le Gîte de la Basse Porte

Charming authentic traditional farmhouse of character dating from the 19th century, backed by old stables, both restored with great care, perched "on a balcony" on a south-east facing hillside, on the edge of a lane, a stone's throw from the center of a picturesque little shopping village nestled around a large central square with old-world charm. Tranquility in the heart of the preserved Morvan countryside, nestled on the slopes of the famous Mont-Beuvray, belvedere culminating at 821m offering an extraordinary view (as far as Mont-Blanc!), occupied at its summit by the renowned "oppidum" of Bibracte, an ancient fortified Gallic city, one of the best preserved with its ramparts & districts extending over 200 ha (labeled "Grand Site de France"). Perched on an exposed plateau, in the heart of a remarkable protected site (ZNIEFF & "Natura 2000"), adjoining the verdant Méchet valley & the Haut Folin, the highest point in Burgundy (901m), the village benefits from a magnificent rural & natural setting preserved in gentle mountains. Very comfortable gîte. Warm country character with contemporary accents enhanced by the soul of an old country house (elegant stone fireplace mantel, beams, stone walls with manger & hay rack, etc.). Lots of charm. Cozy & cozy. Large panoramic balcony-terrace exposed opening onto a pleasant enclosed garden. Unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
