    It was great that the hostess was flexible to allow as an exception on the check-in time at around 3pm. Their normal check-in time is 5pm which is quite unusual and late. The chateau is really a small heritage house with a tower. It was owned...

We bought our house on a whim but with the idea of opening a bed and breakfast. After several years of work, the project was born. Our house dates from the end of the Middle Ages, it is an old winegrower's house.
I like to receive and share pleasant moments with my friends, my family and my guests. I am very active, in addition to my bed and breakfast, I am very involved in my community (town councillor, administrator of the tourist office).
Désertines is a small, quiet town 4.5km from the historic centre of Montluçon. You can go hiking in Désertines and also along the Cher river. The medieval city of Montluçon is very nice to visit.
