Notre fils Timothé de 4 ans a littéralement adoré sa chambre très bien pourvue en jeux et lecture, avec sa salle de bains privative. On ressent en vrai désir de recevoir et de faire plaisir. Heureuse découverte de Valebonne avec ses bars et restaurants pour agrémenter nos fins de journées. Seul bémol et pourtant pas des moindres, la piscine n’est pas éclairée le soir et là je ne comprends pas…c’est un élément extrêmement important lorsque l’on sait que 30% d’une location sont imputés à la piscine lorsqu’elle existe. Dommage ! ##### bruno d.
