My wife and I spent two weeks in this lovely, comfortable mountain retreat. It is a studio apartment with a nicely appointed kitchen where we prepared meals each day. The views of the Chartreuse massif from the hillside just in front of the the gite's doorway are stunning (better than a picture can quite capture). The village at the bottom of the hill has excellent shops--bakeries, butcher, cheese, wine, vegetable and fruit, and grocery store. We also raided the vegetable garden each evening (at our hosts' invitation) for fresh salad ingredients. The gite is completely private, yet you also have on site wonderful hosts, Anna and Pierre, happy to help with any issue that might arise. Hiking and cycling are at the doorstep. And with a nice central location, innumerable other excursions are within an hour's drive. So many, in fact, that we'll be returning to pick up where we left off.
