The house
Upon entering Le Petit Refuge, you immediately step into a cosy conservatory. This is the perfect place to relax, especially in spring and autumn, when the first rays of the sun warm the space wonderfully.
From the conservatory, you walk through to the living room and kitchen, which together form one open and cosy space - ideal for cooking, eating together or just enjoying each other's company. The kitchen includes a 3-burner induction hob, oven and is amply equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Of course, there is also a coffee machine (Nespresso), kettle and microwave.
Behind the kitchen is the utility room, where you will find the washing machine and the toilet. Here you will also find the stairs to the first floor. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom with a rain shower and a second toilet. The largest bedroom has a double bed (150x190cm). Here you will also find the bathroom. In the second bedroom you will find two single beds (80x200cm) that can be combined to form a double bed (160x200cm).
Le Petit Refuge is wonderfully free and sunny on its own grounds of about 300m2. The gîte has a front garden and a spacious back garden where you can sit in the sun in complete privacy with a good book or eat together. Deck chairs and a barbecue are at your disposal.
Combining cosiness with practicality, the gîte offers everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Le Petit Refuge is located in a small hamlet of six houses, part of the municipality of La Cellette. It is a lovely quiet and green area and from the cottage you can walk straight into nature. For those who prefer cycling, there are also plenty of possibilities (bear in mind the hilly terrain).
A 5-minute drive (or 20-minute walk) brings you to Pionsat, a charming village with all the amenities you need: a supermarket, pharmacy, bank, café and restaurant. A visit to Pionsat castle is also well worthwhile!
La Cellette is located in the Combrailles, a picturesque region in the north-west of the Puy-de-Dôme department. The region is known for its varied landscape: rolling hills, vast forests, babbling brooks and charming villages. Here you will find traditional farms, meadows bordered by hedges, and the impressive "gorges" of the river Sioule, which are definitely worth a visit.
For hikers, cyclists and nature lovers, the Combrailles is a paradise. With hundreds of kilometres of quiet trails, you can explore the region at your own pace, on foot or by bike. From winding roads through the countryside to spectacular viewpoints over the Sioule Gorge, there really is so much beauty to discover.
The region also invites relaxed road trips past picturesque villages, ancient churches and hidden gems. In the Combrailles, time seems to stand still, making it the ideal destination to unwind.
