Petit bémol concernant du matériel abîmé (casseroles/poêles, étendoir à linge) ou manquant (planche à repasser). L'hôte s'est montrée réactive et prévenante. ##### Anthony L.

Plutot que de parler de 3 chambres, il serait plus juste de parler de 2 chambres. Ce gite est fait pour un couple avec deux enfants et non pour 4 ou 6 adultes. A part ce point qui nous a posé probleme, le reste n'appelle pas de commentaires particuliers. ##### Thierry G. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### marc A.
