Très beau séjour dans une magnifique propriété. Pierre et Elsa sont très accueillants et toujours disponibles pour donner des explications et des conseils. Ils ont rénové avec beaucoup de goût la maison du gardien qui a gardé son authenticité. Le logement est assez bien équipé, et la literie est de bonne qualité. La piscine n’est pas chauffée et est à partager avec les locataires des autres gîtes. Le domaine est très grand et offre de très jolies balades avec aussi la possibilité d’utiliser une barque pour découvrir la propriété au fil de l’eau.

Nous avons passés une super semaine dans une jolie maison caractéristique , située dans un domaine fantastique. Propriétaire Pierre a réussi à réaliser beaucoup de confort dans le gîte. Bon point de départ pour faire des promenades à pie, en vélo ou en voiture!
