Séjour PARFAIT ! Silvia, l’hôte, est accueillante et très réactive par message. Le logement est magnifique et très confortable, le coin est très beau. Nous étions là bas pour un EVJF et avons passé un superbe week end. Je conseille fortement.

This is a beautiful house amid rolling french countryside. Perfect for complete relaxation. Silvia the host, lives just next door so is on hand to help with anything but also completely respected our privacy. She made us the most delicious local cheese and meat boards for our last night which I could not recommend more! (…)

Excellent séjour dans la maison de Silvia. Silvia est arrangeante et la possibilité de rester jusqu’à 16h le jour du départ est appréciable. Le logement était impeccablement propre et tout était réuni pour passer un bon séjour.

We had a perfect stay and really enjoyed the beautiful house, garden and pool! The house is well equipped and suitable for a group of friends. The view and surroundings are wonderful! Silvia is very helpful and responded quickly. We would love to come back and would definitely recommend!

Unsere ganze Familie hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt in Silvias schönem, gepflegtem Haus in besonderer Lage. Der Pool war bei dem hochsommerlichen Wetter eine erfrischendes Erlebnis. Silvia war eine sehr gute Gastgeberin, stets zur Stelle und sehr freundlich.
