Ancienne ferme rénovée et décorée avec goût par les propriétaires, qui ont mis en valeur leur patrimoine pour le rendre attrayant : le bois omniprésent a conservé toute sa place. Le gîte est très confortable, impeccable et bien chauffé pour 8 personnes avec la possibilité d'accueillir 5 à 6 personnes de plus notamment dans la mezzanine au dessus de la vaste pièce à vivre. Le grand luxe : vue sur la montagne alentour, salon autour de la cheminée, quatre chambres, deux salles de bains, deux toilettes ! L'équipement est récent et adapté pour un long séjour. La situation du gîte près d'un village est idéale pour visiter la région en toutes saisons. Bref, nous recommandons chaudement ce lieu. ##### Bertrand V. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gaelle P. 12 Jun 2016 #### Un séjour des plus agréables Un endroit magnifique et paisible propice à la détente. La vue sur les montagnes,la proximité avec la station de ski et le village de Seyne permet de passer des vacances agréables.
