces, capable of welcoming up to 23 people without ever giving the sense of being crowded. The 5 bedrooms are arranged to offer each guest their own privacy, whether for a blended family weekend, a retreat among old friends, or a seminar that wants to keep the soul of a getaway. The shared living spaces — lounge, dining room, fully equipped kitchen — naturally become the stage for the moments that matter: meals that stretch on, late-night fits of laughter, conversations that pick up right where they had left off years before.

Outside, the name of the place says it all. La Pointe du Lac is no empty promise: the water is there, close at hand, and with it that particular light which the Beaujolais ponds distill as the hours pass. In the morning, mist lingers on the surface before the sun takes possession of the surrounding meadows. In the afternoon, you wander along the shore, you restore yourself, you recharge something that daily life had worn away without your even noticing.

The surrounding countryside is easy to explore from Ronno: villages with character, local markets, hiking trails that wind between chestnut trees and pastures. Wine lovers will find the connection to the nearby Beaujolais region, its estates, its cellars, and its appellations that deserve far more than a passing visit.

What will guests take with them when they leave? Not just photographs, but that rare feeling of having had time — time to be together, to listen to the lake breathe, to remember that the best stays are not necessarily the ones that happen far away.
