About this property
Whole house 2 self-contained apartments 5 beds 5 parking 3 lakes Vallée de Joux
Attractive renovated farmhouse with 2 self-contained units. The first floor and 1st floor total 140 m², including 4 bedrooms for up to 8 people, with 5 beds and central heating. There is free private parking for 5 to 7 cars in front of the house, which has a large 450m2 garden equipped with a barbecue, a table with 2 benches, a duo swing, garden furniture with cushions and a compost bin.
This rental is the "Maison de l'inventeur des Grottes de Vallorbe", discovered in 1964 by Christian Giurumello, known as "Mello", a native of Geneva who became "Combier" (the name of the valley's inhabitants) until his death in the summer of 2020.
His beautiful large family farmhouse, which he has completely transformed since acquiring it in 1972 and which has just been renovated from 2022-2023-2024.
Forget your worries in this spacious, quiet accommodation. Like all the old houses, thanks to its thick walls, the coolness of the interior summer is an undeniable plus.
Dating from 1903, this beautiful family-run farmhouse in the Vaud region boasts spacious rooms with beamed ceilings and a unique, authentic charm, typical of old buildings with a soul and a real cachet; a guaranteed change of scenery.
Electrosensitive guests welcome, measured with the electromagnetic pollution and wave detector (see photos).
In this small village in Switzerland's Vallée de Joux, at an altitude of 1000 m at altitude, pure air and fresh water are guaranteed. Recharge your batteries with the greenery on all sides and the occasional sound of cowbells grazing nearby.
From breakfast onwards, take advantage of this beautiful garden space for an aperitif or barbecue. In the afternoon
nap, read a book or simply relax.
We have a partnership with the Vallée de Joux Tourist Office, enabling you to benefit from a "VALPASS", to take advantage of free transport and various benefits, sports discounts, the boat "Le Caprice" on Lac de Joux, museums, caves, Juraparc, restaurants etc. to discover on the Vallée de Joux Tourist Office website.
Le Séchey" is a charming, peaceful little village set in a multi-faceted screen of greenery, where every day and every season is a delight to discover. Lac Ter is a lovely walk through the village.
Three superb lakes... Lac de Joux, Lac Brenet, Lac Ter at Séchey:
Lac Brenet, known as the "little brother" of Lac de Joux, and its educational trail, are a popular destination for families. Wild and soothing, it's just a 2-minute drive or 15-minute walk away, and Lac de Joux, the jewel of the Vallée, opens its heart to you.
The train station is 550 m Supermarket 8 km away. Post office 3 km away. Lake at 2 km 5 and French border at 17 km Mouthe/Doubs. Many activities such as walking, cycling, horse riding, swimming, skiing, skating on the lake, swimming pool, canoeing and much more will delight you.
On your way to Vallorbe, visit the wolves and bison at the "JuraParc", with its welcoming restaurant.
Encounter wild animals such as roe deer and ibex, as well as doe, stag, hare, squirrel and ermine, whether behind a tree or crossing your path...
Just a few kilometers away, the magnificent Vallorbe caves, with one of the most beautiful underground rivers in Europe. An unforgettable experience. Personal website of the late Christian Mello: Grottes de Vallorbe www.grottesdevallorbe.com
