About this property

In an exceptional setting, 17km from Paris, restored farmhouse of a château

UNIQUE, 35 minutes from Paris! In the middle of a 3.5-hectare condominium, you can enjoy part of the former stables of the Château du Piple. Dating from the 18th century, the castle and its outbuildings form a unique ensemble listed as a historic monument.
Surrounded by 110 hectares of woodland, you might even encounter deer! Paris is only 35 minutes away via the RER A, and the RER station is a 12-minute walk from the condominium.

The house is spacious and comfortable, ideal for a stay with family or friends. The kitchen and living room can comfortably accommodate 10 people, allowing everyone to find their own tranquility and enjoy the surroundings and amenities. The living room/kitchen area measures 80 m².
In ​​the evening, owls hoot, and at night, there's not a sound. Perfect for restful nights.
In winter, the house is warm and cozy. In summer, it's radiant and feels like a vacation home, open and welcoming.
The kitchen is well-equipped and houses a period piece of furniture used to store riding equipment.
The living room, opening onto the kitchen, is spacious and bright. To make your winter evenings even more cozy, there's a wood-burning stove. And if you're a musician, you might be able to get the house dancing by playing the piano.
On the ground floor, you'll find a gym and relaxation room, as well as a bathroom and toilet where you can exercise, practice yoga, play ping-pong, or take a sauna.
Upstairs, there's a library, four large bedrooms (one separated from the landing by curtains), a large bathroom with a toilet, bathtub, and shower, and an office area.

Take a stroll in the park or the surrounding forests, visit the Caillebotte house, do your grocery shopping in the village of Sucy, and of course, enjoy Paris and reach Disneyland in 40 minutes.
If you're coming by car, a parking space is reserved inside the building, and there are spaces outside on the private driveway that leads to the building!

Apart from the parking spaces, I live in the house, and when I leave it for you, I also leave "Chaussette" and "Mowgli," two adorable cats who are independent thanks to a cat flap and a kibble dispenser.

The house and the building have a lot of charm, especially thanks to their old-world character; you won't find yourself in a modern or sterile home.

You're welcome!

Lovely family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely farmhouse. The grounds are beautiful, the people are friendly and there are lots of woods and nature to explore!! The owner Gilles is very easy to communicate with and answers your texts very quickly. The kitchen was fantastic for all of the family meals - lots of room and an excellent oversized oven and gas range. The glass fireplace is very easy to use and is welcoming and cozy. The fourth bedroom is a media room/bedroom with a curtain that you draw - good for visitors for a night or two. This house met our needs for a family holiday and would highly recommend it!

Terrible experience..deceptive photos do not book.

The property, located at Boissy-Saint-Léger, exhibited several undisclosed issues: - **Electrical Safety Concerns**: Damaged and exposed wiring across various sockets, lights, and switches posed immediate danger. - **Sauna Hazard**: An exposed electronic panel within the sauna area. - **Inadequate Lighting**: Several non-functional light fixtures. - **Plumbing Issues**: Persistent leaks from radiators causing water damage, with an expectation for guests to manage the situation. - **Health Risks**: Extensive water damage leading to mold and dampness on walls and windowsills. - **Misleading Location**: The property's proximity to a chateau was misrepresented in the listing. - **Unexpected Pet Care**: Presence of cats on the premises with an implied responsibility for guests to care for them. These conditions not only misrepresented the rental but also posed significant health and safety risks. The presence of mould and faulty electrical systems severely compromised our accommodation experience and resulted in us being unable to stay at the property and having to book alternative accommodation at additional cost. The owner purported to provide a refund but as of yet we have not received a penny back. Zero support from Vrbo in procuring the refund either and they only helped us with alternative accommodation for 2nights for the remaining nights we had to pay out of our own pocket. Needless to say we will not be booking with Vrbo ever again.

Disappointing, inaccurate listing

The listing does not accurately describe the property. It highlights that there are 4 bedrooms on the property. This is not true. The fourth bedroom is a bed behind curtains that do not properly close and offers no privacy. Upon arrival, we were informed that there are 2 cats on the property that we were expected to feed. There were not just 2; we had at least 5 cats coming in and out of the house. With a baby present, this was extremely concerning. We had security concerns with doors not locking, it wasn't until day 3 after messaging the host that we got a key to an exterior door - the key that was with his neighbour. Other issues we experienced included: - Dirty property - Personal items all over the house, we were unable to store our items - One bed is a mattress on pallets - if you have any mobility issues you won't be able to get in and out of the bed. - Broken windows with nails protruding - Sauna not working - Fitness Centre is not a gym When we raised these concerns with Gilles, he became very rude and aggressive. His communication prior to check in was spectacular, so it was a real shame to hear that he believed we were 'looking for problems'. Overall, very disappointed. We would not recommend staying here for any larger groups. For the price we paid (close to £1,000 a night), we expected a LOT more. The location of the property is, however, beautiful. It does unfortunately get very hot, and we had a lot of issues with mosquitos.
