Peace and adventure in the Ourche Valley
Welcome to our beautiful holiday home, located in the peaceful valley of the Ourche River, right in the heart of nature. Surrounded by lush forests, hiking trails, and a sparkling lake just a short walk away, our accommodation offers the perfect holiday experience for anyone seeking relaxation and adventure. The gîte is situated on one of our sites, La Forge Neuve, just 2.5 km from the main site (Thietry).
Charm & Comfort
Gîte Cipres is a beautiful blend of modern renovation and the authentic charm of the old house, suitable for 5 people. The ground floor features a cozy living room with direct access to a spacious terrace, where you can enjoy the beautiful view and fresh air. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook, and the bathroom with a separate toilet adds extra comfort.
Upstairs, you’ll find three charming bedrooms: 2 large rooms, each with two (separate) box-spring beds, and a smaller room with one bed. The house is equipped with central heating and cable internet.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, an adventurous holiday with friends, or a family vacation, Gîte Cipres offers everything for a relaxing stay in a beautiful, natural setting.
