Gîte des Chaises Basses - Maison typiquement corrézienne dans un calme absolu

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 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.

Nous avons passé un agréable et très reposant séjour aux « Chaises Basses » en cette fin d’été.

Le gîte est composé d’une belle et ancienne maison qui dispose de tout le confort, tout en conservant son cachet d’origine

avec des éléments tels que cheminée, parquets, placards muraux intégrés etc …

Il est bien équipé, fonctionnel, agréable à vivre. La literie en 160 de large y est confortable.

La maison ouvre sur un jardin spacieux, arboré de tilleuls, pommiers, acacias et arbustes d’ornement.

Plus loin le paysage est boisé ou en pâturages et il y règne un calme absolu propice à la détente.

Aucune pollution sonore ou visuelle n’est venu nous troubler.

Monsieur de Lupel, le propriétaire, est un homme bienveillant, attentionné, discret et respectueux de ses hôtes.

Bref, nous avons fait une belle rencontre dans un endroit qui a assurément beaucoup de charme.

Beau gîte bien entretenu très au calme. Idéal pour un séjour avec des enfants en bas âge. La région offre un beau potentiel de ballades et de baignades. Très beaux villages aux alentours et mention particulière pour les marchés de pays

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.
