Fabulous gîte

Had a wonderful week at Gîte Draché. The accommodation is exactly as described with everything you need. The gardens and pool area are beautiful and the work that Sophie and Jean-Phillipe have put in to creating a perfect haven is incredible. They were both so welcoming. Supermarkets and plenty of local attractions all within a short drive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.
