    A fantastic property with lots of history. We stayed 3 nights. Our room was well equipped (TV, tea/coffee/water), bathroom was beautiful, and the use of a communal kitchen, diner, seating area with TV. Secure gated parking. Lots of outside seating...

    Great host. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent! We loved our 'classic' room in the castle (which has an interesting history!)

Company information

I like to receive and share pleasant moments with my friends, my family and my guests. I am very active, in addition to my bed and breakfast, I am very involved in my community (town councillor, administrator of the tourist office).

Property information

We bought our house on a whim but with the idea of opening a bed and breakfast. After several years of work, the project was born. Our house dates from the end of the Middle Ages, it is an old winegrower's house.

Neighbourhood information

Désertines is a small, quiet town 4.5km from the historic centre of Montluçon. You can go hiking in Désertines and also along the Cher river. The medieval city of Montluçon is very nice to visit.
