You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

2 hours from Paris: 1,500 sq ft of French countryside charm with pool

Nestled within a century-old tree-filled estate, Maison de Célestin welcomes you for a timeless escape. This former gardener's cottage, fully renovated with a cosy country feel, comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests—perfect for family gatherings or friends' getaways.

Here, time slows down. Sunlight floods the kitchen through floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking your private hornbeam-hedged garden. Squirrels play in the ancient trees while the wood-burning stove crackles on winter evenings.

What awaits you:
Three spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with bathtub and a second with walk-in Italian shower, a welcoming living room and a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, oven, dual-zone wine cooler, Tassimo coffee maker…). Outside: your private garden with Weber barbecue, access to the parkland grounds and, from mid-May to mid-September, a heated saltwater pool (12 x 4 m).

A playground for all ages:
Swing set, badminton, pétanque, daily visits to the estate's chickens… Children find their own little paradise here.

Gateway to the Berry region:
Just 8 km from Bourges and its UNESCO-listed cathedral, explore the renowned vineyards of Sancerre, Menetou-Salon and Quincy. The first Loire Valley châteaux (Ainay-le-Vieil, Chambord, Chenonceau) are an easy day trip away. Nature lovers will enjoy rambling along country lanes, picking organic fruit at nearby farms, or simply lounging by the pool.

Practical information:
Minimum stay: 2 nights (weekend) or 3 nights (midweek). Check-in from 4 pm. Unlimited WiFi. Bed linen provided and beds made on arrival. Heating included. Easy parking. Pets welcome (conditions apply).

A lovely house and beautiful grounds

We had the pleasure of staying at Laetitia's house and were so impressed with her rental. It is a very spacious home with an incredible living room and kitchen. Everything was clean and well laid out. The grounds are beautiful. While it was too cool for swimming, I can imagine how lovely it would be to spend time by the pool. Plus, the house is secluded but has easy access to Bourges and several small towns near by. There is a large grocery story within minutes. I am a walker and was able to do my morning walk by walking down the road in front of the house. If you have the opportunity to visit the Loire and want to visit chateaus near Bourges, this house is a wonderful choice. If you want a place to unwind, this house is a great place to go.

Le parc bien entretenu est grand mettant d'immenses arbres en valeur. Merci à nos hôtes pour le cadre de ce weekend

Venant d'Auvergne, nous avons loué le gîte à l’occasion du mariage de notre fille aînée. Nous etions 9 et franchement l’espace de vie nous a vraiment comblé. Chaque piece est décorée avec gout on s’y sent comme à la maison. Tout est fait pour vraiment passé un bon moment, equipements au top. Nous recommandons vivement cet hébergement et recommencerons l’expérience avec grand plaisirs.

La promesse n'est pas tenue

L'annonce de ce gite est complète et présente l'ensemble des prestations que l'on peut espérer sur place. Nous recevons un livret d’accueil détaillé. Malheureusement les activités présentées ne sont pas toutes faisables. L'accueil par la propriétaire est assez froid. J'ai eu l'impression de déranger. Cependant nous avons reçu quelques attentions locales (vin, fromage, œufs du jardin). La maison est décoré avec gout et praticité. C'est chaleureux et bien équipé. Le gîte n'était pas très propre (toiles d'araignées, poussière, poubelle non vidée). Certains draps étaient tâchés. Pour l'extérieur, le jardin est grand et agréable. La piscine est parfaite et très propre. Elle est sécurisée pour les enfants. Ils l'ont apprécié ainsi que la balançoire et le bassin. En revanche il ne faut espérer être au calme. Les propriétaires sont actifs (tondeuse et bricolage sur les 2 jours). Quant au terrain de tennis il n'est pas entretenu, il est couvert de mousse. La propriétaire est réfractaire à prêter son matériel. Pensez à prendre le votre. L'emplacement est pratique car à proximité de Bourges.
