Les lits sont fait à l'arrivée et Valérie nous a offert en prime qq tomates de son jardin. Le chauffage fonctionne bien, nous avons dû en mettre un peu en fin de séjour à l'arrivée brutale de l'automne. On se trouve en pleine nature, a proximité de très jolies villes comme Sillé le Guillaume ou Fresnay sur Sarthe et bien d'autres, mais aussi du Mans avec sa ville historique. Bref que du bonheur. Merci Valerie. ##### Domique G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### marie-anne c. 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellente situation pour découvrir la région Gite bien équipé, spacieux et silencieux ##### marie-anne c.
