        Beautiful stone house , heated pool,1 hectare of land. Family friendly,local

        Maison de maitre situated in a lovely hamlet close to the historic medieval volcanic village of Usson which is approximately 3 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot.

        This beautiful French Maison de maitre contains a large flowered garden with heated swimming pool (from1june until 1 October). Barns and outside seating areas containing BBQ and shaded areas for those hot summer days. Set in its own grounds of over an hectare of land surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and views of the Puy de Sancy.

        A variety of local footpaths from the house lead to the local restaurant/bar at Usson and to local supermarkets /bars at Sauxillanges. 5 minites by car (variety of shops and petrole station).

        The historic abbatiale town of Issoire , 10 minutes from the house, offers transport links, a weekly market, new swimming complex, spas, canoeing and jet ski centre together with a circuit for racing and all the usual sport facilities. Bowling centre and the cinema is situated close to the town. In addition it has a large number of supermarkets selling local produce including the well known Auvergne cheeses and wines from local producers .

        Local ski resorts, Super besse and Montdore are within easy reach of the house with skiing for all ages and abilities, ski fond and a tobogganing course , overhead zip wire, cables car and funicular rides to the summit, fortified medieval villages, chateaux, spa centres, animal parks, hot air ballooning and paragliding from the top of the highest volcano in the region, the Puy de Dome.

        The city of Clermoint Ferrand with its airport, rail and road links is only 40 minutes drive away. This medieval city is home to the famous ASM rugby team and Michelin.

        Flights twice weekly from Clermont to Stansted during March to October are very popular with locals and tourists alike.

        Renowned for its spa centres, great cycle pistes (the Tour de France arrival in July 2020) and incredible walking opportunities are just many of the outdoor activities that this area offers. The Auvergne remains an undiscovered paradise !

        Can I give it 6 stars? The house is wonderful, the view is stunning, the pool is glorious and the hosts are awesome. We didn't want to leave. We were a family of 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. The sun room was wonderful in the mornings and the pigsty was great for lunch. The walk to Usson was a perfect distance and the view from the top was lovely.

        Lovely period house in a quiet corner of France
        A lovely house in a lively location. We had 7 adults and 4 small children, so we didn’t venture far, except to the swimming lake at Vernet-la-Varenne which is great for kids and adults alike. The pool is great, warm and with a deep middle suitable for both children and adults. Bedrooms are comfortable and the 2nd floor ideal for the kids. We didn’t use the lounge or conservatory but spent most of our time by the pool or in the roofed area outside the kitchen. The roofed area is ideal for shade but would also be shelter in cooler weather. The hosts living locally also helped when we had a problem with the cooker which they address immediately. There’s plenty of space and the facilities are good. I couldn’t fault the place, it was ideal for our requirements.

        Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cette location. la vue est superbe; la maison correspond à la description et nous avons été reçus avec une grande gentillesse par Anita et son mari. C’était la canicule ! Heureusement la piscine était là et nous en avons bien profité ! La veille de notre départ nous avons enfin pu voir le lac et profiter des activités dont nous avaient parlé nos hôtes et nous en sommes revenus ravis ! En conclusion : excellente semaine un peu chaude ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Michèle

La piscine est top, les espaces pour déjeuner et dîner dehors très agréables (mention spéciale pour l’espace couvert qui permet de déjeuner dehors même si le temps est pluvieux), et la maison très bien décorée et agencée. A noter une literie parfaite et des salles de bain propres et modernes. Enfin, les propriétaires sont charmants, discrets mais toujours disponibles.
