About Les Deux Abbesses
Lava from volcanoes sculpted the magnificent landscapes of the Midi de l Auvergne. An improbable fairytale hotel sits in this still wild setting. The heart of this Auvergne lodge- divided up into a dozen rooms- or rather small-restored cottages- is the little 12th century castle which sits above the village perched on a basalt spur- nestled between two rivers. Once you cross the threshold of the austere basalt walls- the dreamlike ambience created in each cottage beckons you to a wonderland. La Grange and its canopy made from birch trunks- straight out of an imaginary forest- or La Cabane with its bathroom carved from lava. With a disarming simplicity- this place with the fragrance of childhood evokes a natural emotion made just for two. The property is closed for business during the year over the following dates November 11 2009-April 2 2010.
The property is located 25mi W of LPY-Le Puy en Velay. Spectacular landscapes surround the craddle of romanesque art.
