Logement très spacieux, très propre et bien équipé: on s'est senti chez nous. L'environnement est paisible avec une vue magnifique. Nous avons trouvé des activités variées à proximité et avons été bien conseillé par les propriétaires, accueillants et bienveillants.

Schönes Haus mit unfähiger Agentur
Das Haus war schön.
Die Agentur war völlig unfähig. Keine Rückmeldung auf 3 e-mails im Vorfeld wegen WLAN (nicht vorhanden).
Weder bei Ankunft, noch bei Abreise pünktlich.
Falschen Schlüßel übergeben, so dass wir 5 Tage lang die (offene) Eingangstür verbarikadieren mussten.
Handwerkertermin extrem kurzfristig (3h vorher) um einen Tag vorverlegt.
Das Haus hat wirklich eine bessere Vermieteung / Agentur verdient.
Ancienne école parfaitement rénovée en un gîte contemporain, confortable, impeccablement propre et où il ne manque rien. La propriétaire est charmante et attentionnée. Nous recommandons vivement !
