Séjour calme et agréable
Gite très calme, tout est très bien tenu et les propriétaires sont sympathique et arrangeants. Léger manque d'équipements de base (sac poubelle, liquide vaisselle, éponge...) à prévoir si vous séjournez ici. Petit regret également sur la piscine qui a des horaires d'accès mais les amplitudes restent très large (jusque 20h) et peuvent être repoussées

Semaine en famille
Ancien corps de ferme magnifiquement renové, superbe piscine. Le terrain de petanque est tres sympa également.
La route pour accéder au mas offre un point de vue exceptionnel et la situation géographique est ideale pour découvrir ardeche meridionale et ses rivieres.
Le logement correspond plus a un appartement qu'a une maison situé en r+1 et il y a un r+ 2 également loué au dessus. Cela devrait etre précisé dans l'annonce.
Les propriétaires sont accueillants et gentils, mais un peu trop présents.
Un bon sejour.

Pfingsturlaub mit der Familie
Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Objekt liegt sehr ruhig und abgelegen in einer sehr schönen ländlichen Umgebung, mit Auto hat man in 10 Minuten einen gut sortierten Supermarkt erreicht.
Landschaftlich ist die Region sehr reizvoll und schön, allerdings braucht man ein motorisiertes Fortbewegungsmittel wenn man diese Reize erkunden und besuchen möchte.
Kleiner Wehrmutstropfen, FeWo hat bei der Übersetzung der französischen Originalseite ein wenig geschlampt und mehr versprochen als ursprünglich vom Anbieter als optional angeboten wurde. Hier haben sich die Besitzer als sehr kulant gezeigt und die Leistungen erbracht.
Der Brötchen Service jeden 2. Tag war super !
Vielen Dank an Th. & N.

Tolle Ferienwohnung, tolle Vermieter, alles bestens 😊👍🏻
Die Ferienwohnung von Thierry und Nathalie Könnens wir nur empfehlen 👌🏻
Die beiden sind super nett und haben uns jegliche Wünsche erfüllt.
Die Anlage und der Pool sind sehr schön, top gepflegt und sauber. Alles hat wahnsinnig viel Charme.
Wir wurden jeden Morgen mit leckeren Croissants und Baguettes versorgt und auch Tipps für die Freizeitgestaltung haben wird von den beiden bekommen.
Die späte Anreise (nach Mitternacht) war kein Problem, wir würden herzlichste empfangen.
Alles in allem hatten wir ein überragendes verlängertes Wochenende, vor allem dank der tollen Unterkunft und Thierry und Nathalie.
Wir werden wieder kommen 😊

Séjour très très agréable
Très bon accueil et cadre magnifique. Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse, la disponibilité et les services (pain et viennoiserie le matin, infos et conseils sur les ballades, tapenade maison pour l'apéro...). Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

prima uitvalsbasis om de Ardeche te verkennen. Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst en goeie tips.
mooie streek, centraal gelegen om heelwat te zien en te doen. Spijtig dat er nogal wat 'regeltjes gelden' op het domein, niet aangepast aan een gezin met oudere kinderen (zwemmen steeds onder begeleiding van een ouder en tussen 9:30 en 20u, niet tafeltennissen na 20u).

un petit coin de paradis
Notre séjour fut à la hauteur de nos espérances ! Nathalie et Thierry nous ont tenus un accueil chaleureux, ils ont été disponibles et réceptifs à nos demandes. Nous avons pu découvrir l’Ardèche et quelques mets surprenants que nous a proposé Nathalie. Entre la confiture maison aux gouts originaux, le vin de figue à déguster sur la terrasse et les tisanes du jardin à boire au coin du feu, nous nous sommes régalés !
je recommande cette adresse, nous reviendrons !

Eine tolle Woche in einem schönen Haus mit sehr netten Vermietern, die stets zur Stelle waren, wenn es Fragen gab. Das Haus ist sehr schön auf einer Hochebene gelegen und bietet eine hervorragende Ausgangsbasis, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Ardèche zu erreichen.

Grossartiges Feriendomizil
Hier hat alles gepasst: die Lage, das Anwesen, Der Pool, die Gastgeber, nahezu perfekt. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub und können diese Unterkunft bestens empfehlen, auch mit Kindern.
