Restored 18th-century farmhouse · Sleeps 12
The Spirit of the Place
Nestled in the heart of the Châtaigneraie Cantalienne, between Maurs and Calvinet, Gîte Angèle reveals the authentic soul of a beautifully restored farmhouse.
173 m² of living space at Le Valat in Sénezergues, breathtaking panoramas, and the absolute tranquillity that only Cantal can offer. Here, time stands still for what truly matters.
Angèle was a woman of character, deeply rooted in this Cantal land. Every morning, she walked to the market in Calvinet, rain or shine. She tended her garden with inexhaustible energy, crossing the decades with a courage and joie de vivre that left a mark on everyone who knew her.
This house is hers.
Today, her granddaughter Marie carries on this legacy. And fate decreed that her own granddaughter should also bear the name Angèle — just as lively and luminous as her great-great-grandmother. Our wish is simple: that you feel as much at home here as the generations who came before, in renewed comfort and a preserved environment.

A true belvedere overlooking the Cantal countryside. Bathed in light, it offers stunning 180° views over the wooded valleys of the Châtaigneraie. Billiards, board games and a reading corner for family evenings.

The beating heart of the house. Around the traditional Auvergne fireplace — the cantou — evenings linger in a warm and cosy atmosphere. The wood stove heats the room for autumn and winter stays.

Four distinct worlds for restful nights. From the romance of the master suite to the adventurous spirit of the dormitory with its teepee. Premium bedding, sheets and towels provided.

A large 12-seat table under the pergola. Share memorable meals outdoors, lulled by the song of cicadas and the gentle Cantal evening. Zero light pollution — the starry sky is a show in itself.

A private oasis of freshness, secured and fenced, in a green setting with views over the hills. Swim under Cantal's intense blue sky or beneath the Milky Way.

Our vegetable garden invites you to pick fresh herbs, tomatoes and seasonal vegetables for your meals. A compost bin is provided — here, we care for the earth just as Angèle did.

Love at first sight for this gîte! It has everything you need, it's remarkable. We even got potatoes and onions from the garden. The private pool is a real bonus.
