    Stylish living in the village square with a large terrace overlooking the Morvan

    The house was built in 1928 and lies at the edge of the peaceful village square of the small South Burgundy village of Saint-Didier-sur-Arroux, which is located in the Regional Morvan Nature Reserve. The house offers a magnificent view of the undulating pastures in which the white Charolais cattle roam, of the Etang de Bousson and of the southern flanks of the wooded Morvan Mountains.

    The annex to the house was in use as a smithy until the sixties of the last century. The village square was then in use to shoe the horses of the farmers and nobilty and to repair farming equipment.

    The village has about 250 inhabitants, most of them live on farms in the surrounding area. In the village itself, you will find, aside from our restaurant La Petite Auberge (www.la-petite-auberge.eu) several houses, a post office, the town hall, the school, the church and a flea/antiques market operated by a Dutch couple.

    The property was everything the ad said. Well equipped and stylish furnishing and decor. The village is very quiet - one restaurant and a tea room/brocante. Well located to many places if you have a car. Also good for walks around local lanes and villages.

    Wonderful place in the countryside
    Very well appointed former forge with beautiful interiors in the middle of a picture-perfect historical village and fantastic views into the surrounding countryside. The area is calm but interesting with great walks and excellent dining options. The nearest city Autun is mere 20 mins away and has a substantial cathedral, museums, lovely ancient streets and even a number of impressive Roman-era buildings. The landlady Ana was very friendly, flexible and open-minded and shared a lot of helpful information on the area. We were happy to meet her and will most certainly book this accommodation again.

    A gem in a beautiful village
    We drove across France for a stay in the Morvan region and arrived tired at the Old Forge having picked up some groceries in Etang sur Arroux on the way. The house and location did not disappoint. Comfortable and well equipped, with the most stunning view of the nearby Lake and surrounding countryside, it was immediately relaxing and we felt very at home. There is plenty to see and do in the area, more than we could possibly fit in to the seven days we were there. I was worried our 11 year old would find it a bit too quiet but he really enjoyed the places we visited, particularly Bibracte, the site of an important Gaullish/Roman settlement which was about 40 mins drive away. He also enjoyed swimming in Lac des Settons and discovering about Romans in Autun! Closer to home, there were lovely walks to be had straight from the door and if course delicious food (and wine). My other half who is a "foodie" had a marvellous time sourcing ingredients to cook at home either in the kitchen or on the splendid bbq. In fact, despite the availability of some reputedly good restsurants nearby, we didn't eat out during our stay. Everyone was very friendly. Anna in particular was a superb hostess, keen to make sure we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. She succeeded! We had a great time and were a little sad to leave our house on the hill.

    Total chill out in a beautiful location
    A sleepy location with stunning views - the perfect place to wind down from the presssures of work. The owner Ana was very helpful and was very quick to respond to any queries we had. We happened to arrive as a heatwave hit France so our first week was unbelievably hot! Although there are no shops in the village it is only a ten minute drive to the nearest town Etang sur Arroux where there is a small but perfectly adequate supermarket a pharmacy and a couple of excellent boulangeries. The only reason we would not stay again is because France is so huge we like to try somewhere different each time we visit this beautiful country. Many thanks again to Ana for her help and kindness during our stay. If you have a stressful job and need to unwind or just like the quiet life this property is for you!

    Marvelous!
    Great cottage "out in the country," up on a hill with superb views. Anna was a great host, friendly and helpful, who just happened to run the very fine restaurant across the street. We stayed for six nights but could happily have stayed for a month. Ann and Terry.

    Dejligt hus i hyggelig fransk landsby
    Vi havde en fantastisk ferie i Saint Didier. Huset var lige, hvad vi havde ønsket os. Det er indrettet i typisk fransk landstil med en smuk smuk udsigt til det omkring liggende landskab. Vi vandrede, var på vintur og slappede af i den hyggelige landsby. Vores vært Ana-Cristina var utrolig hjælpsom i forhold til vores planlægning af vores ture - og så har hun den mest lækre restaurant i landsbyen, som vi besøgte flere gange under vores ophold.
