Nature and surroundings

The cottage is especially suited for people who love peace and nature and are looking for a low-stimulus environment. Unlike most houses from that era, the farmhouse stands completely alone, with the nearest homes about 500 meters away. True silence! The complete darkness of night provides a sharp view of the Milky Way and countless stars. The house is located at an elevation of 1,040 meters in the Livradois-Forez Nature Park (municipality of Saint-Germain-L’Herm, Puy-de-Dôme department). This park consists of protected natural landscapes with a rich and diverse array of flora and fauna. Forests, hills, and volcanoes alternate with sweeping, green valleys and heathlands. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking and biking enthusiasts. During the season—September/October—the forests around the house are full of edible mushrooms such as chanterelles and porcini. This period offers beautiful late-summer weather.

    The cottage isn't big, but it does have an outdoor seating area and a large orchard; it's a great spot for hikers.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A lovely little cottage and it has all the amenities you could want. A small but well-equipped kitchen, a nice shower, and a big TV with lots of DVDs. The friendly owner gave us a great list of markets and hiking trails.
    The VIVAL grocery store in Germain-l-Herm sells that delicious Salers cheese from Auvergne—you’ve got to try it.

    Everything present. Very cozy.

    I have been there before - then the cottage belonged to a different owner - but the atmosphere and comfort were as before and the host was perfect: kind, welcoming and very relaxed.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
