Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Gite We really enjoyed our stay! The Hosts were extremely courtesy and welcoming! They gave us a nice tour of the place when we arrived. Our younger kids enjoyed the trampoline that was available as well. The only thing we didn't realize was that the linens were an extra charge as the listing said they were provided. Other than the communication was excellent! We would happily stay there again if in the area. Thanks for allowing us to make memories at your Gite! ##### Curtis D. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### hoff f.
