Highlights
Wood stoveBreathtaking viewsModern amenitiesExposed beamsSofa bed
Step into a piece of history at Ancienne École, a 19th-century schoolhouse lovingly restored and transformed into an enchanting retreat. Original architectural features—exposed beams, stone walls, and large windows—blend harmoniously with modern comfort to create a space that is both authentic and luxurious.
The open living space revolves around a traditional wood stove, perfect for cozy evenings after a day of exploring the Livradois-Forez. Wake up to panoramic views of the rolling countryside, enjoy your morning coffee on the private terrace, and let the peaceful rhythm of village life wash over you.
Ideal for couples seeking romance or friends wanting a quiet getaway, Ancienne École offers the perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary amenities.
