About this property

Charming gite with character

We offer you a renovated gite in the heart of Besse, close to the shuttle service for Super Besse, and Beffroi. The gite is located in the ramparts of Besse; it has an entrance overlooking the south-facing terrace, a large kitchen-dining room, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom (with bathtub and shower), a paved courtyard with freestones, and a small garden.
The gite is equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer, TV, DVD player, and it includes Wi-Fi. At the entrance, there is a ski room. The gite is being ranked.

Number of main rooms: ____4___________
Living area of the rental: ______around 100 sq. m
Garden: South oriented paved courtyard and small garden on the west side of the building.

Secondary rooms: Bedrooms hallway and corridor: 20 sq.m, north facing.
The gite is located in a private property in the old Besse. The entrance is completely independent from the main part of the house, and it is on the same level of the living area that has a view of the gardens of old Besse on one side and of the ramparts and Beffroi on the other. The bedrooms are on an intermediate level, in relation to the living room, and they have charming views of the old village. There is an internet area in the hallway outside the bedrooms.

The outdoor photos show different views from several rooms in the gite, and sites close by foot (less than 50 m) from the gite.

Garage/ Parking spaces: The courtyard can also be used as a parking space. In winter, we recommend parking the car in front of the gate so you are not trapped in by the snow.

In summer, a peaceful garden in the ramparts of the village is the place where you can cook a barbecue, have a nap, or simply do nothing...

Cot and high chair upon request.

The rental is for one week.
It is possible to rent the gite for 2 days on the weekend, at any time other than school holidays and May peaks, for € 220.

Besse
Super appartement, comme dans la descriptions tout est parfait, la vue des chambres donne directement sur l'intérieur des remparts et permet de voir l'ambiance. La wifi à besoin d'un amplificateur car nous avons pas pu l'utiliser. Sinon vraiment très bien je recommande et les propriétaires son super gentil.

Situation exceptionnelle
Tout était très bien, proche de la perfection. L'emplacement au coeur du village de Besse est exceptionnel. L'appartement est très bien équipé, spacieux, agréable. Nous étions trois : chacun sa chambre avec salle d'eau. Parfait. Le rapport qualité-prix est très satisfaisant. Ne manquait plus que la pension complète, la piscine et le spa...et la lune pour les plus exigeants jamais contents. Merci.

What makes this property unique

The gite is located in the heart of the old village; there is no need to take your car to do the shopping. Every Monday, you can taste natural products from the region at the local market.
The gite at the ramparts is in an old construction, the living room is completely renovated to today's standards on the part of the house from the XIX century. The freestone staircase is from the XVI century, and the bedrooms are from the XVIII century. The house is decorated with antique family furniture. But all the beds are new! Double-glazing and double cladding on the walls help maintain the heat in during winter and provide coolness during summer.
Bathtub and shower in bathroom.
The view is magical and relaxing... On one side, you have Besse's main square, with a fountain and restaurant terraces...
On the other side, you have a view of the ramparts, the old Beffroi, gardens, and the south terrace with complete calm.
From the gite, you can hike to Pavin Lake, 1h30 min away by foot (5 min by car).
Skiing in winter, mountain biking in summer, fishing in spring, and mushroom picking in autumn...
From the gite, you can visit many cultural and natural sites with a car, by foot or bike...
