About this property

Gîte in an oasis of nature, between Cantal and Puy de Dôme

The Lac des Estives Holiday Village is located in the Parc des Volcans in Haute Auvergne, on the Cézallier plateau on the border between Cantal and Puy de Dôme. Its central position will allow you to easily visit the Auvergne, its lakes and its volcanoes.
It is an atypical environment that awaits you at the end of the road: the holiday village is in the middle of summer pastures at 1220 m altitude. You will be immersed in a setting close to the Scottish lands and Mongolia. The panorama is grandiose with the view of the massif of Sancy and the Monts du Cantal.
The cottages are located in a small holiday village on a property of 9ha. The three-hectare lake is full of rainbow trout, fario and fountain salmon caught only by the whipped fly.

The holiday village is equipped with a heated and covered 7x14m swimming pool (opening from April 13th to November 4th), a petanque court, a games room (billiards, table tennis, table football, wooden games), a library, a toy library and Wifi access at the reception.

Summer:
Bread roll 3 days / week, Auvergne dishes to take away.
Free activities: boat trip on the lake, crayfish fishing, screening of a movie in our cinema room.

In winter, you can go tobogganing and snowshoeing from the holiday park (on site: snowshoes and toboggans available). Super Besse Ski Resort is 40 minutes away by car.

The Lake of the Estives can be also the center of your green holidays, the nature is splendid and preserved (Area Natura 2000), the walks and excursions are multiple (waterfall of the Saillant with 45 min on foot, Mont Chamaroux: 3h30 round-trip, GR30). The high plateaus of Cézallier offering total darkness, this territory is ideal to observe the stars.

The lodging 7 places is composed on the ground floor of a room of life with living room, kitchen, corner meal, 2 rooms with 1 double bed, room of bath and toilet separated, terrace with living room of garden and barbecue. The mezzanine, accessible by a miller's ladder (a barrier to close the mezzanine), is equipped with 3 single beds (mattress, pillows and duvets provided).

Merveilleux séjour en tranquillité

Une semaine au calme dans un endroit vraiment charmant; nous avons par ailleurs profité d'un accueil et d'une disponibilité de l'équipe remarquable.

Peu pratique pour une personne en fauteuil roulant

A l'entrée, aucune rampe d'accès au logement. L'intérieur est un peu étroit et pas vraiment pratiquable. La salle de jeux n'est pas accessible pour un fauteuil roulant. Rien n'est prévu dans la piscine pour les Pmr. Durant le séjour, nous avons dû partir souvent dans d'autres lieux pour trouver un peu plus d'accessibilité. Nous sommes globalement déçus compte-tenu du prix de la location et du peu de commodité...

Site magnifique et environnement familial

Situé dans un site splendide, à 2 pas de magnifiques randonnées que l'hôte peut recommender, le domaine du Lac des Estives offre un cadre familial extra. Nos enfants (4 à 11 ans) ont adoré l'aire de jeux, le club house avec bibliothèque et ludothèque pour petits et adolescents et la piscine. Les hôtes ont clairement penser à rendre notre sejour le plus agreable possible. Il y a même un parcours de chasse au tresor avec des enigmes dissimulées tout autour du domaine.

Séjour reposant au cœur de la nature et des grands espaces

Nous avons passé quelques jours fort sympatique au milieu de nulle part : dépaysement total et tranquilité assuré. Marche, piscine, jeux à dispositions.

Très satisfaits

Cadre superbe. Location un peu vieillotte et limité côté vaisselle mais cela n'a rien gâché à notre séjour. Propriétaire répond rapidement, très bon accueil! Prévoir 35 à 40 min de Super Besse.

Très beau séjour

Le gite est simple mais reste confortable, bien chauffé. Manque un poil de petites cuillères et de verres ! Très calme et bien situé au bord d'un petit lac. Bon point de départ pour diverses randonnées. Accueil sympathique et tous les renseignements dispo à l'accueil.

Au cœur de la nature

Accueil chaleureux, matériel mis gracieusement à disposition (luges, raquettes,...) très sympathique pour aller profiter des stations à proximité. Nous avons apprécié la neige à super basse et les circuits de randonnée au départ du village.

Séjour agréable dans un coin superbe

Le concept est vraiment sympa : petits habitats individuels, endroit complètement isolé et calme, devant un lac, une salle commune de jeux (baby foot ping pong...), une séance de cinéma par semaine dans une belle salle de grange rénovée ; beaux paysages du Cantal. Piscine en atout, propre et agréable .On n'entend que les cloches des moutons !! En outre, accueil des gérants du gite très sympathique A recommander++ si on accepte un peu d'isolement
