We loved it!

Our stay was wonderful. Prompt communication with hosts.... we even had a lightning and thunder storm one night that knocked out our power. They responded and had us up and running again the next morning despite being out of town on vacation. The place is in a perfect location for exploring the area. Quiet and was wonderful to hear the birds singing every day. Our son loved it and thought it was so cool to be staying at the castle. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Très bon séjour. Hôtes très accueillants, avenants et attentionnés. Le logement est bien équipé et décoré, on y est très à l’aise. Le coin est très calme, sans passages, avec une vue splendide. 2 restaurants au pied du château qui méritent le détour (et c’est à 1 minute à pied). Beaucoup de coins à voir et à visiter dans un rayon de moins de 30km, de quoi remplir une semaine. Invite à revenir pour profiter de l’hospitalité des Lotois !

Excellente localisation proche de tous les sites touristiques du coin, et ville conséquente à proximité (Bretenoux) pour supermarché et services si besoin. Pratique et non précisé dans l'annonce: possibilité de louer du linge de maison, draps, et ménage au départ en sus.
