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)!

About the host

Hosted by Les Gites de Sarah et Claude

Host profile image
I am English and Claude French. We have four children, a dog, cats and two ponies. We arrived in Saint Martin de Bavel in 2004 and have been renovating the forge du Perou ever since! The gite was let all year round and when the tenant left in january 2016, we decided to have a go at holiday letting.
We absolutely love this area, we have travelled widely and we are always pleased to get home. We want to share this undiscovered beautiful part of France that the French and Swiss neighbours have been keeping for themselves.

Why they chose this property

The forge is an old stone house dating back from 1802 in the heart of the village. Saint Martin de Bavel is a typical old fashioned agricultural village perfectly located to discover the area.
