Super gite in beautiful surroundings - idyllic family holiday!
The gite at Rigal is beautifully appointed with everything you could need for a family holiday. The garden and surrounding area is great fun for little (and big!) people with a pool, climbing frame, trampoline and other outdoor toys. Feeding the animals each day with Jacqui and Chris was an absolute highlight for us all. Jacqui & Chris are so welcoming and thoughtful, we really enjoyed seeing them and chatting about living in France!
We only left the gite on a couple of days but there are numerous places to visit locally and some amazing views to be had.
We booked Rigal for a week and ended up staying for a month! This is a beautiful property, a comfortable home, and a lovely corner of France. But the real charm of Rigal is in its very warm vibe, thanks to hosts Chris and Jacky, and to the myriad animals on the property that add an unexpected dimension to a stay there. We hope to be back soon.
Isolée au milieu d'une campagne verdoyante et valonnée, cette maison ancienne, parfaitement restaurée, vaste et adaptée à tous types de voyageurs (enfants en bas âges, ados, familles, groupes d'amis...) a répondu à toutes nos attentes et même au delà. En plus de la compagnie des animaux (il s'agit d'une petite ferme), nous avons pu pleinement profiter des parcours de randonnées très nombreux et très bien balisés dans les communes avoisinantes.
Les propriétaires, qui vivent dans la ferme, ont été très discrets tout en répondant efficacement à nos requètes.
Expérience à renouveler, lorsque les beaux jours seront là, pour profiter aussi de la pisicine en plein air.
