Family Adventure Base — Hike, Play & Discover

Light-filled and airy, Maison Marthe is your family base for discovering the Livradois-Forez, with all the space you need to breathe. After a day exploring mountains, forests, and streams, return to soft sofas and shared meals. Roomy for six, full of heart. Authentic, spacious, and effortlessly welcoming—from the first pot of coffee to the final “goodnight.”Comfy bedrooms, a kitchen for feeding a crowd, and that unmistakable feeling of home: bright, robust, and brilliantly functional. The space Morning Coffee From The Balcony Wake up fully refreshed after a deep sleep in one of the three beautifully furnished bedrooms. Whether you claimed the spacious king suite (160cm), the cozy double (140cm), or the fun twin room (two 100cm beds) perfect for the kids or friends, the absolute quiet of the French countryside guarantees a restorative night. Slip out of bed and step straight onto the second-floor balcony. Breathe in the crisp, fresh Auvergne air and sip your hot morning coffee as you gaze out over the mesmerizing rural landscape, watching the historic village slowly wake up around you. Breakfast in the Sunlit Heart of the Home Wander downstairs into the spectacular open-concept living space. You will immediately feel the soul of this stone-built home—gorgeous traditional tiled floors and massive exposed beams meet towering windows that flood the entire space with brilliant morning light. Gather the whole family in the fully equipped kitchen. Work your culinary magic on the spacious wooden countertops, utilizing the modern stove and oven to whip up a feast. Pass fresh pastries, hot coffee, and a quick baby bottle over the inviting kitchen counter. (Traveling with a little one is effortless here, with a high chair and a folding cot ready and waiting for you). Sit together at the dining table for eight, plot out your hiking routes, and get ready for a day of adventure in the Parc Naturel Régional Livradois-Forez. Afternoon Inspiration and Play If you need to check in with the real world, retreat to the private upper-floor office. Settle into the desk chair and let the spectacular views inspire you—we bet you have never answered emails with a backdrop quite like this! Alternatively, utilize the convenient second desk tucked right into the corner of the twin bedroom for added peace and quiet. While you wrap up work, the rest of the group can relax in the sun-drenched living room. Pull a board game from the collection, grab a good book, and lose yourselves in an easy, tech-free afternoon together. Evening Feasts and Fireside Stories After a long, satisfying day exploring the local trails, return to the true heartbeat of the home. As the evening cools down, light a crackling fire in the wood-burning stove and let the warmth fill the room. The kitchen is perfectly designed for a collaborative cooking experience. Pop open a bottle of wine, pull fresh local ingredients from the large refrigerator, and prepare a gourmet three-course dinner together. Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the dishwasher, leaving you more time to focus on what matters: each other. Movie Nights and Restful Retreats Wind down the day by sinking into the deep, comfortable sofas. Pull the plush blankets over your laps, fire up the massive 60-inch HDTV, and cast your favorite family movie via Chromecast, Netflix, or Amazon Prime. When eyelids start getting heavy, head to the soothing full bathroom. Wash away the day with a relaxing soak in the bathtub or a hot shower (complete with complimentary essential toiletries and fluffy towels), while the convenient additional half-bath ensures no one is ever waiting in line. Finally, retreat to your quiet bedrooms, pull up the soft linens, and drift off to sleep, ready to create more unforgettable memories tomorrow.
