Perfect stay in the Ecrins

We completely enjoyed every minute at the apartment and in the beautiful Valgodumaur Valley. The apartment is perfectly situated in a lovely small village close to some spectacular hikes. The place is sparkling clean, comfortable and private. Everything is of high quality.You will want for nothing! Jean-Jaques and Catherine were so considerate of anything we might need and generously shared from the garden and fruit trees and offered great recommendations for our hikes. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Highly recommend this stay!

Un grand merci à nos hôtes nous avons passé trois semaines dont nous nous souviendrons longtemps. Le gîte est parfaitement adapté pour 5 personnes et le jardin est vraiment agréable. La region est magnifique et pour les amateurs de randos les possibilités sont nombreuses, et Jean Jacques est de bon conseil. Merci pour les délicieux légumes du potager. Bref n'hésitez pas

Une vallée très belle avec des randonnées superbes

La location est en parfait état et correspond bien à la description : très calme, jolie vue, agréable terrasse et localisation parfaite. Les propriétaires sont charmants et très attentionnés. Nous avons profité des légumes du jardin gentiment fournis par les propriétaires. Le Valgaudemar est une très belle vallée avec de nombreuses randonnées et de très beaux lacs (appréciation de haut-savoyards !). Le tout sans avoir le monde d'autres lieux des Ecrins. L'accès aux randonnées est aisé depuis la location. Nous recommandons vivement !

une très belle région et un gîte très accueillant

Nous sommes venus découvrir une région , et avons été très bien conseillés en cela par notre hôte. De plus le gîte a grandement contribué à la réussite de notre semaine de vacances. Il est très calme, très bien agencé , entouré de fleurs odorantes apportant une belle touche de couleurs, au milieu des montagnes environnantes. Si vous souhaitez , comme nous, découvrir cette région proposant de nombreuses destinations de balades , à pieds ou à vélo ,adaptées à tous les niveaux, je vous recommande cette location sans hésitation.

Parfait

Rez de chaussé d'un grand chalet parfaitement bien aménagé. Spacieux, lumineux, équipé avec du matériel neuf comme chez soi (plaques à induction, congélateur, lave vaisselle, BBQ, Wifi performant, glaçons et glacière pour les pique niques etc ). Le propriétaire est chaleureux et nous offre les produits de son potager. Le village est calme, bien placé à l'entrée de la vallée, à l'écart de la route principale. La vallée du Valgaudemard est fantastique. Bref que du bonheur.

Un rez de chaussée spacieux aménagé avec soin dans un cadre magnifique

L'appartement est grand et soigné, les propriétaires charmants et discrets. L'extérieur est très agréable avec vue sur les montagnes. On trouve tout pour se ravitailler à Saint Firmin à 1,5 km. Le cadre est vraiment superbe et on peut faire en hiver du ski de fond à La Chapelle en Valgodemar, des randonnées à raquettes ou à pieds à partir de la maison, du ski de piste dans des petites stations, ou pousser jusqu'à Super Devoluy ou Orcières-Merlette (à environ 45 mn). Et ce séjour nous a donné très envie de retourner dans ces magnifiques paysages en été ou le choix des randonnées est encore décuplé. Nous recommandons donc tout à fait ce gîte, où nous avons passé un excellent séjour.
