About this property

Our spacious house in the village of Montaigut le Blanc in the Auvergne region of France offers visual treats and life-style pleasures. It is a base for unmatched hill- walking and wheeled exploration of a fabled region and there is comfortable space for 8 persons with an intimate and welcoming core perfect for 2. The house is best suited for a maximum of 3 couples, because of the bed configuration and in the interest of privacy. The base price listed is for 5 guests. Fees apply for additional guests (maximum 8).

From the windows, balconies and gardens there are beautiful views of the village and countryside. Modern touches include international satellite TV, high speed internet connection, Smart TV , BluRay player, and free local calls.

The 200-square-metre (2200 square-foot) house is built of stone, finished to modern standards. The owner’s renovation, completed in the early 2000s, transformed the structure with flair and respect for the building’s original character. The previous major renovation was in Napoleonic times, and you can find traces of an earlier construction from the 16th century. The building is on a list of architectural treasures of the commune – the regional office of the Architect of France contributed significantly to the redesign.

The garden are was restored in the spring of 2024, after Covid related absences allowed it to decline. It reflects photographs accurately at this time.

A very comfortable house in a pretty village

The house is very well equipped and situated in a picturesque village. The owners have restored it very tastefully. The accommodation is spacious. We were a party of four adults and two children staying with plenty of room to enjoy ourselves and relax when we wanted. My family who live nearby visited us and we had a great time. I would book this property again.

Comfortable and well equipped

A very comfortable house for two couples. Very well equipped kitchen, plenty of towels and linen. Arrival instructions need to be clearer and a proper BBQ would be nice. Francoise was very helpful. Good internet. Good location for sightseeing. Need good driving skills for parking near the house. We enjoyed it. Good value.

Noël 2023 exceptionnel

Nous avons passé de merveilleuses fêtes de fin d'année dans ce gîte superbe, spacieux et atypique. Il est confortable, très bien chauffé et parfaitement équipé. Pour compléter le tout, son emplacement géographique est idéal. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

Séjour août 2023

Maison tres agréable dans une tres belle région permettant de nombreuses visites. Accueil chaleureux de la part de Françoise. Pour la maison, diverses fuites provenant de la toiture ainsi que de la gouttière sont probablement à réparer avant que les dégâts ne s'accroissent. Il conviendrait également de signaler dans l'annonce qu'il n'est du tout facile de garer sa voiture dans la ville haute. Pour ce qui concerne le jardin les photos de l'annonce ne correspondent pas à son état réel qui est plutôt laissé à l'abandon. Ce qui est bien dommage car cela donne peu envie d'y aller.

très bon séjour. Maison vaste et agréable

Maison très agréable. Petite remarque pratique : Il pourrait être précisé dans l'annonce que l'une des chambres n'est accessible qu'en passant par une des salles de bain + toilettes. Ce qui limite l'accès à celle-ci.

About the host

Hosted by Christabel Padmore

We live in Victoria British Columbia, Canada, but travel to France regularly. We have two children, so have made the house suitable for families with young children. My husband and I are both professional chefs and own a small business.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for two generation. My husband and I were married in the village in 2008 and we visit regularly with our two children, as well as my brother's family. My father bought and restored this property meticulousy, maintianing it's regional and historic character. I inherited this property alongside my brother. Between myself and the rest of the family, the house is occupied for approximatly three months by family. This is also the time when we make improvements for tenants.
The garden are was restored in the spring of 2024 after Covid related absences allowed it to decline. It reflects photographs accurately at this time.
