Holiday Gite, Auvergne - Puy de Dome
Gite in the Auvergne near Puy de Dome
La Maison de Reflexion, a peaceful holiday home in the Auvergne
Our aim, for ourselves and for our guests, is for life to be as simple, as stress-free and as slow as possible. Slow in this context does not mean to move at a snail's pace (unless you want it to, of course), but to live at a sustainable pace, at which "now" is more important than "then" and "quality" is more important than "quantity". We aim to provide a refuge where you can simply be and de-stress, where you can boost your energy whilst recovering from an illness perhaps or where you can write or paint in tranquility.
- An entirely self-contained, fully-equipped gite which comfortably sleeps 1-4 people
- Decorated and furnished to a high standard
- Enclosed, south-facing and lawned garden, ideal for children and dogs
- Wood burning stoves and radiators make it perfect for a year around getaway

| Leisure and Activities |
|
| There is plenty to do in the Auvergne as a region but also locally with water sports, outdoor heated swimming pool, mini-golf and tennis and squash courts available for hire around the lake at nearby St Remy sur Durolle (10 kms) as well as restaurants and cafes. The town itself has a small selection of essential shops, bars and cafes and boasts a small Sunday morning market. The Auvergne makes a wonderful activity holiday destination for walking, cycling, mountain- and quad-biking, fishing, birdwatching, Nordic skiing at nearby Montoncel (in winter, of course) and simply relaxing and enjoying.

"We had a fantastic week in your 'maison'. It is a really quiet and peaceful place to be. Also for the children it was great. They really like the garden and the flowers and of course to give them a lot of water! The dinners were delicious and relaxed. The surrounding is beautiful, we liked the panoramic views and the suberb sunsets! The lake near St Remy with swimming pool were the children's favourite. Thankyou very much for your great hospitality! The children will miss you!.....Hope to see you again."
