About this house rental

Christiane and Roland welcome you to their cottage for 4 to 6 people, in the countryside with a breathtaking view of the Chartreuse mountains.
The gîte "Le balcon de Villette" is ideal for a stay with family or friends.
In summer, you can hike the trails of the Chartreuse regional park, swim in the lakes of Aiguebelette and Paladru, in the swimming pools (Saint-Laurent-du-Pont, Saint-Pierre de Chartreuse) or in the pools of 1600 and 800m2 (ecological swimming, Rivier'Alp, Les-Echelles). A large terrace and a balcony will allow you to spend pleasant moments outside.
In winter, you can practice alpine skiing (Saint-Pierre de Chartreuse, Saint Hugues ...), cross-country skiing (La Ruchère, Saint-Hugues, Desert d'Entremont ...) or snowshoeing.
In all seasons, you can visit the cellars of the Grande Chartreuse (Voiron), the museums of the big neighboring cities (Grenoble, Chambéry, Voiron) and take advantage of the markets (Saint-Laurent-du-Pont, Voiron ...)
We will be happy to share with you our love of the Chartreuse, our knowledge of many hikes and the pleasure of meeting new people!

Everything was fantastic.

Beautiful view. Very peaceful couple of days. The house is very clean and has everything you need for a stay with family. Christiane and Roland were very welcoming and know very well the region.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2024
The apartment is clean, comfortable, well equipped and with super views of the mountains. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. You need a car to get out and about and the apartment is a few minutes drive to the nearest town with a large supermarket. There is lots of nice walks to do in the area. The apartment is just above a road but it is not a main road and quiet at night. Would happily visit again.

Sometimes, a photo and a description of a vacation rental do not represent the actual circumstances that will be found upon arrival. The photos and descriptions provided by the hosts of Le Balcon de Villette represent exactly what you will experience during your stay. In fact, our expectations were exceeded! The views are stunning! The rooms (bathroom, bedrooms, living and dining rooms and kitchen) are impeccably clean and well furnished with every comfort and utensil that you might need. I think that the kitchen was even better equipped than our own at home - with great appliances and gadgets that American kitchens do not always have. The beds were exceptionally comfortable with a variety of blankets to choose from. Heavy curtains made sleeping in total darkness a treat. The silence at night (and during the day) were soothing after our previous stays in larger cities in France. The owners, Christiane and Roland, who live downstairs, were always ready to recommend a hike, give directions, answer all our questions. This was easily the best vacation rental we have found in all our travels to France! We only had four nights to spend here, but we will be sure to book a longer stay next time. There are so may hikes to do, many villages to visit, and much history to absorb.
