Holiday home - 3 persons - Le Villard - 43580

On the route to Santiago de Compostela and in the heart of a regional nature park, a former dovecote has been completely restored and extended to offer a spectacular terrace overlooking the Allier valley.

The 100m² gîte sleeps 6/7 comfortably. It has been tastefully restored and now boasts a contemporary decor with a vintage country feel. The volumes are atypical and the materials natural. Lava stone and wood have been given pride of place. They bring a warmth and cosiness to this space that's perfect for daydreaming and relaxing. Ground floor: 30 m² living/dining room/kitchen area, 15 m² panoramic terrace, bedroom with 160 cm bed overlooking the valley and en suite shower room, separate WC, small lounge, mezzanine accessible from the living room with 1 single bed for a child.first floor: twin bedroom with 2 single beds and en suite shower room with WC.second floor: adjoining double bedroom.panoramic views over the valley. All local shops within walking distance. On-site parking. Pets welcome under certain conditions.

This atypical lava stone building stands in the village of Saint Privat d'Allier, at the foot of a rocky spur flanked by a castle. The village is on the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela, and is the first stop on the route, after the emblematic start at Le Puy en Velay, some twenty kilometres away. There are plenty of cultural attractions within easy reach, including the picturesque town of Le Puy, listed as one of the most beautiful in Europe, the fortress of Polignac, the châteaux of Bouzols and Rochelambert, the lace conservatory and the lentil farm. But it's also, and above all, for all its nature-related activities that this gîte is a little gem: the Monistrol d'Allier water sports centre, 4 km away, offers top-quality white-water sports where the more adventurous can try their hand at rafting, canoeing and canyoning. Ten kilometres away, the Via Ferrata offers an acrobatic course combining hiking and climbing above the Allier gorges. For hikers, there are plenty of starting points for walks of all lengths and difficulties. This bucolic spirit is omnipresent in the pigeonnier's surroundings, extending right through to the living room, which opens onto a 180-degree panorama of the valley. A large 5,000 m2 meadow planted with fruit trees stretches out in front of the terrace, providing an ideal playground for children in search of space.
