Le Prieuré de Montverdun

With its 360° panoramic view of the morning and evening mountains, this restored Casadean Priory, listed as a Historic Monument, offers you the serenity of its basalt walls, its 12th and 15th century church and its gîte, for a timeless stay or stopover in the heart of the Pays de l'Astrée.

Overlooking the Pays de l'Astrée, the Prieuré de Montverdun invites you to enjoy a stay where history, nature, and exploration come together. From the volcanic stone ramparts, the view takes in the vineyards of the Côtes du Forez, the ponds, and the surrounding hills. The Cléontine Trail leads on foot to the Château de la Bâtie d’Urfé, while hikers can enjoy the many trails starting from the village, notably the GR®89. Heritage enthusiasts will also appreciate the Château de Goutelas, the Marcilly-le-Châtel Bird Sanctuary, and the Vine Museum in Boën-sur-Lignon. Families can explore the Biterne Nature Reserve and the Forez Ecopole, true sanctuaries for local wildlife. This vacation home in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is the perfect destination for a vacation or weekend getaway combining relaxation, exploration, and quality time together in a pristine natural setting.
