ARCHITECT DESIGNED HOME WITH STUNNING PANORAMIC VIEW AND SWIMMING POOL

Uniquely designed home with stunning panoramic view, the gite du Grand Colombier is situated in a prime location on the Grand Colombier with mountains and valley views. The Landscaped south facing garden leads you down to the pool and a shady garden area great for children; This house breaths holidays happiness !!!

On the grand Colombier (Tour de France), 9 miles from the lac du Bourget, an hour from Geneva and Lyon;
Our third gîte is ideally situated for people who appreciate nature, outside activities (walking, road cycling, VTT, water-sports, Fly fishing, horse riding...), and Wine tasting (There are about 10 others within a 5 mile radius).
From the gite, you will enjoy walking for miles on the scenic foot paths of the grand colombier (if you make it to the top, you will be rewarded by one of the most spectacular views in France). If you are a keen cyclist, you can take up the challenge ok the famous "Tour de France 4 headed monster" or just enjoy the Viarhôna which is great for families.

Ideal for families with children of all ages and pet friendly, the gite is equipped with trampoline, table tennis, American billard table, private south facing swimming pool (8X4 meters) garden and games.

The Gite du "Grand Colombier " is a Fantastic hide away in a beautiful undiscovered part of France.

Beautiful home, amazing views, charming and helpful hosts! Their local recommendations were the best. Our family loves cycling & winemaking so this home perched on lower slopes of the Grand Colombier was perfect.

Fun at lac du bourget
This area is stunning, very laid back with friendly people. The lake is so peaceful and just feeds the soul to be there. It’s our second year at one of Sarah and Claude’s properties so I think that speaks for itself x

The best property yet.
This gite was beautiful. The view was magnificent and the layout and house was extremely pleasing. The only thing that surpassed the magnificence of the property was the generosity and hospitality of the hosts Sarah and Claude.

We were impressed and felt so comfortable
We arrived very late, which was no problem for the landlords. From the first moment we felt very comfortable in the beautiful house. There was wine for us and juice for the children as a gift on the table and fresh flowers in the vases. The next morning, when we looked out the terrace with its incredible panoramic view, we were completely blown away. Everything was designed and made with love. We enjoyed playing table football and spending hours at the pool. The equipment is very good and everything is clean. The whole house invites you to stay. Everything can be reached within a few minutes by car. The owners are very nice and answered all our questions very quickly.

Fantastic unspoilt hideaway
From the moment that we arrived we were spoiled, personally welcomed by Claude & Sarah at the door. They had left wine and cheese for the adults and apple & pear juice and cakes for the children all from the local area, which were a lovely start to this fabulous stay. The whole Gite was fantastic, split over 3 levels, in this quite hideaway, we could not have asked for more and were spoilt, after travelling onwards on our French summer vacation, it was further clear how good our stay was. It’s such a lovely quite area of France to stay, with so much on the door step, from watching the sunset at the top of the Col Du Grand Colombier, swimming in the nearby lakes, miles of rolling roads for cycling, tree top adventures and not forgetting the wine tasting. The Gite had everything we needed for a family of 5, all the games available, to the pool and perfect accommodation. We loved the Gite and hospitality so much, we have booked again with Claude & Sarah at one of there other Gites for next year for a full two weeks. Thank you Sarah & Claude.

Super séjour dans un cadre agréable
La maison est idéale pour les activités adultes et enfants (piscine avec profondeur variable, billard, baby-foot, sauna). Le four est un peu petit pour une cuisiner en grande quantité. Nous sommes venus en famille et avons passé de bons moments, notamment sur la terrassee. Le portail de la piscine ne pouvait pas se fermer à clé mais les enfants ont été disciplinés. Nous recommandons cette maison.

Très belle maison bien située
La maison est très belle avec un coup de cœur pour la grande terrasse !!! Idéalement situé avec un terrain de pétanque à 2min en voiture. Petit bémol pour le sauna qui ne marchait pas ce week end là, seulement 3 raquettes de ping pong (dommage une 4eme serait la bienvenue) et le manche du baby-foot cassé donc pas de possibilité de jouer... Quelques rafraîchissements à ce niveau et ce serait parfait ! Un grand merci à nos hôtes, nous avons passé un super séjour !

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in schöner Lage
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Haus von Sarah und Claude. Der Pool war gefüllt und wurde gereinigt, war im April aber eiskalt, was die Kinder nicht davon abgehalten hat, trotzdem reinzuspringen. Im Sommer ist er sicher ein Traum. Sarah hat uns bei der Ankunft empfangen und war sehr nett. Für 7 Personen + Hund war genügend Platz, Haus, Garten und Terrasse sind groß. Es gibt sogar eine kleine Sauna, Tischtennis, Billard, Dart und Tischfußball. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön! Insbesondere für Radfahrer, aber auch zum Wandern. Lyon ist einen Besuch wert, man erreicht es in etwas über einer Stunde. Vielen Dank an Sarah und Claude, dass wir in ihrem schönen Haus wohnen durften.

Tolle Woche in einem tollen Haus
Wir hatten mit Freunden und 2 Hunden eine prima Woche in diesem tollen Haus mit einer wunderschönen Terasse und einem schönen Pool, die wir ausgiebig genossen haben. Sarah ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin und hat uns viele Tips für die Umgebung gegeben. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön und mit den Hunden optimal. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus spazieren gehen. Falls es uns nochmal in die Gegend zieht, würden wir das Haus auf jeden Fall wieder buchen. Liebe Grüße Michaela

prachtig schoon huis en omgeving. Mooi zwembad.
Wij waren er in mei 2 weken me onze jongens en 2 hondjes. Ontzettend mooie vakantie gehad. Alles klopte. Toevallig ook erg mooi weer gehad. Sarah (eigenares ) heeft ons ontvangen . Super aardig. In het huis was van alles te doen...tafelstennis biljard enz.... Heel veel gebruik gemaakt van het prachtige zwembad. Iedere dag weer genoten van het grote Balko/terras . s'morgens met een kop koffie en s'avonds met een glaasje wijn. wij komen weer terug... misschien al volgend jaar :)

Très bon séjour
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille pendant les vacances de la Toussaint. Bien chauffée, très propre, équipée d’un sauna et d’une salle de jeu, la maison est confortable et agréable à vivre. Une terrasse couverte équipée d’une grande table et d’une balancelle permet de profiter d’une jolie vue sur la vallée. La maison est bien située : le village le plus proche (Artémare, à 5 minutes en voiture) dispose de plusieurs commerces de bouche et d’un petit supermarché. Nous avons été gentiment accueillis et pu profiter des conseils avisés de la propriétaire sur les sites à visiter. En deux mots : très bien.
