Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Régine et Philippe, qui ont vraiment à coeur que les locataires passent un excellent séjour (il y a des petites attentions qui font toute la différence). Leur gîte est très bien équipé, rien ne manque. Il est aussi très bien situé pour découvrir la région. Bref, nous recommandons vivement cette location! ##### Julien G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ---
