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.

A wonderful place to relax

We had an amazing vacation, the pool was cleaned everyday and the gite is beautiful with all you would need for a lovely stay. The nearby villages and historical sites are amazing. The hosts are extremely helpful even though our French wasn't very good! We will practice and learn ready for our next trip. Merci beaucoup nous manquons deja nos vacances.

Super Aufenthalt

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen bei Michel und Martine. Das Haus bietet sehr viel Platz und ist gut eingerichtet. Das Pool war natürlich das Highlight für unsere Kinder. Die Gastgeber sind extrem nett und haben sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert. Man kann viel unternehmen von dort aus. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Logement idéal et hôtes sympathiques

Weekend entre amis réussi grâce à un logement spacieux, avec une belle terrasse dans un cadre magnifique et retiré (montagne autour, vue sur un château en ruine sur les hauteurs). La maison est superbe avec un terrain de pétanque arboré très agréable. Michel est très sympathique. Les hôtes sont accueillants et de bon conseils sur les alentours. Merci et à bientôt peut être.

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 !

Séjour au gîte de Vousse

Nous sommes partis en famille avec deux jeunes couples de 20 à 23 ans, un adolescent de 15 ans et nous couple de 47-50ans. 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 !!!

Insgesamt sehr nett

Tolle Lage, sehr ruhig gelegen und bestens geeignet für Wanderungen in der Umgebung. Haus und Pool sehr schön. Empfehlen würden wir allerdings, die Ausstattung mal wieder zu ergänzen (Brotmesser, Eierbecher…) und das Sofa sollte man sich besser nicht näher anschauen. Die Endreinigung kostet 80€, dass ist leider im Inserat nicht vermerkt. Wir hatten das Pech, das anscheinend unsere Vormieter diesen Service nicht genutzt haben und die Vermieter dieses nicht kontrolliert haben…trübt den Gesamteindruck etwas, insgesamt aber empfehlenswert für Menschen, die die Ruhe genießen wollen!
