Grand gîte spacieux très joli en vielles pierres avec une grande pièce de vie, salles de bain joliment aménagées, baie vitrée dans la cuisine avec une vue magnifique sur la campagne avoisinante. Conseil du propriétaire pour venir jusqu’au gîte à prendre en compte ! Sinon vous risquez de passer par un chemin difficile.

Tolles Haus - tolle Lage
Wir sind froh, dieses Juwel in der Nähe zu Tarare entdeckt zu haben. Die Zufahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich und sicherlich nicht für jedes Auto geeignet. Dafür wird man mit einem tollen Haus, einer fantastischen Aussicht und grenzenloser Ruhe belohnt. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen und bei den Temperaturen (35C) den Pool sehr zu schätzen gewusst. Bei Problemen wurde uns schnell und unkompliziert geholfen - die Kommunikation sehr freundlich. Einzige Anmerkung wären der fehlende Insektenschutz an den Fenstern.Wir werden den Ort und dieses Haus auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
