Nous avons tout d abord eu la sensation d être comme à la maison à l arrivée sur les lieux, dû au chaleureux accueil réservé par les propriétaires. Les lieux sont magnifiques, vous vous y sentirez à l aise. Nous avons très bien dormi, la literie est de standing. le petit déjeuner est copié et aussi varié .

J étais donc seul durant mon séjour. Ce gite a toutes ses chambres à la location séparées de leur maison. Ce qui rend le concept plus intime. De plus les hôtes sont très discrets. Gite très propre, Au petit soin pour moi. C est un de mes meilleurs déplacements. Ils se sont adaptés a mes horaires, très tôt le matin mon petit dej était servi. Ce que j ai apprécié le plus c est biensur la piscine ( pour moi seul ;) la cuisine extérieure et " honesty bar" c est comme à la maison on se sert comme on veut juste a noter sur une fiche ses conso. C est vraiment un avantage de cette cuisine en libre service , pour les personnes qui déjeunent souvent au restaurant. Avec frigo , plancha , on peut faire ses courses et sa popote. Je n ai pas eu l impression d etre en déplacement pro, mais plutôt à des vacances. Je recommande ++++. J ai vraiment trouvé une adresse pour mes prochains déplacements sur ce secteur. ##### William Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thierry Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super Super site.
