Lovely and well located

We had a delightful stay in this charming gîte which was a well-equipped and cozy home for our holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the local area, especially the local coast and beaches and the nearby Pont-Aven. The hosts were very friendly and helpful with great recommendations for walks and restaurants! We hope to return someday and will certainly recommend this lovely place to our friends and family.

Un moment hors du temps

Je conseille sans hésiter cette location, dans un endroit calme et hors du temps, Michel et Marie ont su créer un vrai havre de paix. Une location bien meublée, avec tout ce dont nous avons besoin, propre et apaisante,à quelques minutes de Riec Sur Belon ou il y a tout ce qu'il faut. Et que dire de la touche finale, le sourire et la bienveillance de Marie et Michel sans compter leurs bons conseils. Bref n'hésitez plus et allez y.

Das Haus war sehr sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet für eine fünfköpfige Familie. Der Garten ist groß, sodass die Kinder z.B. Fußball spielen können. Es gibt außerdem verschiedene Gesellschaftsspiele, die man bei Regenwetter z.B. spielen könnte. Marie und Michel sind sehr Nettenette Gastgeber. Merci beaucoup!Gastgeber. Vielen

Autour du Belon

Très belles promenades le long du GR 34 entre la plage de Port Manech et la pointe de Trevignon. La plage de Port Manech est particulièrement agréable, le site est très beau avec la possibilité de se mettre à l'ombre. Michel et son épouse, nos hôtes sympathiques, ont été de très bons conseils pour qu'on passe un petit séjour très réussi.
