Hébergement au top. Repas très bons, très variés et équilibrés. Le patron nous a fait découvrir la faune et flore alentours avec beaucoup d'explications et de conviction. Il a consacré de son temps également pour nous aider à trouver une voiture de location en 48h suite à la défaillance de notre loueur. Nous recommandons sans réserve cet hébergement."
