Les Vagabonds du Mont — Hotel in Grenoble

Our stay at Vagabonds du Mond was incredible and exceeded all expectations. We stayed Friday to Sunday in the middle of a tour of France. After spending time in some Alpine cities, our stay in Chichilliane was a relaxing antidote to the hustle and bustle of the city.

We were met by Danielle, who gave us a wonderfully warm welcome.

The food was excellent - homemade, local, informal and very enjoyable. The owners are clearly proud of their region and its produce, and it really showed. The fresh bread, local yoghurts and honey at breakfast were delicious, as were the local beers and biodynamic wines. The picnic that was prepared for our hike around Mont Aiguille was superb - tasty sandwiches, a pasta salad, fruit and a soft drink.

The property itself was charming and spacious. The courtyard was a highlight - a great spot for reading, relaxing and enjoying the evening meals (there was the option to eat inside in bad/cold weather, but this wasn't needed).

The rooms were well equipped, if a little dated - but this wasn't an issue, and only added to the charm. It really did feel as though we were escaping to better times gone by!

If you're looking for a relaxing escape, in a quiet village, with nothing to do but take in the incredible nature... look no further.

Thank you for a wonderful stay, and we wish you every success....

We were pleasantly surprised at how much charm the village and this gite offered. The house is cozy and spacious, with a lovely past history, and our hosts were very accommodating (we arrived late at night and they stayed up for us). Our rooms were clean, furnished with armchairs and tea service for relaxing, an ensuite bathroom with (in our case) a bath. One of our rooms overlooked the village and the other was more intimate. A big common room / breakfast room was delightful with its many books and board games. The interior courtyard gives directly onto the hamlet's main road, so quite easy to go out for a stroll and enjoy the day or night skies. Highlights: delicious breakfast with fresh yogurt and milk from the local laiterie and brioche from a passionate local baker (where we also got picnic supplies). We took up our hosts' recommendation to reserve a table for dinner at a nearby town, since the gite doesn't do dinners--it was a ten minute drive and the meal was fresh and good. Overall, we'd recommend the Vagabonds and we're planning...
