We were impressed and felt so comfortable

We arrived very late, which was no problem for the landlords. From the first moment we felt very comfortable in the beautiful house. There was wine for us and juice for the children as a gift on the table and fresh flowers in the vases. The next morning, when we looked out the terrace with its incredible panoramic view, we were completely blown away. Everything was designed and made with love. We enjoyed playing table football and spending hours at the pool. The equipment is very good and everything is clean. The whole house invites you to stay. Everything can be reached within a few minutes by car. The owners are very nice and answered all our questions very quickly.

Fantastic unspoilt hideaway

From the moment that we arrived we were spoiled, personally welcomed by Claude & Sarah at the door. They had left wine and cheese for the adults and apple & pear juice and cakes for the children all from the local area, which were a lovely start to this fabulous stay. The whole Gite was fantastic, split over 3 levels, in this quite hideaway, we could not have asked for more and were spoilt, after travelling onwards on our French summer vacation, it was further clear how good our stay was. It’s such a lovely quite area of France to stay, with so much on the door step, from watching the sunset at the top of the Col Du Grand Colombier, swimming in the nearby lakes, miles of rolling roads for cycling, tree top adventures and not forgetting the wine tasting. The Gite had everything we needed for a family of 5, all the games available, to the pool and perfect accommodation. We loved the Gite and hospitality so much, we have booked again with Claude & Sarah at one of there other Gites for next year for a full two weeks. Thank you Sarah & Claude.

Das Haus hat all unsere Erwartungen erfĂŒllt. Unserer Familie (2 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) hat es an nichts gemangelt. Der Pool und der Billardtisch im Keller waren besondere Highlights. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern verlief reibungslos (auch auf Englisch). Die Umgebung bietet Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Gastronomie und jede Menge lohnenswerte Ausflugsziele. Wir Danken Sarah und Claude fĂŒr sehr entspannte Tage in ihrem Ferienhaus.

Super séjour dans un cadre agréable

La maison est idéale pour les activités adultes et enfants (piscine avec profondeur variable, billard, baby-foot, sauna). Le four est un peu petit pour une cuisiner en grande quantité. Nous sommes venus en famille et avons passé de bons moments, notamment sur la terrassee. Le portail de la piscine ne pouvait pas se fermer à clé mais les enfants ont été disciplinés. Nous recommandons cette maison.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in schöner Lage

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Haus von Sarah und Claude. Der Pool war gefĂŒllt und wurde gereinigt, war im April aber eiskalt, was die Kinder nicht davon abgehalten hat, trotzdem reinzuspringen. Im Sommer ist er sicher ein Traum. Sarah hat uns bei der Ankunft empfangen und war sehr nett. FĂŒr 7 Personen + Hund war genĂŒgend Platz, Haus, Garten und Terrasse sind groß. Es gibt sogar eine kleine Sauna, Tischtennis, Billard, Dart und Tischfußball. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön! Insbesondere fĂŒr Radfahrer, aber auch zum Wandern. Lyon ist einen Besuch wert, man erreicht es in etwas ĂŒber einer Stunde. Vielen Dank an Sarah und Claude, dass wir in ihrem schönen Haus wohnen durften.
