A comfortable gite in a peaceful location. The swimming pool was wonderful and the water was just the right temperature. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Many activities were provided, including table tennis, croquet and badminton. The gite was well equipped with everything we needed. The bedrooms were rather small but the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room was spacious. There was a private garden with a dining table and lounge chairs. We enjoyed our stay very much.
