Nov 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Conforme aux photos et proche des commodités . Avons passé 5 jours très agréables.Le seul bémol serait de revoir les tiroirs du meuble cuisine qu’on a dû mal à ouvrir et le repose serviette de la salle de bain suspect.Des chaînes TV internationales seraient un plus.Bouteille de vin offerte à notre arrivée Donc , nous recommandons sans hésiter ##### C M.
