Mandadodo - BONNAY-SAINT-YTHAIRE

Both passionate about art and nature, Anne & Bernard open the doors to an authentic large traditional house dating from the 19th century, a charming "maisonnette" restored & revisited as a relaxing holiday retreat, nestled in the peace and quiet of a picturesque little rural residential hamlet with old-world charm. Absolute tranquility in the heart of unspoiled countryside, to explore during relaxing walks or mountain bike rides, nestled in the heart of the magnificent local bocage (where the peaceful & famous Charolais cows graze), in the hollow of the green Guye valley (& its fish-filled river) in a protected area in ZNIEFF for its rich fauna & flora. Magnificent landscaped setting all around, combining fields of crops & wooded meadows, hillsides of vineyards and beautiful wild forests. Enchanting rural & natural setting & 100% relaxing. Spacious gîte with good comfort. A gentle country charm with a flea market and bohemian feel, combined with the owner's unique mandala-inspired decor (elegant murals, painted furniture, and paintings). A cozy, cabin-style bedroom nestles under the eaves. A large, exposed terrace (complete with a lovely sheltered mini-terrace) opens onto a pleasant 250m² enclosed flower garden, dotted with the owner's stone sculptures, and offering an unusual mandala vegetable garden cultivated using permaculture techniques (arranged in a circle and rich in numerous perennial plants; picking possible with the owners' consent). Composition: Detached house adjoining the owners' house (complete independence) on a gated property. Electric heating. Duplex gîte.
