Très agréable maison dans un beau jardin avec une vue remarquable sur le lac.Ce bel ensemble mériterait d’être modernisé quant aux sanitaires ( vu la taille de la maison, un troisième sanitaire pourrait aussi être envisagé) et faire l’objet d’un

Séjour en famille du 11 au18 août (semaine de canicule !). Nous avons été enchantés par notre séjour dans ce cadre magnifique; les baignades dans le lac (à 3 min à pied) ont été ressourçantes par cette chaleur intense ! La maison a un charme désuet très plaisant et est tout à fait fonctionnelle. le jardin est agréable. Cependant nous avons été déçus par l'état de propreté de la maison qui laisse vraiment à désirer (bcp de toiles d'araignée et de poussière sous les meubles et lits, ce qui est dommage et désagréable). Les températures très élevées pendant notre séjour ont rendu aussi le premier étage (au demeurant très fonctionnel) "inhabitable" pendant cette période, tant la chaleur y était étouffante. Avec des jeux de courant d'air et un ventilateur qui a été vraiment le bienvenu, le rez de chaussée était plus agréable, mais l'idéal serait d'avoir des ventilateurs dans toutes les chambres!Sinon nous avons bénéficié d'un excellent accueil par Elisabeth sur place et avions eu des échanges très cordiaux auparavant avec notre hôtesse ; toutes deux, très disponibles, nous ont bien renseigné sur la région; nous avons adoré les petits villages alentour qui regorgent de surprises, de musées, d'insolite. La balade le long de la rigole de la montage était rafraichissante et magnifique, le musée du Réservoir juste à côté de la maison permet de se plonger dans l'histoire passionnante du canal du Midi.. Une semaine ne nous a pas suffi pour explorer tous les trésors de cette région !

Le cadre est magnifique. La maison est spacieuse.L’accueil par Elisabeth a été très agréable. Elisabeth s’est montrée disponible et soucieuse de répondre à nos besoins. Merci à elle.Lorsque nous sommes arrivés après un long voyage et prêts à nous installer, nous avons été fortement irrités par l’état d’hygiène de la maison : poussière, toiles d’araignées et nombreux nids de poussière accumulés sous les meubles et les lits. L’étage était rempli de toiles d’araignée, sur le palier, dans les toilettes et dans la chambre avec de la poussière accumulée . Le ménage a semblé remonter à plusieurs semaines/mois au niveau de l’étage. Nous avons donc commencé notre séjour en passant balayette, chiffon et aspirateur… Nous avions payé 90 euros pour le forfait ménage… Dans tous les cas, les locataires suivants trouveront la maison dans un meilleur état de propreté. Sinon, la maison a été très agréable à vivre. Son emplacement et le cadre nous a presque fait oublier les désagréments ci-dessus.

Belle propriété à un emplacement idéal
Séjour d'une semaine au mois d'août en famille avec petits et grands. La villa est idéalement placée pour profiter des baignades dans le lac. Le grand jardin arboré permet de s'abriter au besoin du soleil ou du vent, et ceci à toute heure du jour. Intérieur un peu rétro, mais tout-à-fait fonctionnel.

BIEN
Des interrogations, nous nous sommes demandés si le ménage avait été fait. Des toiles d' araignées partout ainsi que la poussière derrière les meubles et les lits. La hôte était toute grasse les étagères pas nettoyées et j' en passe etc..
Dommage parce que le site est magnifique la maison grande, et le jardin agréable.
