French ‘fix’ satisfied

We had a wonderful week. We were made so welcome by the friendly owner and her family. The property is well equipped, comfortable and provided us with the peaceful environment we were in need of. The pool was very welcome, considering the glorious weather we enjoyed, although we were so busy discovering the surrounding area we didn’t make as much use of it as we would have liked.

Séjour très agréable

Séjour idéal pour recharger les "batteries" Cadre reposant et bucolique. Petit bémol côté location: manque d'isolation phonique par rapport au logement du dessus. Et pour les frileux, manque de couvertures d'appoint ( les nuits sont encore fraîches au mois de mai)
