    Our RWC Trip to France

    We loved the gite, it was clean, everything was well catered for and it had a great setting. Michel and Martine were great hosts and left us to enjoy our holiday but were around if we needed them. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and would recommend to friends to stay there and we would gladly go back. The rugby matches we saw in St Etienne were great, fantastic atmosphere and great to watch with people from so many different countries attending.

    Nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux de la part de Michel et Martine. Nous avons pu découvrir la région sereinement : baignade et saut dans La Loire, spectacle de rapaces, balade à la passerelle, lumières nocturnes au Puy en Velay...et déguster le petit alcool de verveine offert par nos hôtes en fin de soirée. La piscine était bien entretenue et le logement confortable, avec une bonne literie. Séjour impeccable, ressourçant et chaleureux.

    Week end en famille

    Un week-end chaleureux et ressourçant en famille. Nous avons passé un moment formidable chez Michel et son épouse, des hôtes d’une grande gentillesse, attentionnés et toujours disponibles. Le lieu est un véritable havre de paix que l’on hésiterait presque à partager tant il est préservé ! Leur gîte est superbe, niché dans un cadre splendide, avec de vastes espaces verts parfaitement entretenus. La configuration est idéale pour les enfants, qui se sont régalés tout le week-end entre jardin, balançoire et piscine, le tout avec une vue imprenable sur le château d’Artias. Un lieu où l’on a qu’une envie : revenir.

    Gite très agréable

    Gîte très bien équipé au calme et dans la verdure, seul bémol : il n'y a pas quatre chambres mais seulement deux de 4 couchages (dont 2 en mezzanine) et il n'y a aucune isolation phonique entre séjour et chambres (plancher simple) ... quand on séjourne avec des bébés ça oblige à chuchoter !

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour : balades, randonnées, canoë-kayak et marchés locaux, ainsi que la visite du Puy-en-Velay . La piscine a été appréciée de tout le monde, fous rires garantis ! Le gîte est très agréable, il y a exactement deux chambres qui ont chacune une mezzanine avec respectivement un grand lit double et deux lits simples. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et sont de très bons conseils. Nous recommandons vivement !!!
