Un peu sombre dû aux ampoules à led nécessitant une chauffe. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de service à raclette et à fondue ( pays du fromage ) ainsi qu'un grille-pain ( nous avons emmené nos appareils avec nous ). Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et comptons y retourner dans les prochaines années. ##### eric d. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Delphine P.

Il est situé dans un endroit charmant, bien ensoleillé avec une vue imprenable et au calme. Il n'est situé qu'à 10 minutes des pistes d'Abondance et une demi heure de Châtel. Un pur bonheur ! Tout est prévu pour les enfants (Bacs à jouets du bébé au jeune enfant, jeux de société, DVD, livres), le mobilier est au top, tout le nécessaire est à disposition (2 lits, 3 chaises bébé). Le nécessaire de cuisine est parfait et complet. Le chauffage et l'eau chaude sont nickels. Le seul bémol étant la TV ( uniquement des chaines étrangères) et l'éclairage qui est plus de l'ambiance tamisée que de la clarté (Mais on s'habitue). Bref ! C'est une adresse à retenir pour y revenir. Merci aux propriétaires et bravo à l'équipe de nettoyage. Annick et Christophe. ##### Annick L.
