Attractive *** Apartment in the French Alps, a farmhouse dating from 1751 by the river

The Giffre apartment, which sleeps 6, is named after the river you can see from the living room. The house is located on the edge of the woods, surrounded by mountains with various hiking and mountain biking trails (including some right by the house).

We offer cozy and fully equipped vacation rentals at a reasonable price. The apartments are very spacious. For example, the Giffre apartment measures 105 m². We aim to be as self-sufficient as possible and are constantly working to achieve this goal. Currently, we have our own water source that provides us with drinking water, and solar panels are in place to supply electricity. We’re planning to install an electric vehicle charging station in the future. We’ve also planted fruit trees and bushes and have started growing vegetables. The herb gardens are almost finished, and once they’re full, our guests will be able to make full use of them.

The apartment features a large living room with a dining area, an open kitchen, one bathroom with a tub, a rain shower, and a double sink, one bathroom with a rain shower and a toilet, and a separate toilet. There are 3 bedrooms: one with a double bed, one with two single beds, and one with a bunk bed.
