Le logement est spacieux et magnifiquement typique. La région, que nous ne connaissions pas encore, est resplendissante.

Plenty of hot water for showers. We took our dogs, one of which is very nervous and although the owners dogs are friendly, we found it a bit disconcerting that which ever door we used front or back they would come round and bark at our dogs. Other than that very nice stay with pleasant owner. ##### Debbie B.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil de Monsieur Darthenay, le propriétaire. Juste parfait, très à l'écoute. Le gîte est décoré avec beaucoup de goût et très confortable. La terrasse située derrière la maison permet de profiter du soleil jusque tard le soir. Mention spéciale pour Echalotte, l'adorable petite chatte, qui est venue nous rendre visite de temps en temps, nous apportant un peu de réconfort suite à la perte de notre chat Oscar, qui devait séjourner avec nous aux Charmilles. ##### VAUTELET C.
