Family friendly

We spent a pleasant week here in April with our three young children (5, 3 and 7 months) and our friends with their infants. The accommodation was flexible enough for all our different sleeping requirements and the garden was perfect for the children (secure and with play equipment). The kitchen was well equipped and the fridge/freezer and cupboards had plenty of room for all our food for the week. A great family home stay.

Nous avons passé de très belles vacances. la maison est confortable et assez fraiche malgré les grosses chaleurs que nous avons eu. Le propriétaire est charmant et à l'écoute. L'environnement est idéal. On peut faire ses courses à pied et aller se promener dans le village à pied. Celui-ci est très animé. La baignade dans le lac est à 7 min en voiture.

Wir waren 6 Personen und in der ersten Juli Woche im Haus . Ich kann nur positives berichten der Empfang war sehr herzlich und unkompliziert. Wir hatten 2 Autos mit einem großen und kleinen Hänger für die Motorräder . Alles hat super in den Hof gepasst, nichts musste auf der Straße stehen . Das Haus hat alles was man benötigt . Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Wir werden wieder kommen .

Perfekter Ort für Motorradtouren

Wir durften eine Woche Gast im Ferienhaus Les Iris von Mitch und Hanna sein. Alles war wie beschrieben und das Haus schön geräumig und vor allem kühl, wenn man die Rolläden rechtzeitig benutzt hat und die Motorräder standen sicher in der Garage. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Patrizia, die noch mit der Endreinigung beschäftigt war, empfangen und sie hat uns alles erklärt. Alle waren immer sehr schnell per whatsapp erreichbar. Alle notwendigen Geschäfte (Supermarkt, Bioladen, Metzger, Bäcker) waren zu Fuß erreichbar im Umkreis von 800 m und die Tankstelle direkt gegenüber beim Supermarkt. Zum See konnte man ebenfalls laufen (knapp 4 km) direkt die Straße am Haus hochlaufen. Kurz, unser Urlaub war perfekt, auch den einen Tag Regen konnten wir gut im Haus verbringen. Wir waren bestimmt nicht zum letzten Mal hier. Vielen Dank an Hanna, Patrizia und Mitch für alles. Veronika und Gerd aus Karlsruhe und Schweigen-Rechtenbach

Super Feriendomizil

Wir sind eine Gruppe von drei Motorradfahrern und einer Sozia und haben besonderen Wert auf ein Ferienhaus mit genügend Platz für einen Motorradanhänger und eine Garage für die Motorräder gelegt. Das Ferienhaus bietet all das. Zudem ist es ein abgeschlossenes Grundstück, nicht einsehbar mit schönem großen Garten. Das Haus selbst war perfekt für uns. Von der Küche und dem Essbereich war aufgrund der Fensterfronten sogar die Umgebung mit den Bergen zu sehen. Alles war perfekt für einen Urlaub eingerichtet. Es fehlte uns nichts. die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und unkompliziert. Die Abwicklung erfolgte völlig reibungslos. Der Supermarkt ist direkt nebenan. Castellane City ist nach 600 m zu erreichen. Das allerbeste war die Lage für uns. Nach dem gleich nebenan liegenden Kreisverkehr begannen bereits die Kurvenetappe. Wir sind so begeistert, dass wir das Ferienhaus nächstes Jahr wieder buchen werden.

perfect stay with family

Michel and Hanna offer the perfect vacation home for a family or a group of friends. Our kids loved the fully enclosed garden. The large Casino supermarket is just meters away, the Castellane city is a few minutes walk down the road. Noise is no concern at all, in fact, the nights a perfectly quiet. Gemma showed us the house and provided all information we needed. Everyone is super fast in answering any communication. We can't think of anything missing or something that could have been provided in addition - simply the perfect vacation house. Merci to the Besançon family and to Gemma! We very much enjoyed our stay!

Location impeccable pour un séjour dans le Verdon

La maison est très agréable, conviviale et spacieuse pour 8 personnes. Il ne manque rien, tout est fonctionnel. Barbecue, plancha et terrasse. Les enfants ont apprécié le jardin et les jeux. On peut se rendre au centre ville de Castellane à pied et faire ses courses au supermarché qui se trouve juste derrière la maison. Les gorges se situent à 1 heure de voiture et le lac à 10 minutes. Merci à Otto et sa femme pour leur accueil, leur disponibilité et leurs attentions. Nous retenons l'adresse pour un prochain séjour dans le Verdon!

In dieser Ferienwohnung hat es wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Sauber, ordentlich, komplett. Alles was man braucht. Ich wurde während der gesamten Zeit sehr sehr gut betreut und habe eine Menge Tipps bekommen. Die Wohnung war in einem wunderbaren Zustand. sehr gutes Internet und Deutsches TV Alles tipptopp! Die Umgebung und das Wandern haben das Übrige zu einem tollen Urlaub geleistet. Ich bedanke mich bei Hanna, Alexandra und Raimond für einen tollen Aufenthalt und kann die Wohnung und die Gegend, allein oder mit Kindern, allen empfehlen.

Superbe grande maison conviviale

Tout, maison, acceuil, proprete, equipement (y compris wifi) a ete parfait. La maison est encore plus jolie que sur les photos, tout est tres bien fini et la decoration interieure est tres reussie. L'acceuil a ete efficace et nous avons particulierement apprecie le dossier contenant pleins d'informations pratiques indispensables sur la region . Tout est tres propre et il y a plus que suffisament de linge de maison a disposition. Les cuisines interieures et exterieures sont tres bien equipees et il y a des jeux et des livres a disposition (et meme une tele dans chaque chambre). Mais ce que nous avons le plus apprecie c'est l'excellente qualite de notre sommeil; les chambres sont parfaitement independantes /insonorisses et les matelas sont exceptionnels. Les chambres 2 et 3 sont petites, surtout en comparaison des salles de bain qui sont royales, mais on s'habitue tres vite . Vraiment tout a ete parfait et nous recommendons cette maison pour les familles (nous etions trois generations sous un meme toit) ou entre amis. La maison ofre pleins d'espace conviviaux mais est aussi tres bien concue pour que chacun puisse s'isoler quand il en a envie
