Tres bon sejour

Gite très propre et spacieux,le propriétaire est très gentil ,le seul bémol ce sont les lits enfants trop hauts et sans filets de sécurité, inutilisable car trop dangereux, mais je suis sûre que la solution va être trouvé par le propriétaire.

5 estrelas em todos os sentidos para grupos ou familia

Tem todas as condições para convivios de familia numerosas ou grupo de Amigos. A envolvente é fantastica e calma, tipica de aldeia de interior. A configuração da camarata, o parque infantil e o campo de Tenis/Futebol criam os pontos de diversão perfeitos para crianças. Com um cafe nas traseiras, um restaurante a 100 metros, e Belmonte a 6 Km permitem ter acesso a tudo sem ter qualquer sensação de isolamento. A limpeza a higiene, merecem de igual forma uma nota maxima. Assim em conclusão: 5 estrelas para toda a experiencia no alojamento e 7 Estrelas para o Sr. Nuno Couto, que pela simpatia e total disponibilidade desde o primeiro minuto em que efectuamos a reserva tornou o nosso Natal ainda mais inesquecivel. Bem Haja
