Wir hatten 2 wunderbare Tage und haben die Ruhe und den Aufenthalt genossen. Vielen Dank auch an die Vermieterin für den freundlichen Empfang und dass sie bei jedem Anliegen geholfen hat
lieu très agréable dans le parc d'un château très bien entretenu. Deux terrasse qui permettent de profité de l'extérieur du matin au soir grâce à leurs orientations différentes. Intérieur suffisamment bien équipé pour un séjour de vacance.
L'accueil par Marion est très sympathique. Nous avons croisé d'autres personnes sur la propriété accueillantes.
la région mérite d'être visitée.
