Charming gite with character

We offer you a renovated gite in the heart of Besse, close to the shuttle service for Super Besse, and Beffroi. The gite is located in the ramparts of Besse; it has an entrance overlooking the south-facing terrace, a large kitchen-dining room, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom (with bathtub and shower), a paved courtyard with freestones, and a small garden.
The gite is equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer, TV, DVD player, and it includes Wi-Fi. At the entrance, there is a ski room. The gite is being ranked.

Description:

Number of main rooms: ____4___________
Living area of the rental: ______around 100 sq. m
Garden: South oriented paved courtyard and small garden on the west side of the building.
First room: Living area (living room-kitchen), around 25 sq. m, east and west oriented.
Second room: Bedroom 1, around 15 sq. m, east facing.
Third room: Bedroom 2, around 15 sq. m, east facing.
Fourth room: Entrance, around 15 sq. m, south facing.
Bathroom and WC: around 15 sq. m, east facing.
Secondary rooms: Bedrooms hallway and corridor: 20 sq.m, north facing.
The gite is located in a private property in the old Besse. The entrance is completely independent from the main part of the house, and it is on the same level of the living area that has a view of the gardens of old Besse on one side and of the ramparts and Beffroi on the other. The bedrooms are on an intermediate level, in relation to the living room, and they have charming views of the old village. There is an internet area in the hallway outside the bedrooms.

The outdoor photos show different views from several rooms in the gite, and sites close by foot (less than 50 m) from the gite.

Garage/ Parking spaces: The courtyard can also be used as a parking space. In winter, we recommend parking the car in front of the gate so you are not trapped in by the snow.

In summer, a peaceful garden in the ramparts of the village is the place where you can cook a barbecue, have a nap, or simply do nothing...

Cot and high chair upon request.

The rental is for one week.
It is possible to rent the gite for 2 days on the weekend, at any time other than school holidays and May peaks, for € 220.

Super appartement, comme dans la descriptions tout est parfait, la vue des chambres donne directement sur l'intérieur des remparts et permet de voir l'ambiance. La wifi à besoin d'un amplificateur car nous avons pas pu l'utiliser. Sinon vraiment très bien je recommande et les propriétaires son super gentil.

Situation exceptionnelle
Tout était très bien, proche de la perfection. L'emplacement au coeur du village de Besse est exceptionnel. L'appartement est très bien équipé, spacieux, agréable. Nous étions trois : chacun sa chambre avec salle d'eau. Parfait. Le rapport qualité-prix est très satisfaisant. Ne manquait plus que la pension complète, la piscine et le spa...et la lune pour les plus exigeants jamais contents. Merci.

Un bel appartement en plein centre de Besse
Bel appartement, spacieux avec un grand séjour salle à manger cuisine, tout ouvert. L’emplacement des chambres vous fera passer par un escalier en pierre de taille qui pourra en surprendre certains mais très agréable. Les chambres sont tout aussi spacieuses et les deux salles de bain avec toilettes sont parfaites. La proximité du centre, des restaurants et autres boutiques rend ce lieu très agréable à vivre avec une véritable vie de bourg en saison dans une ambiance médiévale. L’accès à la station est très simple via la route en voiture, ou bien avec la navette située à 3 minutes à pied. Le plus, une entrée spacieuse qui permet de déposer ses affaires après le ski (ou la randonnée) et qui donne sur une terrasse/entrée de plein pied avec la maison. Bref un excellent séjour!
