Perectly setting for relaxation

From the initial communication with the owner to our departure after two weeks of relaxation everything was ideal. We found the property very authentic, comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The location perfect for us as we love rural France. We will definitely consider returning here again

Lovely property

Lovely property, really well equipped if self catering. Plenty of hot water for showers. We took our dogs, one of which is very nervous and although the owners dogs are friendly, we found it a bit disconcerting that which ever door we used front or back they would come round and bark at our dogs. Other than that very nice stay with pleasant owner.

Peacefull getaway

Zeer rustige omgeving. Ideale locatie voor mooie wandelingen. Het zwembad was enkel toegankelijk in juli en augustus voor een additionele kost. Dat staat niet vermeld op de website. Frédéric was een zeer vriendelijke host waar je altijd terecht kon en bezorgde ons een heerlijk aperitief en verse eitjes.

Séjour au calme en famille

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable en famille dans cette propriété qui regroupait tout ce que nous recherchions à savoir la tranquillité et le contact avec la nature. La maison est typique et très bien rénovée et équipée. Parfaite pour un séjour en famille avec enfants au calme. Nous remercions Mr Darthenay pour son accueil et la confiance qu'il nous a accordé.

Vacances inoubliables

Nous remercions les propriétaires, Edwige et Frédéric, et leurs filles pour leur accueil et leur disponibilité. Le logement est spacieux et magnifiquement typique. La région, que nous ne connaissions pas encore, est resplendissante. Nous cherchions le calme et avons été amplement servis entourés d'une nature luxuriante. Les 2 terasses et la piscine sont des plus non négligeables. De magnifiques vacances que nous n'avions pas envie de voir se terminer.

Détente et calme à la campagne

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour aux Charmilles. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil de Monsieur Darthenay, le propriétaire. Juste parfait, très à l'écoute. Le gîte est décoré avec beaucoup de goût et très confortable. La terrasse située derrière la maison permet de profiter du soleil jusque tard le soir. Mention spéciale pour Echalotte, l'adorable petite chatte, qui est venue nous rendre visite de temps en temps, nous apportant un peu de réconfort suite à la perte de notre chat Oscar, qui devait séjourner avec nous aux Charmilles.

Vacances à la campagne en famille

Nous avons passé un très agréable sejour entouré des champs, des bois et des chevaux. Nous y avons trouvé un gîte très authentique et très confortable. Les deux espaces extérieurs sont très appréciables ainsi que la fraîcheur de la maison. Toute la famille a beaucoup appréciée les cours d'équitation. Un grand merci à Frédéric, Edwige et leurs filles pour leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. Nous recommandons vivement ce gîte aux personnes cherchant le calme, la proximité de la nature et des chevaux. Expérience à renouveler

Authenticité et convivialité

Charmant endroit, entouré par les chevaux des propriétaires. Le gîte est authentique et très bien équipé. Les propriétaires sont charmants, prévenants sans être envahissants. Le must : si vous aimez les balades à cheval, Edwige vous accompagnera avec bienveillance et professionnalisme. Une adresse coup de coeur !
