Wir sind sehr herzlich von Jeanne und Stephane empfangen und über das wunderschöne terrassierte Grundstück geführt worden. Die Wohnung ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem, was man braucht ausgestattet. Wir waren mit unseren fast erwachsenen Töchtern dort, die es sehr genossen haben, dass man sehr schöne Badestellen am Fluss zu Fuß erreichen kann (ca. 10 min). Der Ort Les Vans ist lebendig und bietet viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, einen Markt, Cafés und Restaurants. Es gibt wunderbare Wanderwege, die hier ihren Ausgang nehmen. Aqua Terra Silva ist der perfekte Ort, um abseits des Trubels Ruhe und Erholung zu finden. Die Produkte von Jeanne und Stephane aus aromatischen Kräutern und Pflanzen (Tee, Sirup, Kräutersalz und Marmeladen) in bester Bioqualität sind köstlich und sehr empfehlenswert.
