Our nature house is located just outside the small fortified town of Chatillon sur Saone in the valley of the river Apance which flows into the Saone there. In our little street outside the actual village there are 4 houses. The nature house is fully furnished with a well-equipped kitchen, 1 large bedroom with double bed + double sofa bed, loft with double sofa bed located on the covered roof terrace, a lounge with fireplace. The 1000 m² plot slopes up to the village street and has a beautifully landscaped garden with numerous seating areas. The higher you get, the more spectacular the view. Furthermore: lots of peace and quiet. The village is a starting point for walks and bike rides, and there is an information point/shelter for hikers. The village is proud of its history. You will find a good restaurant, tea house, gallery, some gift stores and a museum about the history of the village and the region. Many buildings from the 17th century have been restored and included in the Unesco World Heritage List.

Nature and surroundings

Nature is spacious and expansive. In the forests there is a varied flora and fauna. Wild boars, badgers, foxes, deer.... It all walks around and with a little luck and if you behave a little modestly you will sometimes see them too. The bird population is colorful and numerous. It is the prelude to the High Vosges Mountains. The area is a paradise for hikers and cyclists. The walks lead you through forests, vast fields, small villages and the hilly landscape. They are well marked from the village. The inhabitants of the village are friendly and helpful, as long as you behave with respect for nature and village life. You can swim in the Apance or in Lac de Morimond. Nice towns nearby: Chaumont, Langres, Troyes, Plombiers les Bains. The old Roman bathing culture is omnipresent in the region. 15 kilometers away is Bourbonne les Bains, a town with all amenities. In the village there is a vide grenier every year, and twice a year a Fête Renaissance.

    A beautifully decorated and fully equipped vacation home. Since the owners spend a lot of time there themselves, it truly has everything you need. You can really feel the love that went into renovating and decorating the house.
    Why not a 10: For someone who has trouble with stairs, the house and the beautiful garden aren’t very accessible.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is located on a very quiet street with a unique view of the Apache Valley. It’s a great starting point for beautiful hikes or bike rides.
    The charming cottage, the authentic village, the interactions with the shepherd, neighbors, and owners… and the beautiful region all ensure that this spot guarantees a wonderful stay.

    A lovely house, with genuine old-world French charm—it creaks and groans here and there.
    The owner was easy to reach if we had any questions during our stay. Fiona’s jam, which was waiting for us upon arrival along with a note, made us feel right at home.

    A lovely house in a quiet village. The house is spacious and tidy. The bathroom is indeed a bit small, but how often and for how long are you actually in there each day?
    The side garden and rooftop terrace are amazing. That’s where we spent most of our time. The garden up the hill is AMAZING! The variety, the view… If it weren’t for my ankle injury, I would have spent more time there! In any case, you can spot and hear animals (like lizards) and birds all around the house.
    The neighbors are friendly but not intrusive.
    It’s a shame that the village is losing residents and that, for example, there isn’t a bakery. But the nearby supermarket is good.
    The village is definitely worth a stroll, and you can also take a nice walk in the adjacent forest.
    If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you.

    It almost never happens that we rent the same house for the second time, but this house is definitely worth it. It is charming and fully furnished and when you arrive there is a warm welcome. For us, the biggest attraction is the garden. There is something to see on every level and the higher you get, the more beautiful the view of the valley is. However, if you do not have good mobility, it is not a good option because there is climbing and scrambling involved both in the house ( stairs and elevation) and in the terraced garden.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Completely quiet is nowhere but apart from the mowing sounds and very occasionally a fighter jet in this area you hear nothing but the buzzing of insects. It is very quiet. for the house is a street where about 2 times a day a car passes at snail's pace. From the house you can make beautiful walks.
