Nous avons passé un bon moment dans la très belle maison de Charlotte, qui est atypique et agréable à vivre. Cependant, petit point négatif quant au jardin, qui en réalité n'est qu'un terrain en friche impraticable .. Tout comme l'accès privé à la rivière.Attention aux moustiques bien présents dans la pièce de vie, pensez a l'anti moustique !

Bonjour Emilie,
Desolée que les moustiques vous aient importunés.
peut-être connaissez vous une rivière dont les abords sont sans ces petits betes, moi, pas. Quant à l'accès à la rivière par le jardin, curieusement les trois familles venues cet été ne m'on pas fait ces remarques, bien au contraire.
Une autre fois, peut-être devriez vous porter votre choix vers un logement citadin avec jardin, presentant d'autres carateristiques, dont le cout.
Unser Aufenthalt war sehr schön. Wir waren als Familie mit 5 Kindern unterwegs. Der Empfang war trotz verspäteter Anreise sehr herzlich und freundlich. Die Vermieterin. war immer ansprechbar und darauf bedacht, uns den Aufenthalt zu verschönern. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist sehr gemütlich und besteht aus einer Sammlung von sehr schönen Unikaten :) Die Küche hat alles, was man benötigt. Wir fühlten uns sofort wie zu Hause. Der eigene Zugang zum Fluss durch den Keller war genial und endet an einem quasi eigenen kleinen Strand. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Alle Einrichtung für den täglichen Bedarf waren fußläufig erreichbar und trotzdem wohnt man mitten in der Natur. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Très pratique maison pour une famille.
Nous étions 4 et très à l'aise dans la maison.
Le premier étage reste frais dans la journée malgré la chaleur.
Charlotte est une hôte réactive et adorable.
Merci !
