Superb in Every Way
This Gite is spacious and well fitted out, in a beautiful, peaceful setting within easy train or car distance of Lyon, Geneva and regional towns that are well worth visiting - Chamonix and Annesee for example. Local village meets all shopping needs. Our hosts, Sarah and Claude were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. They and the Gite and location made it a 5 week trip to remember.

Peaceful Summer Retreat
Such a lovely place to stay, absolutely amazing views and so close to Col du Grand Colombier. A 10 min drive to Culoz where you can get a cheap 1hr train journey to Geneva, or slightly longer to Lyon. Would recommend to anyone and also would stay again without hesitation! Just fix the oven!! Dan.

Fantastic once again
This was our second time staying at Sarah & Claude’s gites, the property was fantastic, everything that we could have wished for. The swimming pool is just lovely, with views of the mountains and right next to the local vineyard, we spent so many hours in and around the pool, we loved it so much we booked for next year. The Gite has a pool table, table tennis, trampoline and climbing frame so helped keep the kids entertained when not in the pool. There are many local lakes which quite and peaceful, if you into cycling you have so many miles of great roads to explore and can climb the Grand Colombier from 4 different routes, on a clear day the view from the Grand Colombier is spectacular, watching sunset with a 360 degree view is amazing, with Mont Blanc in the distance. There are so many things to keep you entertained whilst you stay, from local walks, parcore to canyoning depending how energetic you feel. Sarah & Claude are tremendous hosts and make sure that you have a lovely break. A trip to the local vineyard to sample the wines is well worth it, and allows you to stock up for your stay. As a family we totally recommend this area and the Gite.

Beautiful location, super house, private pool.
A super house with loads of space and games for young families inside the house and outside. We had a great welcome from Sarah and some lovely local produce in the kitchen for our arrival. There were a few beetle type insects in the bedroom the first night, but once we removed them no others appeared. The pool was brilliant, about 20 degrees (early October!) and not overlooked ... only by the Grand Columbier! Ideal and beautiful location for any cyclist wanting to ride one of the Tours regular routes. The views from the top were just magical ... breathtaking ... out of this world. The garden is not secure, it's open to a neighbours vegetable patch and another neighbours small vineyard. The advert 'facilities' lists not only things at the house eg swimming pool, but also things you can do in the area eg sauna, massage, kayak etc. The figs from the tree in the garden were ripe delicious. A quiet walk (1.5 miles) down a quiet track, steep in part, gets you into the village of Artemare with a boulangerie, Carrefour Contact, butcher and restaurants (we can recommend Le Seran for a lovely meal). Sarah and Claude were perfect and responded promptly to our enquiries. Without question, we would stay there again.

Amazing location, stunning views and lovely hosts!
Where do I start!... The views...wow! Nestled in a small sleepy village at the base of Le Grand Columbier and surrounded by vineyards with clear views of the mountains and stunning sunrises, what more could we ask for?! We were a family of three adults and four children ranging from 5yrs - 15yrs. They were never bored! The pool is fantastic, clean and refreshing after a day lazing in the sun on the comfy loungers - lots of fun had by all. The pool table and ping-pong were great hits with the kids and adults alike too. Beautiful villages to explore nearby, especially Chanaz. An early morning swim in the Lac de Virieu was a little piece of heaven, even more so as we had the whole lake to ourselves! It's definitely worth the drive up Le Grand Columbier for the spectacular views of the Alps and the Rhone Valley. A day trip to Geneva is only an hour away on the train - the old town is worth a visit. Sarah and Claude are genuinely lovely hosts and couldn't be more helpful, even waiting for us to arrive at a ridiculous hour - I think it was after 1am! They arranged to come with us for a wine tasting evening at the neighbours, Claude Collomb, so they could translate for us. The wine is very nice, a little more special knowing it's made from the grapes surrounding the gite! There is so much more I could write about this wonderful little corner of rural France but you'll just have to visit to see it for yourselves! Thanks Sarah & Claude, hopefully we will be back to visit again soon! Lisa, Raymond & family :)
