L'hébergement était tout à fait conforme à la description qui nous a été communiquée. Nous avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de simplicité et de gentillesse. Une relation de confiance est tout de suite née avec notre hôtesse.
Séjour ressourçant dans un environnement calme et un hébergement tout confort
Nous avons pu profiter en famille d'un séjour très agréable. Le calme, la forêt et ses chemins partant directement de la maison, ainsi que la jolie maison de pierre fraiche nous ont permis de profiter d'une température agréable alors que l'extérieure dépassait les 30°.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis et quelques produits du terroir nous attendaient à notre arrivée.
Tout était parfait dans la maison, très propre et très bien équipée.
Maison de caractère, mais accès critiquable aux SdB.
Problème d'odeurs des eaux vannes non résolu pendant notre séjour, et disjonction électricité / orages, qui nous ont incommodés fortement le soir et la nuit
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Oct 2022
Nous sommes désolés que vous ayez été importuné par des odeurs extérieures .
Celles ci ont résulté des fortes averses après une période de sécheresse de plus de deux mois, comme nous vous l’avons expliqué.
Notre installation sanitaire est neuve, et nous avons constaté ensemble que les odeurs ne provenaient pas des salles d’eau comme vous semblez le sous entendre.
Le disjoncteur protège la maison de la foudre pendant les orages. Il suffit de le remettre ensuite, comme expliqué dans le livret d’accueil.
Merci pour votre petit mot dans le guest book « le séjour fut très agréable et reposant , parfait pour se retrouver en famille. L’endroit est magnifique, calme, et l’accès à la forêt derrière la maison très pratique « qui nous a rassuré sur votre bien être pendant votre séjour malgré les aléas liés à la nature !
Séjour dans une maison familiale chargée d'histoire. Grande maison confortable rénovée et décorée avec goût. Propriétaires accueillants et disponibles. Idéal pour un séjour en famille avec enfants et petits enfants.
Très jolie maison, agréable et fonctionnelle, au calme, avec beaucoup d’espaces verts. Parfait pour des vacances ou week-end avec famille, enfants et amis. Une grosse partie de la maison a été refaite à neuf. Propriétaires accueillants et sympathiques.
Très agréable rencontre familiale dans une belle et spacieuse maison très bien équipée, située au calme et proche de la forêt, (Idéal pour la randonnée).
Accueil chaleureux de la part de la propriétaire.
Je recommande vivement sans hésitation.
