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.

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.

From the Cox family, We had a wonderful stay at the Ferme de Pentaly and Cecile was extremely welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived (late). The gite was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed as a family and the location was very very helpful hosts and a monderful location with clean and spacious. Cecile put herself out to meet our every need and we loved being on the farm. Being close to a number of rail stations with fast train to Gare Monpanasse was ideal. We would have no hesitation on recommending this holiday place.

Full of character
We loved staying at this property. It was very comfortable, clean, modern, nicely decorated and well-equipped. Cêcile is a fabulous host - very helpful and welcoming and speaks excellent English. It was lovely to escape to the tranquility of the countryside as well as having easy access to Paris. A hire car is very useful but not essential if you are a cyclist. We did not realise that in August many Parisians are on holiday and this is when maintenance is done on the train lines so there were closures to alot of the lines and stations. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this property, great for kids, families, couples.

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.

Unique Expereince not far from LeChesnay (Versailles)
We stayed at this converted cottage because it offered parking for more than one vehicle and was in the countryside. We were very happy with our stay. It was wonderfully quiet and comfortable. Cecile was a wonderful host and took time to take us on a tour of the farm. It was so nice to get away from the traffic and noise of the cities in the evening. Le Chesnay is home to the new Paris Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. The most enjoyable and interesting part of our trip.

Charming farm cottage makes you feel a world away, but only 10 mins from Château de Versailles!
Very quaint setting with friendly host. Two bedrooms and bathrooms with a living room and kitchen and laundry machines! Perfect for 4-5 travelers. My wife and I traveled with another couple and it was perfect set up. It had privacy available but also a common area. Loved the experience and we even received a jar of honey collected from the farm we stayed at! It really felt like you were an hour out into the countryside but only a 10 min drive to Versailles. I would recommend it to all my friends and family!

Fantastic all around
I cannot say enough nice things about this property. The owners were fantastic and the house was charming, clean, and perfect for my family of 5 and my sister in law. Accessibility to Versailles and Paris were easy to reach with help from the owners. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to stay around Paris without all the headaches of staying in the middle of a city.

Superb country experience.
This property is first class. The owners have gone to extremes to make this a 5 star farm experience. Easy bike ride to Versailles. Walk in to Noisy le Roi and Bailly and not far from St Germain. This is a great location for those wanting a more relaxed escape yet providing easy access to the sites, restaurants, open countryside and a different aspect of French life. The apartment has all the facilities you would need for a long stay including coffee making, washing machine, dishwasher, large lounge room, plenty of parking, privacy and quality finishes. Don't be put off by the remote location as it less than a 10 minute walk to Noisy le Roi and Bailly, which we did on many occasions for shopping, dining, hiking or just exploring the wonderful villages of Noisy le Roi and Baily. The weekend and mid week markets are an absolute must for any visitors to either explore or to stock up for your stay. A car is recommended however the property is approximately 15 minutes walking from the Noisy le Roi station if you prefer to travel in by train and bring your own bikes. Bikes are provided by the owners. The rooms are spacious, well equipped , comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. The beds were extremely comfortable and there were no nasty surprises. The apartment is well suited to a family of four or two couples. The property is on a working farm and we received fresh eggs for breakfast. the chickens can be fed and there are horses, goats and other animals on site. The hosts were very welcoming, spoke excellent English and ensured we had all we needed for our stay. We would definitely return.

Heerlijke woning met tuin in buurt van Versailles en Parijs
Sfeervol, oud huis op het terrein van een boerenbedrijf. Lekkere eigen tuin er bij. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. De eigenaresse woont er naast en beantwoordt alle vragen snel en accuraat. Met de auto ben je zo bij de supermarkt, het station (om naar Parijs te gaan) en in Versailles. Je mag ook gebruik maken van fietsen. We hebben een heerlijke week gehad op deze mooie, rustige plek.

Beautiful country cottage
The perfect place to stay if you want to visit Paris or Versailles. Although close to these touristy hotspots, you can still enjoy the peaceful countryside and let your children roam the farm's premises. Ours delighted in the horses and made friends with Jacky, the farm's dog. The friendly owner, Cécile, was always ready to help and made us feel even more welcome. We would come back anytime and can only recommend it to others.

Unterkunft entsprach der Beschreibung. Grösse für 4 Personen ausreichend.
Lage für Versailles und Paris okay (Versailles 2 Stunden anstehen für 1 Stunde in Massen durch die Prunkräume durchschieben!). Per Zug nach Paris fahren war sehr leicht - für ein günstiges Wochenticket wird ein Lichtbild benötigt! Küche ist mit Herd, Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle, Backofen, Wasserkocher, Toaster uns Nespresso, -Maschine gut ausgestattet. Störend waren die vielen Fliegen in der Wohnung, welche mit Fliegenfallen einigermassen erträglich gehalten wurden.

We had a wonderful time in this quiet cottage. The setting is simply charming - a little cottage on a farm. The owners are very nice and welcoming. (Cécile speaks perfect English.) We booked the cottage for our visit in Paris & Versailles and we were so happy to come back to this peaceful haven every night after the craziness of the city and the main tourist attractions. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Cécile for your hospitality!

D'excellentes vacances
Un gîte charmant et très bien agencé, des propriétaires disponibles et adorables, le tout dans une ferme avec des chèvres, des poules et un paradis de chevaux, nos enfants et nous même, étions tout simplement ravis. Versailles et son château sont à 10 min en voiture, la ferme de Gally avec sa cueillette ouverte et ses ateliers pain et beurre pour les enfants, à 5 min et le parc de France Miniature à 20 min. Le lieu est idéal pour une famille qui souhaite passer des moments très dépaysants, tout en restant très proche de lieux touristiques. Le miel produit dans la ferme même, est très bon. Nous avions un petit pot d'offert à l'arrivée ce qui est une attention très agréable. Les œufs des poules ont été également fort appréciés par toute la famille. La machine à sécher le linge, ainsi que la cafetière Nespresso sur place sont des équipements supplémentaires qui apportent un plus indéniables. En synthèse, un très beau gite, un très beau cadre verdoyant, tout en restant à une grande proximité De Versailles et de Paris.

guter Tipp!
Sehr gepflegte, renovierte Wohnung auf 2 Etagen mit TV (französische Sender) und WLAN, gut ausgestattete Küche, WC/Dusche für jede Etage (das für die untere Etage ist über wenige Treppenstufen zu erreichen; im OG befindet sich auch eine Badewanne) Die Vermieter waren sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Gute Fahrräder mit Gangschaltung werden vom Vermieter gern zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Bauernhof liegt - umgeben von Feldern - an einem Bachlauf in der Nähe von Versailles und weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten. Der Hof-Betrieb ist kaum zu merken. Im nächst gelegenen Ort gibt es besonders gute (prämierte) Baguette - unbedingt probieren. Bis zum nächsten Bahnhof sind es ca. 15 min mit dem PKW und dann noch 25-30 min. Zugfahrt ins Pariser Zentrum (Wochenkarte inkl. Metro kostet ca. 26 € für Erwachsene). Wer im Urlaub nicht jeden Tag Großstadt haben möchte ist hier richtig!
