The spirit of the place

Back to basics

Ostalhon is a small stone house in the heart of Chomelix, a medieval village in Haute-Loire. No WiFi, no television — just you, nature, and the trails opening up right outside the door.

A place to reconnect. Put down the screens.
Listen to the silence of the stones and the wind on the ridges.

A gîte in Auvergne designed for 2 to 3 people seeking disconnection and coolness — a hiking trail right at the door, secure storage for motorbikes and bikes (bikers welcome), natural coolness from the stone walls.

The living-room sofa also converts into an 80×200 bed for a 3rd sleeping space.

"A place out of time, where you truly recharge."
