Chaises Basses Cottage - Typisches Corrèze Haus in absoluter Ruhe

Tres beau et grand gîte, jardin bien entretenu avec vue imprenable sur un vallon et un bois, equipement pas moderne mais complet et en bon etat nous n avons manqué de rien, propriétaire present a proximité, amical, serviable tout en etant discret. Les photos reflètent bien le gite, meme si il est encore mieux en réalité

The house is equipped with modern facilities which work well. There is a fully functioning kitchen including dishwasher. The bathroom and toilet fittings are reasonably modern and the walk in shower works well There was ample hot water. The only omission was a dryer for the washing. Unfortunately we had some wet weather and it was difficult to dry clothes inside with only a folding rack.

The wooden floors are original ,somewhat undulating and creak a bit,but this is rather natural for such an old building which has been sympathetically restored. Ther are electric wall heaters which mainly work and for cold weather one can have a log fire in the huge original fireplace.

Mobile telephone reception was rather marginal. There is Internet connection which worked reasonably but not in all rooms.

There is good car parking at the side of the house.

A large lawn can be enjoyed in good weather behind the house. A working farm goes on nearbye and sight and sound of the cows is pleasant. The young farmer just up the lane is very friendly and speaks English.

Our host Monsieur de Lupel went out of his way to be helpful and is a very friendly man. We were sorry that his wife was away and M de Lupel had to also leave before our tenure finished,we should have liked to talk more with him in our limited French

The location is very rural in pretty undulating countryside with lots of small villages in the area. Objat and Vigeois are the local towns about 15 or 20 mins away. Further away there is very pleasant upland country areas and the Dordogne valley is very attractive. Brive La Gaillarde is a city which has been well restored but otherwise not so remarkable.

A stay at Les Chaises Basses would appeal to visitors seeking traditional rural France without a heavy tourist presence.

Had a wonderful two week stay with our dogs. Peace and quiet and several walks directly from the house, lots of wildlife, hares and even a beaver. House is spacious with lots of character, great bath and shower with plenty of hot water and everything we needed in the kitchen. Lovely garden and view across a small valley, several supermarkets within an enjoyable 20min drive. Pierre-Gilles and his wife were great hosts, living a few hundred yards up the lane and speaking English, and very friendly and helpful, but left us alone to enjoy out holiday. Great experience of rural France, recommended if you want to get away from it all

This Is a typical 18th century country house - it's very quiet. The owner lives down the road and is very helpful. Everything needed is provided. There are some pretty villages in the area. The closest shopping and restaurants are at least 15 min. away, so it's remote, but very charming.

The amazing, cosy old house, is perfectly equiped, comfortable furnished and the nature and country around is simply a dream!!!

The owners are very friendly, kind and helpful people,so everybody can enjoy the stay in this magic piece of French countryside, and visit a lot of interesting cultural and historical places nearby.
