Le petit Manoa

Looking to disconnect without sacrificing comfort? Welcome to Le Petit Manoa, your cozy cottage in Corveissiat, nestled in the heart of unspoiled nature, ideal for a relaxing getaway filled with outdoor activities. Le Petit Manoa offers the perfect balance between nature, comfort, and freedom. A warm and welcoming little holiday home in the Ain region, perfect for recharging your batteries… or embarking on an adventure. So, will it be a relaxing weekend or an active holiday? Located on the first floor of a fully renovated house on an unfenced property, right next to a working dairy farm and poultry yard, this cottage for four people has been designed to offer you a truly peaceful stay. Access is via a quiet metal staircase at the rear, leading to a small, sheltered, south-facing terrace—perfect for starting your day off right, away from prying eyes… except perhaps for the peacock from the neighboring farm who sometimes stops by to say hello to the holidaymakers! Inside, you'll discover a modern and soothing atmosphere: wooden floors, natural hues, touches of seafoam green… a contemporary décor that appeals to couples on a getaway as well as families or friends on a weekend break. The living area revolves around a fully equipped kitchen opening onto the living room with a sofa bed. A comfortable bedroom, a practical shower room, and a separate toilet complete this functional haven. As for activities, it's hard to get bored! Whether you prefer a more relaxed pace or a more active lifestyle, the region is brimming with possibilities. From the cottage, lace up your sneakers and set off to explore a variety of trails, accessible to all, immersing yourself in unspoiled nature, rich in flora and fauna. On sunny days, treat yourself to a refreshing break by visiting the Corveissiat cave and valley, or venture further afield to the impressive Cerdon Caves, a truly fascinating site. For the more athletic, hop on your bikes! Choose between a leisurely bike ride or a mountain bike excursion. And why not a short motorcycle ride on scenic roads? The gîte is perfectly equipped to accommodate cyclists and can house up to four motorcycles. Two private parking spaces are also available. And for food lovers? The region is also an invitation to explore. Indulge in local specialties such as Bresse chicken in cream sauce, quenelles with Nantua sauce, frogs' legs, or the famous Comté cheese. For an authentic experience, visit the Fruitières (Villereversure, Aromas, Arinthod, etc.) and discover the secrets of making this iconic cheese. For pasta lovers: the owner is an expert! She makes it herself. Don't hesitate to ask for a demonstration if you're there on a day when she's making it; otherwise, you can find her at the Corveissiat market every Friday afternoon with about ten other food vendors, or at the large market in Bourg-en-Bresse every Saturday morning. Your accommodation: access to the gîte is via a metal staircase. Bright living area with an open-plan kitchen, dining area, and lounge (sofa bed for two), a bedroom with two single beds (80x200cm) that can be joined with a goose-down mattress topper, a shower room, and a separate toilet. A private covered terrace is included. Two private parking spaces and a secure garage for up to four motorcycles and bicycles are available.
