Gîte Chartreuse

Surrounded by historic stone buildings and a relaxed lifestyle, discover the Chartreuse holiday cottage in the heart of the Dombes region. A castle annex for 6 people, with access to the owners’ Piscine

Welcome to the gateway to the Dombes region, in the Ain department.

Push open the large wrought-iron gate leading to the grounds and watch the château come into view at the end of the driveway: welcome to this charming annex, La Chartreuse—your vacation home for 6 people, surrounded by stone walls, exposed beams, and a relaxed way of life.
This holiday cottage is a small, characterful home nestled close to the main estate. Inside, its charm is immediately apparent: exposed whitewashed beams on the ceiling, light wood paneling on the walls, and warm terracotta tile floors... The spacious living area invites you to relax, with its plush sofas and an antique solid-wood sideboard that stands proudly, a testament to the tastefully curated furnishings.

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, this 6-person holiday cottage offers three bedrooms, each with its own unique atmosphere: one, featuring light pine paneling, playfully evokes winter sports and the Mountain, creating a cozy Chalet-like ambiance that’s truly charming. Two of them, more intimate, turn out to be truly cozy little nests—perfect for kids, who will find their very own hideaway there, or for adults seeking a snug and reassuring cocoon. Far from being a mere detail, this layout is what gives the house its charm—every nook and cranny has been carefully thought out, where the privacy of the bedrooms blends with the spaciousness of the shared living areas, making it ideal for a family vacation in the Dombes or a getaway with friends.
The icing on the cake: the owners’ pool is available for your use. It is shared with the estate’s Bed and breakfast rooms. For moments of tranquility, the orchard—with its old, gnarled trees offering generous shade—is perfect for a nap on the grass or a leisurely stroll along the paths.

Here you are at the gateway to the Dombes, this unique region crisscrossed by a thousand ponds where nature reclaims its place and migratory birds offer a spectacle that changes with the seasons—an ideal destination for family outings in the Ain, combining wildlife watching with the great outdoors. Just a few minutes away, Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne welcomes you to its remarkably well-preserved medieval center, where strolling through its century-old market halls is a simple, authentic pleasure, amid half-timbered facades and charming alleyways that seem straight out of another era. A little further on, Bourg-en-Bresse, the capital of the Ain department, rounds out this getaway with its rich heritage and lively atmosphere. Set amid unspoiled nature and historic stone buildings, this vacation rental in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is a true playground for travelers seeking authenticity, tranquility, and wonderful discoveries.
