This stable, converted into a home with a walled garden, was formerly a stable and dog kennel that belonged to the adjacent chateau. It is completely secluded and situated on high ground, offering views of hills and forests, close to the "Morvan" Nature Park. Inside the house, all the original oak beams are still visible, and the historic details have been preserved as much as possible; however, the house is fully equipped with modern amenities, featuring a walled garden with palm and olive trees, a terrace, and a jacuzzi. Enjoy the stars in the evening. A BBQ is available at cost per stay. On New Year’s Eve, our gîte and the surrounding area are fireworks-free. The town of Decize is also easily accessible—less than a quarter of a mile away. The village of Cercy-la-Tour is 6 kilometers from the gîte, where you’ll find a bakery and a large supermarket.

    A lovely and cozy cottage, fully equipped. To fully relax and rest. No hectic, no stimuli, no rush, no time. Cottage is fully equipped with everything you need. Very cozy and welcoming interior and exterior and a wonderful bed to sleep.

    Had a wonderful stay in this cottage. Fully equipped and very tastefully decorated. Nice patio garden with lots of privacy and a jacuzzi! Nature Park the Morvan is nearby and worth a visit.

    The house and the furnishings are of a very high standard. The garden, the stove, the bed, the bathroom,... everything is really wonderful. The kitchen layout could be more ideal from our point of view. The only drawback is the busy road that runs past the house. The noise unfortunately woke us up every morning.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The surroundings themselves are beautiful and relaxing. Unfortunately, a busy road runs past the house.

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.
