Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la Tanière.Sophie, la gérante était parfaite, elle a su répondre à toutes nos requêtes. Nous lui avons directement fait part de nos déceptions, à savoir:- une chambre n'a pas de fenêtre- le dortoir est une mezzanine, donc ce n'est pas une chambre fermée.A part cela, le chalet est beau, bien situé et agréable pour passer du temps en famille. Merci encore Sophie.
