Le lieu est magnifique, la maison, le jardin, l'environnement : tout est propice à la détente, aux vacances... La maison a été entièrement restructurée et agrandie. En voyant les photos de l'état avant travaux affichés sur le mur du séjour, nous avons pu voir le chemin parcouru, et sincèrement : c'est une réussite. Bravo ! Nous sommes arrivés dans la nuit, nous sommes également repartis très tôt à la fin de nos vacances. Tout a été fait pour répondre à nos horaires "décalés" et nous faciliter le séjour. Tout comme l'entretien général de la maison, de la piscine. Merci pour votre disponibilité ! Nous avons passer 10 jours excellents. ##### Jean-Baptiste M.
