Gite tres bien rénové, magnifique.Très propre. Nous étions dix, et avons pu decouvrir votre belle région avec plaisir, malgré un temps maussade en pédalant ou en randonnant.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour familiale dans ce beau gîte, propre, au calme, bien équipé ! Très bonne communication avec les hôtes, qui sont disponibles et réactifs en cas de besoin. C’était parfait
