Superbe gite

Nous avons passé une semaine en août. Gite superbe, très bien équipé, décoré avec goût, plus que propre, dans un hameau tranquille au bout d'une impasse qui se prolonge dans les pâturages sous le Plomb du Cantal, avec deux vues époustouflantes sur les montages de part et d'autre de la maison. Aucun passage dans le hameau, endroit très bucolique. Merci pour l'attention des propriétaires à l'arrivée et agence au top. Seul bémol non mentionné: bien que le hameau soit on ne peut plus tranquille et bien situé, on entend constamment le bruit de la nationale très fréquentée sur la terrasse et dans la chambre parentale. Ce n'est pas très fort mais c'est constant et c'est malheureusement le cas dans toute la vallée.

Magnifiques vacances !!!

Le gite est parfait. Meublé avec goût, très fonctionnel et extrêmement propre. La vue de la terrasse est époustouflante à toutes les heures de la journée. Le calme et le repos sont absolus. Il y fait très bon vivre...Nous reviendrons! Si les lits étaient faits en arrivant .... ce serait un vrai plus !

Bon séjour

Nous avons passé un bon séjour en plein cœur des montagnes du Cantal. Nous avons été les premiers, il y aura quelques ajustements à faire : le ménage pas au top (très poussiéreux), les literies petites, très dures, les oreillers bien « fatigués », un manque de vaisselle. Malgré cela nous avons passé un bon séjour.
