ein wunderschöner Urlaub

Das Haus hat viel Charme und Geschichte. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und bietet wirklich Platz für bis zu 10 Personen am Tisch. Das Wohnzimmer ist geräumig und gemütlich. Wir haben fast jeden Tag auf der netten Terrasse gefrühstückt und gegessen. Es gibt auch einen tollen Grill auf der Terrasse. Das Haus liegt mitten im Dorf: der Bäcker (der köstliche Obsttörtchen und Kuchen anbietet) ist direkt nebenan. Gegenüber im Cafe "Le Globe" gibt es sehr leckere hausgemachte Pizza. Ausserdem gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt, einen Bio-Laden, in dem man frischgemahlenen Kaffee bekommt und einen Metzger im Dorf. Sonntags ist Markt direkt unten in der Strasse vor dem Haus. Neben dem Café Globe gibt es noch zwei weitere Restaurants im Dorf. Eins davon haben wir besucht: sehr gute Küche und nettes Ambiente! Den Tennisplatz des Dorfes ist in einem sehr guten Zustand.

Très bon séjour

La maison est très agréable, très bien équipée, fonctionnelle, agréablement meublée et décorée. La petite terrasse et les jeux pour enfants sont un vrai plus ! (Le seul petit bémol : pour les personnes qui mesurent plus de 1m85, les lits sont un peu trop petits.) Quant aux Cevennes : un enchantement !

Exzellent

Lovely Location für a Two-week family escape beyond stress and civilisation. We loved it. A charismatic building together with anything a Family with two small children needs (bbq, toys etc).

gîte très agréable et confortable

Nous avons passés un très bon séjour à Sainte Croix vallée française. Ce petit village est très animé! Concernant le gîte, beaucoup de jouets sont mis à disposition pour les enfants, c'est très appréciable. Le seul point noir concerne les bruits de la rue qui nous ont empêchés de dormir.

Agréable séjour

Nous avons séjourné dans ce gîte pour le réveillon de la St Sylvestre 2016-2017. La maison est spacieuse et très bien équipée au niveau sanitaires, rangements et matériel ( rien ne manque notamment pour les enfants/bébés!!!!!) et les propriétaires sont très accueillants. Bonne situation au centre du village donc à proximité des commerces. Une terrasse bien protégée sur le derrière qui doit être agréable aux beaux jours (en hiver, nous n'avons pas pu bien sûr en profiter...) Des points un peu moins positifs: la maison donnant sur une ruelle, il y a peu de lumière et pas de vue ( mais cela ne nous a pas gênés pour ce court séjour ) et l'isolation phonique n'étant pas très bonne, on entend dans les chambres les conversations du salon... Question hébergement, la maison est parfaite pour un groupe de 7 adultes ( ce qui était notre cas ) Par contre, dans la troisième chambre les lits peuvent accueillir deux enfants mais ne sont pas assez larges pour deux adultes. En conclusion, le tarif de la location étant très avantageux, nous avons trouvé le rapport qualité-prix satisfaisant et cela nous a tout à fait convenu pour fêter l'arrivée de la nouvelle année ;-)

Séjour inoubliable dans un gîte atypique des Cévennes

Gîte exceptionnel, tout confort, avec tout à disposition (il ne manque vraiment rien). Le gîte est parfaitement équipé pour accueillir 10 personnes, avec une grande table dans la cuisine pour dîner tous ensemble! La cheminée est un grand réconfort après de longue balade dans le parc national des Cévennes. Situé dans un petit village de la Vallée Française, ce gîte est idéal pour se retrouver entre amis et s'isoler dans le monde rural, loin de la ville. Le cadre est incroyable, particulièrement en automne (à mon avis) avec des couleurs diverses et variées. Nous avons eu un coup de coeur pour ce petit coin de paradis. Très bonne communication avec la famille Litrol: disponible et rapide pour les échanges de mails. En résumé, ce gîte est parfaitement conforme aux photos et descriptif de l'annonce abritel. Nous avons vraiment passé un weekend inoubliable dans les Cévennes, le gîte y en étant pour beaucoup. C'est pourquoi je le recommande à 100 % et je mets 5 étoiles (facilement) pour la qualité des prestations. Un GRAND merci à la famille Litrol.
