About this property
Charming cottage due south gates of Queyras, Ecrins and Embrun
HABITAT MOUNTAIN A COSY ATMOSPHERE
We welcome you to our traditional stone-built mountain home which has been carefully renovated to provide all modern amenities while at the same time preserving its authenticity and cosy, comfortable feel. Located in a small hamlet at an altitude of 1200m, it is just five minute drive from the picturesque market town of Chorges.
The 35m2 cottage comprises a 17m2 open plan living/dining/kitchen area (opening out onto a private, south-facing 20m2 terrace), a double bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom with Italian-style shower. The modern, functional, fully-equipped kitchen has a convection oven with a gas and electric hob and extractor hood, a microwave, fridge freezer and Nespresso coffee machine. The lounge area (which includes the160 x 190cm sofa bed) has a 82cm LCD TV, DVD player and a selection of DVDs, Internet access, and a number of maps and hiking/mountain biking guidebooks and magazines. The bedroom contains two 90 x 190cm beds and has plenty of storage space. The washing machine is housed in the bathroom. If necessary, baby equipment (cot, high chair, changing mat) can be provided.
In addition to the private terrace, where you will find a barbeque and comfortable garden furniture with a parasol, you can also enjoy the owners shady garden from where you will marvel at the view of the lake and the mountains.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Martine
Along with my partner, I enjoy the nature, the mountain activities, the good food and the marvellous quality of life in this pollution-free area. We bought this 19th century house in 2008 and were attracted to it by its superb mountain location and views down over the Serre-Poncon Lake. We have renovated it with sensitivity to retain its original charm.
Why they chose this property
We know this region and particularly appreciate its sunny climate and its turquoise-colored lake and changing, it is also nicknamed 'the sea to the mountains.' It is with evident pleasure that we love to share the joy of living here, the discovery of a region which has strengths that have nothing to envy to the remains of the Alps. Chorges is a thriving market town situated between Gap and Embrun. It has a very popular Sunday morning market and in the summer time there is also a market on Wednesday evenings. It has a relaxed atmosphere and a variety of good shops, bars and restaurants
