I always feel that there are a few key points that make any holiday. In this case it was the host being so welcoming and air conditioning, as we were on holiday during the recent heat wave when it hit 40 degrees.The property may be in need of a little general maintenance but I believe that is accounted for in the very reasonable pricing for the stay. We were very comfortable, liked the open-ness of the downstairs kitchen and living room, which made the place feel much bigger, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Pierre was a most gracious host and could not have been better with communication and I hugely value that.It would have been lovely to us the tennis court or volleyball set up but it was just too hot, but those are set in very spacious grounds with lots of space, so maybe another time we would.

un moment de sérénité

Des promenades sur le terrain du gîte et dans la campagne environnante. Beaucoup de calme reposant dans ce gîte. Une journée agréable à Fontainebleau pour visiter son magnifique château et ses jardins. Un petit tour à Bourdelle pour son jardin. Seul petit bémol : l'escalier menant aux chambres... Merci à Pierre et Monique VERGNET de leur gentillesse.

Entspannter Rückzugsort

Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite, aber nie aufdringliche Vermieter. Für Kinder auch wegen des parkähnlichen Gartens sehr gut geeignet, nur bei den Kleinsten muss man wegen des Bachs (Highlight Ruderboot!) vielleicht etwas aufpassen. Zum Grundstück gehören drei Wohnungen, Privatsphäre ist aber gewährleistet.

Idyllic escape to rural France

This is a delightful, very well equipped property, set in over 2 acres, giving plenty of space to relax. Pierre is the perfect host. With a tennis court and areas to play volleyball, petanque and football if you wish, keeping active is easy and convenient. It's a short cycle or walk to the bakery, with easy access to the nearest supermarket. There are several lovely countryside walks to enjoy and numerous pretty villages and towns to visit within easy reach by car. Travelling from the UK could not be simpler as the location is only some 4 hours from Calais.

Wundervolle Tage in Paley :-)

Für uns (Familie mit 2 Kindern) war die Lage der Ferienwohnung Perfekt. Speziell die Kinder haben sich immer darauf gefreut Nachmittags noch ein bisschen Tennis zu spielen, aber vor allem die tollen Tips von Pierre, wie Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte (anstatt Versais), Chateau de Blandy-les-tours oder auch Moret sur-Loing...haben uns sehr geholfen unseren Aufenthalt toll zu gestallten. Vielen Dank dafür noch mal an Pierre .

Small family in Paley

We have had a great time in this house. The owner is honest and kind. The property is clean and in a safe neighborhood. Ground floor is air-conditioned. First floor is not and usually it is okay unless there is an unexpected heat wave like what we have had. Our kids enjoyed playing close to the river and feeding hens and ducks. The town has no mobile net and It was difficult for us to get to the property easily. I was not given the exact location of the property in advance. Upon check in we were told that utility is not inclusive. The owner would calculate how much did we consume then we have to pay for electricity. In addition, cleaning fees (40 euros) didn't include the cleaning of towels. The owner would calculate how many towel did I use then charge me 4 euro for each towel as an additional cleaning fee. In summary, we enjoyed our stay and I recommend this property for those who would like to have a quite and safe place in country-side.

Peaceful stay, good facilities, lovely environment and really helpful owner.

Everything we needed for our holiday, in terms of setting, equipment, help and advice from the owner and lovely grounds to explore and enjoy. We had a relaxing week here, enjoying the peace and quiet, making friends with the neighbours (lovely German family in the next door property, plus free-range chickens and ducks in the grounds!), trying out the boat on the river, exploring the local area (with really helpful advice from Pierre), visiting Paris for the day by train - what more could we want from a week away?

A lovely property in a lovely rural area.

Our family of fived stayed in this property for one week. It was clean, tidy and in a lovely location. The children (aged 14, 13 and 9) loved the very large gardens and playing in the small river. Whilst in a very rural location the property is conveniently located for a day trip into paris via train. There is also plenty to explore in the local area including forests, castles and lakes for swimming. Overall we had a lovely time and felt very welcomed by our host.

Charming modern gîte with a beautiful garden and tennis court at a pleasant and quiet location

What a wonderful place to spend our summer holidays! We booked Gîte De l'Orvanne, which is the smaller of the two gîtes under the same roof, and stayed there for two weeks. Pierre made us feel very welcome at our arrival and was happy to advise us at any time with tips for excursions and restaurants. The gîte is nice and clean and very comfortable. It is a charming 200 year old farm that has been modernized completely in a tasteful modern style. It has modern equipment like basin mixer taps, a Nespresso coffee maker, satellite tv and a washing machine. We will surely remember the beautiful garden. It is exceptionally large and has an interesting variety of trees. Throughout the day the garden offered lots of nice sunny and shadowy spots. The garden is bordered by the Lunain river -- we really enjoyed rowing the boat that is available to the guests of both gîtes. We also spent a lot of time on the private tennis court. Paris is just over an hour's drive away (90 km). We also enjoyed visiting the towns of Fontainebleau (30 km) and Sens (40 km), the palace of Vaux-le-Vicomte (50 km), Provins (60 km) and the Parc des Félins (70 km). There is very little to do in the village of Paley itself, except perhaps some nice walking trails, but there is plenty of beautiful nature in the surroundings. We would certainly recommend Gîte De l'Orvanne to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in France.

Dear Berber Your nice comments make us happy ; we have renewed this property because we love this country, old authentic houses and because we like to share that with other people who appreciate the same things ; I was born in a farm and I like nature and animals, that why you saw ducks, hens, chickens ; Monique used to be chief purser on Air France planes and likes welcoming people and she manages the inside of the houses with her heart It was a real pleasure to spend those two weeks with you and your family and we hope to meet you again in Paley. warm and kind regards; Monique and Pierre
