4.0 / 10.0
Our first negative experience on a trip abroad. Was informed of additional costs for linen and cleaning long after booking and payments were made. No coffee, no soap or shampoo, Mice droppings and visuals, leaky roof and the Pillows were well, more like a seat cushion. Certainly not money well-spent.
10.0 / 10.0
We wanted a place close to Lyon to use as a starting point for a tour of the Massif Central. La Rafiliere fit the bill perfectly. The countryside in April was gorgeous and the house was clean and comfortable. Our only disappointment was not meeting the donkeys!

Just what we had hoped for. Thank you

Perfect location for enjoying a holiday in a comfortable house with beautiful surroundings, nearby farm animals, good walks and interesting villages (with lots of entertainment like festivals, exhibitions, cinemas, cafés etc.). Not to forget the big city on the doorstep. Frédéric is a very friendly host.

Our family of 5 and small dog truly enjoyed our stay in this updated country home. Every detail has been thought of to make the stay memorable. Frederic was very helpful and accommodating even though we spoke no French. The nearby city of Saint Martin en Haut had plenty to do for a day and 1/2 before exploring Lyon about 30 minutes away. We walked to the medieval city of Rochefort and enjoyed two restaurants with wonderful French cuisine. We highly recommend this property and the area for a unique look into the country life. Amazing vistas also.

This is a very nice and cozy apartment in a restored farmhouse. One master bedroom (queen) and one secondary bedroom (twin/single bunkbed) upstairs, along with a bathroom and toilet. Downstairs is the sitting room and small kitchen. Out the windows you have a very pastoral view of farmhouses and fields across the valley.
I believe the owner sometimes stays in the main section of the house, although he was away during my visit. The apartment has its own entry door, and is suitably separated from the rest of the house for privacy, should someone else be there. Internet access in the house is quite good.
It can be tricky to find the place at first - turn off the main road (D311) at the sign for la Rafiliere. It is a very narrow and steep driveway. When it splits about 100m up, take the left (upper) road. You will make a sharp switchback turn just before the first house you encounter, and then keep going up a few hundred meters to your destination, on the left (look for the old VW van next to the house).
Make sure to visit the ruins of the old church and walled compound at Rochefort - you can easily walk there by taking a left onto the driveway when you walk out of the house.
Non-French speakers, be aware that basically nobody in the local villages speaks English, although they are very nice and will accommodate as best they can. Know some basic phrases, and keep a positive attitude! You can find basic supermarkets with food and such in the surrounding villages. I had a particularly nice time and meal at "La Bonne Table" in Thurins.
All in all, this is a quiet and peaceful place for that great French countryside escape!
