Comfortable home in a beautiful setting

My family and I just returned from an absolutely wonderful stay at Ferme de Pontaly! Cécile and Alexandre are fantastic hosts - always available to answer all of your questions and making sure you are always comfortable. We live in a busy suburb of Washington DC and it was nice to get away and relax in the French countryside. We enjoyed waking up every morning to the sound of chickens and horses. We also enjoyed our farm tour with Cécile, and talking with her about their organic farming practices, and learning about the history of the land since they are very near Versailles. The cottage is also just a short distance away from train stations that will take you right into Paris for sightseeing. The cottage itself is just as described in the listing - clean and comfortable - with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. My daughter is an equestrian and she was able to book a ride in the countryside with the equestrian center next door. Otherwise, there are miles of hiking trails around the property for lovely evening or morning walks. We highly recommend booking a stay here!

Wonderful farm-stay experience super close to Paris!

The Ferme de Pontaly is a lovely property very close to Paris with miles of walking/running/biking trails along the picturesque fields and pastures. Children will love visiting the horses, sheep, goats and chickens. The "cottage" is a sweet, small, clean and functional abode, perfect for a family of four. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and there is a BBQ outback for grilling. The large garden, which centers around two apple trees, has views of the horse pastures and is a perfect spot for outdoor meals. Cécile and Alexandre are great hosts and were readily available when we needed advice or had questions. We recommend a carriage ride with Johan and the fresh eggs from the farm! We hope to come back soon.

It was amazing Cecile spoke perfect English was the pe

I really enjoyed my stay at this cottage. Cécile was the perfect host. The cottage was bigger Then expected and extremely clean the beds were comfortable the yard was huge and most of all the atmosphere was stunning it was a perfect week in Bailey so close to Versailles and I can’t thank Cecile enough for providing the perfect vacation for us four ladies from Florida thank you so much. Cécile also let us use her private space to have a fantastic French cooking class. We asked her to try to find us a teacher to learn the art of French cooking and she did the research and organized the class. It was the highlight of our week. Caroline the teacher chef was amazing and it truly was rewarding. Versailles was such a beautiful city with so much history. I’ll never forget this wonderful stay at Cécile ruche and Alex ruche cottage.

Perfectly charming

The owners/hosts were welcoming and helpful. It is clear they have a passion for their home and farm. The cottage is restored with a clean simple look and had all we needed in the kitchen. The location was perfect for our daytrips to the beautiful towns of Giverney, Versailles and Chartres. The farm is interesting with horses, chickens and goats. Fun for young and old.

Home with character in beautiful setting

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was super clean and Cecile was very friendly and helpful. The home had a washer and dryer which was very useful. Our children enjoyed walking around and looking at the horses and goats. We would definitely recommend this rental.
