A fully equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) is available. A living room with an open fireplace (wood provided) and a mezzanine (games room or lounge). There are also 2 TVs with Netflix and free Wi-Fi (fiber optic network). A bathroom (walk-in shower), two separate toilets, and baby equipment (cot, high chair, etc.).

Nice location but needs some host care
Excellent location. Stairs would be difficult for senior citizens and dangerous for children under 5. Would like to have had a shower upstairs. We stayed four nights and there was no hot water upon arrival. There were visible spider webs and spiders. The downstairs was cold but the upstairs was warm. We came in late February during a rainy week and the cold was bone-chilling downstairs. At the last week before arrival a charge of 8 euros was levied by the host for sheets and towels.The residence is historical and the inside is appointed nicely.

Très beau gîte avec un accueil personnalisé.
Nous avons passé 3jours dans ce gîte, au cœur d'une mini ferme avec beaucoup d'espace et de calme. La décoration intérieure originale nous a bien plu. Grande maison où chacun peut trouver son petit paradis.

Beaucoup de charme et de nature
Une belle restauration avec beaucoup d'âme. Aménagé avec goût, nous a permis de passer une nuit étape. Nous n'avons pas eu le temps lors de notre séjour de profiter de la belle cheminée, du salon d'extérieur ni de l'imposant et accueillant BBQ. MAis une belle maison bien équipée avec ces 3 grandes chambres.
