Gîte du Promeneur

Description

Martine and Dimitri (an accomplished trail runner, passionate about hiking and mountain biking, and intimately familiar with the area) welcome you to their charming, authentic, traditional Morvan house, dating back to 1874 and carefully restored (a typical former farmhouse). Nestled in a peaceful setting on a quiet lane on a west-facing hillside, it lies in the heart of a tranquil little rural hamlet immersed in the unspoiled, gently rolling mountain countryside (a protected ZNIEFF area due to its rich flora and fauna). Perfectly preserved and steeped in history (located near the old Roman road that once connected Autun to Orléans), this picturesque village enjoys a soothing landscape of pure nature and greenery (offering the rare privilege of observing wildlife), tucked away in a bucolic valley of wooded meadows and beautiful forests, in the middle of the vast forest of the Morvan massif (and the Regional Natural Park). The surrounding area is breathtakingly beautiful and utterly rejuvenating, perfect for leisurely walks or mountain biking. Located 7 km from the charming market town of Anost, perched at an altitude of 550m in a sublime setting, Anost is home to numerous artists (visual artists, sculptors, writers, photographers, musicians, etc.). It boasts a variety of small shops and services (including a mini-market), a leisure center (with a lovely lake for swimming), and notable heritage sites (a 12th-century Romanesque chapel and church housing the famous "Recumbent Figures of Anost," a 13th-century masterpiece listed as a Historical Monument). The cottage offers excellent comfort, with a spacious living area and cozy bedrooms nestled under the eaves, creating a charming, cabin-like atmosphere. A warm, "country chic" feel, with a touch of "Mediterranean," blending tradition and modernity in a delightful dialogue with the unique character of the place (stone fireplace and walls, exposed beams, brick and wood lintels, terracotta tiles... all original). Full of charm and character. A cozy and inviting atmosphere. A pleasant enclosed garden, home to a cherry tree and an apple tree (fruit picking is possible during your stay), complete with a large terrace shaded in summer.
