Welcome to Le Couret Ciel D'Or, Massif Central, France.
Le Couret Ciel D’Or, located in the beautiful Puy de Dome area of
France, offers high quality villa, holiday and short break
accommodation with pool and spa facilities in this hidden part of
France. We love to organise and cater for individual special events,
conferences, weddings and often host personal and spiritual development
courses. B+B, full and half board are also available and it
is our speciality and delight to provide options for vegetarians, vegans
and special diets.
This
wonderful property, nestled into the hillside, is set in a relatively unknown area of
central France yet offers a wealth of sights and activities. The Auvergne is
known for its volcanic mountain ranges including the Sancy range, Puy-de-Dome
and the Chaine de Puys, which provide
the source for Volvic mineral water. It is a lush area which is ideal for those still seeking a
truly traditional part of France where time seems to have stood still
and where nature is at its' heart.
Le
Couret Ciel D'Or has been equipped to a high standard with warm fabrics and
comfortable living throughout. Each room is decorated to a high
standard, with en-suite bathrooms, private patios and countryside views. There is something for everyone,
including a
conservatory style indoor pool, snooker, tennis, and spa facilities.
You can go walking in the old volcanic hills or deep valley gorges that
surround the property, or simply a take a short ride to the nearby Roman
bridge at Pont de Menat and picnic by the river, or to St Eloy to visit the
lake.
Le
Couret Ciel D'Or is available all year and is ideal for summer vacations & winter
retreats. It is also 1 hour away from Mont Dore and the Sancy range of mountains where
there is winter skiing. Clermont Ferrand station and airport is 45mins away, St
Etienne and Limoges airports are 2.5hrs, and Lyon 3 hours.
"The peaks of ancient
volcanoes crested through the mist above, mossy green and mysterious, as
we entered the sweeping valley. The cows poked their heads with
casual interest over the old stone walls and it felt like we'd been
transported to a slower, gentler age. This is the Auvergne region, which
boasts the Puys Chain, the largest group of volcanoes in Europe.
In between the now grassy tops are hidden lakes, forests and gorges,
medieval villages and castles.
As we drove along,
watching red squirrels dance through the trees I felt utterly relaxed.
No wonder the French have kept the Auvergne to themselves!"
