Logement recommandé
Ce logement est très agréable à vivre et très confortable. Parfait pour un couple avec enfant. Le jardin fermé permet de laisser les enfants jouer en toute confiance. Attention simplement aux différents escaliers intérieur et extérieurs. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et disponibles. La région permet de nombreuses activités variées. Seul bémol, le wifi ne capte pas à l´intérieur du logement.

Un excellent séjour
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison très confortable de Nicole et Marcel. Nos hôtes nous ont accueillis de façon très chaleureuse, en portant une grande attention à notre confort. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à échanger avec eux, notamment sur la région qu'ils connaissent depuis bien longtemps et que nous découvrions. Au-delà de l'escalade (qui nous motivait initialement), beaucoup de randonnées sont accessibles à proximité dans des paysages grandioses. Une destination à recommander.
