La Belle Carnac
This lovely gite is beautifully appointed and in a superb location with easy access to the towns and places of interest nearby.The only issue(s) being a lack of a book/binder with info on the wifi and other notes about rubbish collection, etc. Communication with the rep was spotty but friendly.

Heavenly Stay Among the Menhirs
What a lovely stay we had at this perfect property! We came to Carnac to visit the Alignments and what better place to settle than right among these giants that dat back 3500 years. Boniface was just lovely...wonderfully helpful and very communicative. The house had everything we needed: a well equipped kitchen, two full bathrooms, a cozy living and dining area, comfy beds. Everything was spotless. It was just wonderful. A quick drive into town and you can walk the beautiful coastal trail off the beach. Minutes from the house are the Alignments and the beautiful museum. Hiking trails surround the property. It was blissful. We all remarked how we could stay there for an extended period to explore more of Brittany. For a sensational meal we could not recommend more highly, Chez Auguste...just a short drive from our home. Thank you so much for making this property available to us.

Très bon séjour en famille
Logement conforme à l'annonce. Propriétaire bienveillant et réactif, qui s'est adapté à la composition de ma famille en fournissant une chaise haute et un lit parapluie. Je recommande vivement pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille ! :)
