une of the latest reviews The + Very beautiful property of character, very quiet with a beautiful garden! Les - Absolutely nothing! Comment L'Epicerie de Madeleine is a haven of peace with an incredible garden animated by the singing of birds! The accommodation is spacious, warm and very well equipped, nothing is missing! We were able to enjoy the outdoors and the barbecue, a real plus. Mr Sibileau is a responsive and caring owner. And we really appreciated the contact with Jacqueline who was present for the welcome and departure. We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this beautiful cottage!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille au gîte de l’Epicerie de la Madeleine.La maison est très jolie et pleine de charme et surtout elle reste fraîche même en cas de forte chaleur.Tout est fonctionnel et pratique, nous avons très vite trouvé nos marques. Les enfants ont bien profité également des jeux et livres mis à disposition. Pour finir, le préau et le jardin sont vraiment un l’ atout de cette maison. Nous avons pris tous nos repas à l’ombre à l’extérieur et les enfants et notre chien ont bien couru dans le jardin !Les échanges avec Raymond et Jacqueline ont été rapides et efficaces !Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !
