May 23, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming rustic gite We stayed only one night so there was not much time to investigate the area apart from the glorious surrounding countryside, lovely little cottage, a bit rustic surroundings but charming inside and has everything you could need. The wifi could do with a booster as while we were there it dropped out a little occasionally but not important for us. We did think it was not very clear that there were no linens included as they usually are but it seems they are not mentioned in the description of amenities which was a bit disappointing as we could not buy bedding for just one evening, however we were able to rent them for a charge. The host was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. ##### Tracy H. Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Isabelle et Jean-michel D.
