Que du bonheur
Propriété superbe, nous étions 4 et aurions pu être plus nombreux. Les lits sont fait à l'arrivée et Valérie nous a offert en prime qq tomates de son jardin. Le chauffage fonctionne bien, nous avons dû en mettre un peu en fin de séjour à l'arrivée brutale de l'automne. On se trouve en pleine nature, a proximité de très jolies villes comme Sillé le Guillaume ou Fresnay sur Sarthe et bien d'autres, mais aussi du Mans avec sa ville historique. Bref que du bonheur. Merci Valerie.
