There are flights with BA and Easy Jet from Heathrow or Gatwick to LYON (1.5 hour drive to the house) where car rental is available. I rent from Holiday Autos.co.uk. Quick access to the A71, makes St Remy within easy reach of the principal towns, Chateaux and places of interest in the area. St Remy is a beautiful 15 mins drive downhill to the medieval town of Thiers, capital of knife-making in France. In nearby Vichy a sophisticated life style is available with its spa, opera, ballet, designer shops, horse racing and water sport. St Etienne, Clermont Ferrand and Lyon are also within easy drive. The Puy de Dome, the highest mountain in the area is a must to visit. There are also many festivals to join in during July and August..

Great holiday

Reservation was very easy , lots of communication with the owner before our arrival . The village has local shops . Every morning, one of us would go to buy the croissants at boulangerie and by the time he returned coffee was ready. The house is in the middle of the village . Very comfortable accommodation with lots of light , good linen and towels, kitchen stocked with minimum needed. Lots of windows and doors we did not suffer from the heat. We will return.

Good value for money

As two couples, we had a lovely stay in this well equipped and spotlessly clean two bedroom, ground floor flat. It was very well located in the little village of Saint Remy sur Durolle....easy walking distance to the village centre with its wonderful Boulangerie and Boucherie. The village is nestled in beautiful countryside with a fabulous lake on its outskirts. It is a peaceful base and very well positioned to explore towns further afield such Vichy, Theirs, Clermont Ferrand. Nardege, the property manager was very welcoming and was available to assist if required. We very much enjoyed our stay.

A comfortable home in a beautiful setting

We found the house extremely comfortable: a very pleasant and spacious home from home, with everything we needed and in a convenient location. Nadege the housekeeper welcomed us with home made biscuits and we lacked for nothing. The area was stunning and we enjoyed many beautiful walks in the mild, dry weather. We went up Puy de Dome by train, but walked up Puy de Pariou and this was probably our highlight, because of the stunning views. We also did several local walks and found the information we obtained from the Livradois- Forez National Park information centre at St Gervais sous Meymont invaluable. We bought a book of suggested walks from there. We loved Thiers and had a wonderful meal at La Belle Excuse. In fact, we fell in love with the whole region because of the variety of the beautiful landscape and the richness of the wildlife. We will never forget the wood full of cyclamen near Donat or the view from the top of La Roche de Volpe near Ambert. We would highly recommend a holiday here. Thank you Anne Marie.

Village with Views

We loved St Remy! The accommodation was comfortable and we had everything we wanted. A small terrace, surrounded by a yew hedge, was ideal for eating outside.The bread shop was a two minute walk and one of the two small supermarkets stocked wonderful local butter. The lake is a 5 minute drive ( or short walk ) and has restaurants/ cafes. We were a little early in the season for evening openings, and that also applied to the Pizzeria in the village, which was actually being refurbished. There is a hotel/ restaurant in the centre of the village, but this was having some serious renovation work, and we were not entirely certain as to whether it was going to reopen as a hotel, or being converted into flats. However, Thiers is only 5 miles away if you wanted to eat out. There are numerous walks from the village, and around the lake. Do take the electric cog railway up the Puy de Dome, as the views are fantastic. Or, of course, you could always walk up!! The whole area is very picturesque and the mountain scenery is superb.

Belle découverte.

maison très lumineuse, spacieuse et confortable mais dont les espaces de rangement dans la cuisine nécessiteraient un bon inventaire avec notamment l'élimination de tous les produits périmés. Les abords extérieurs auraient également besoin d'un bon lifting (peinture, terrasse, fleurs). Accueil très cordial par Nadège

Gîte confortable et agréable, mais un peu trop cher au regard des prestations

Positif : à proximité des commerces, logement clair et spacieux dont les 2 chambres disposent de leur propre salle de bain & wc, vaisselle et meubles "de famille", emplacement au calme, place pour se garer, pas d'escaliers autres que les 3 marches du perron. A globalement bien répondu à notre besoin, surtout pour la personne très âgée qui nous accompagnait. Négatif : - rapport qualité/prix assez moyen (pas de lave-vaisselle, pas de vaisselle adaptée au micro-onde, pas de grille pain, aucun placard vide pour ranger nos victuailles que nous avons dû laisser sur le plan de travail, pas de possibilité de mettre du chauffage alors que la maison était à moins de 17° en raison d'une météo détestable au début de notre séjour et que nous étions accompagnés d'une personne très âgée, pas de livret d'accueil permettant de compenser le fait que la personne habituelle pour fournir les renseignements était elle-même en vacances si bien que par exemple le code d'accès Wifi a été trouvé par hasard sur un bout de papier au bout de 2 jours, pas vraiment de vue ce qui se comprend puisqu'il s'agit d'une maison dans le centre du village, espace pour manger dehors guère attrayant) - le prix n'est pas "tout inclus" : ne pas oublier de rajouter le forfait ménage assez cher qui est imposé et celui de l'accès wifi ; ils nous ont paru très surestimés dans la mesure où nous étions fort soigneux (3 adultes "seniors"), propres, peu présents sur la maison et que nous avons assez peu utilisé l'internet pendant la semaine.

Great vacation in Saint-Remy-Sur-Durolle

Our family had a very nice stay for eight days in the house, village and region. The nearby facilities, like bakery and grocery store, made the stay very agreeable. The area and region has a lot to offer. The apartement is spacious, at the first floor and with all the equipment needed. We would be happy to come back. There were some initial contact problems, which is reflected in the rating, but as soon as we had contact, it all worked out in the very best way.

Très bon séjour à St Rémy sur Durolle

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. La maison est très agréable, nous avons profité tous les jours de la terrasse extérieure, la cuisine bien équipée et une bonne literie. Maison bien située dans le village, à 2 pas de la boulangerie (très bonnes tartes), de la supérette, du marché du dimanche, et de la pizzeria que nous recommandons! Plan d'eau et piscine ont été très appréciés des enfants. Nous avons également suivi les circuits violets, randonnées de 4 à 7 km parfaitement adaptées avec des enfants. Très bons contacts avec la propriétaire et avec Nadège sur place!

un séjour très agréable

Bel appartement dans une jolie maison, bien équipée, avec deux salles de bains (une rareté) et un petit espace à l'extérieur avec table et chaises, dans un joli village avec pas mal de magasins (boulangerie-patisserie, boucherie, bureau de tabac, supermarché, pharmacie et restos (le Pizzaiole, par ex) tout près de la sortie de l'autoroute, donc très pratique pour rejoindre Vichy, Clermont, Le parc de Vulcania, le Puys de Dome….et Thiers qui est à peu de Km et où nous conseillons de visiter le Musée de la Coutellerie. Un gros merci a Nadège (et à sa famille) très gentille et toujours disponible! Je conseille cette propriété.
