About this property
In the Shadow of First Names - Alice's Guesthouse
Treat yourself to a peaceful and comfortable getaway in this fully renovated former family home, where our holiday rentals elegantly blend old-world charm with high-quality modern amenities. Exposed stone walls, carefully selected materials, and contemporary features create a warm and refined atmosphere. Each cottage features a beautiful private terrace offering an exceptional view of the Massif Central mountains. Here, you can savour the tranquility of the countryside and fully enjoy a preserved natural environment. Located at the end of a quiet road, the property enjoys a peaceful and idyllic setting, perfect for relaxation. You’ll be staying on a working family farm—a unique opportunity to discover the authenticity of rural life and the rhythm of the seasons. Depending on the time of year, certain farming activities may be visible from the cottages, adding to the lively and authentic character of the place. Whether you’re looking for rest, wide-open spaces, or a base from which to explore the region’s treasures, our cottages promise you a comfortable stay in an exceptional and authentic setting. Discover a cottage fully renovated in 2026, combining modern comfort with a peaceful setting. Featuring a separate entrance, this cottage—adjacent to a second cottage—ensures your privacy thanks to minimal visibility from neighbouring properties and a setting perfect for relaxation. Enjoy a quiet setting with a magnificent view, ideal for recharging your batteries and savouring the tranquility of the countryside. The cottage has been thoughtfully furnished to offer you all the necessary comforts year-round, thanks to reversible air conditioning that provides both heating and cooling. The kitchen is fully equipped with an induction cooktop, a dishwasher, a Tassimo coffee maker, a kettle, an oven, a microwave, and a toaster. To make your stay more convenient, you’ll also have access to a washing machine and a dishwasher. The terrace is furnished with an outdoor table, patio furniture, and a gas griddle. Bed linens and towels are provided. Cleaning is not included in the price, but can be added as an option (you’ll need to gather the laundry, clean the kitchen and the griddle, and take out the trash) Whether you’re here for a weekend or an extended holiday, this cottage offers a comfortable, modern, and relaxing setting to fully enjoy your stay. Our cottage is located on the edge of a working farm, in the heart of an authentic rural setting. Staying here means enjoying the tranquility of the countryside while discovering the reality of farm life. As with any farm, there may be occasional disturbances depending on the time of year: odours associated with farm work, the presence of flies or insects, farm machinery passing by, and noise from equipment or animals. These activities are an integral part of farm operations and the rhythm of country life. Since the cottage is located away from the main farm buildings, the owners do everything they can to minimise these inconveniences as much as possible and ensure guests’ comfort. By choosing this cottage, you are opting for an authentic farm stay with a family that lives on the property and whose primary occupation is farming. This is an opportunity to discover a vibrant, authentic, and unspoiled rural setting—far from standardised tourist destinations—while enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside.
