To reconnect. Naturally.

Expérience cinq étoiles!
La maison et la chambre sont magnifiques et très confortables. Piscine et jacuzzi excellents.
Jérôme et Pascal était très accueillants et donnaient beaucoup d’idées et d’informations sur la région.
J’avais demandé la table d’hôte une soirée – délicieuse! Et les petits déjeuners étaient très copieux.
Je retournerai avec plaisir.

Chambres spacieuses. Et les hôtes sont très disponibles et accueillants. Vous pouvez vous y rendre les yeux fermés

Tout était parfait !
La maison est fantastique, toute neuve et incroyablement charmante. Les hôtes sont absolument exceptionnels : très serviables et accueillants.
On accède aux chambres depuis le hall, et la terrasse est accessible directement. Tout est meublé avec des produits de grande qualité. Le jardin et la piscine à 30 degrés sont très agréables.
Outre le cadre idyllique, un petit-déjeuner copieux est servi chaque matin, et il est possible de commander le dîner certains jours. Ne manquez pas cette occasion : les hôtes sont d’excellents cuisiniers.
La maison est idéalement située entre la vieille ville et la ville nouvelle : tout est accessible à pied. C’est un endroit très calme, à l’image de la ville.
Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux et nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
