WELCOME TO THE "GÎTE DES SILVES"!

It's 10 minutes from the ski slopes (two nearby resorts: Montclar les Deux Vallées and Chabanon, with a total of nearly 100 km of slopes) and 15 minutes from Lake Serre-Ponçon (water sports and swimming). The house boasts panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and a large private garden with two furnished terraces.

The house can accommodate up to 12 people and includes:

- 2 bedrooms with a 160x200cm double bed;

- two terraces with panoramic views and a barbecue area.
- a large garden with panoramic mountain views.

The small medieval town of Seyne-les-Alpes, offering all amenities, is located 3 km away. The house is ideal for two families or a group of friends, as well as for a smaller group. The rental price varies depending on the season and the number of occupants.

Très beau gite très bien équipé

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce gîte très spacieux et hyper bien équipé. L'accueil était très sympa malgré le fait que nous avons été un peu en retard par rapport à ce que nous avions annoncé. Nous revenions, après 20ans, dans la région que nous avions fréquenté pendant de longues années pour nos vacances. Que de bons souvenirs!

Très beau gîte.

Gite très spacieux, très bien équipé, bien décoré dans le style montagnard. Petit bémol la table de la salle à manger trop près du mur et manque une télé dans la salle à manger, cuisine.

Chalet magique idéal pour un grand groupe

Impeccable! Le chalet est extrêmement propre, à faire pâlir de jalousie bien des hôtels. Il est décoré de façon raffinée, du bon goût et de la chaleur dans les moindres détails, surequipe, il n'y manque rien! Nous avons tout adoré, de la grande table pour manger tous ensemble, aux moments passés au coin du feu, aux chambres double permettant au couple d'avoir leur espace. Merci :)

Superbe maison à la montagne

Magnifique maison, spacieuse, bien aménagée et équipée. Nous avons passé un charmant weekend prolongé, en famille. La maison est adaptée à tous les âges. La localisation est très agréable, l'espace autour de la maison, la vue, la proximité de Seyne et des stations. L'endroit doit être aussi très agréable en été !

Séjour inoubliable en Haute-Provence

Nous avons loué une semaine fin février 2016 le gîte des Silves, location décidée depuis plusieurs mois. Ancienne ferme rénovée et décorée avec goût par les propriétaires, qui ont mis en valeur leur patrimoine pour le rendre attrayant : le bois omniprésent a conservé toute sa place. Le gîte est très confortable, impeccable et bien chauffé pour 8 personnes avec la possibilité d'accueillir 5 à 6 personnes de plus notamment dans la mezzanine au dessus de la vaste pièce à vivre. Le grand luxe : vue sur la montagne alentour, salon autour de la cheminée, quatre chambres, deux salles de bains, deux toilettes ! L'équipement est récent et adapté pour un long séjour. La situation du gîte près d'un village est idéale pour visiter la région en toutes saisons. Bref, nous recommandons chaudement ce lieu.
