500 year old stone cottage with sweeping river views, and yet at the heart of a beautiful unspoilt village, off the beaten tourist track. The Quartier du Vieux Carré is the oldest part of Chantelle and has been renovated and brought back to its former beauty in the last 15 years.
The whole village now has fibre optic, making our cottages perfect for Working from Home with high-speed internet access, which many of our guests have done over the years.

La Maison de Gabriel nestles in the heart of Chantelle’s historic village, perched on the edge of a gorge that winds its way down to the tranquil Bouble River. Our commitment to preserving heritage shines through in every detail: majestic oak beams, a harmonious blend of stone and chalked walls, and handcrafted oak doors evoke a sense of timeless elegance.
Step outside, and you’ll discover a charming garden and an enchanting terrace, 20 meters above the river gorge. Here, as the sun dips below the horizon, indulge in sunset aperitifs while gazing upon the ancient ducal castle—now gracefully transformed into a Benedictine monastery.
And there’s more: fiber optic connectivity weaves through the entire village, making our cottages an ideal haven for remote work.
