La Borderie is echt een verborgen pareltje! Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, waren we betoverd door het fantastische panoramische uitzicht vanuit de villa. Het verwarmde privézwembad was een absoluut hoogtepunt, het was de perfecte plek om te ontspannen en te genieten van de zon. We reisden met een grote groep en de ruimte was meer dan voldoende - iedereen had zijn eigen kamer en privacy. De traditionele inrichting gaf een gezellige touch, waardoor het voelde als een tweede thuis. We hebben genoten van lange wandelingen in de natuur en zelfs een paar familiebarbecues bij het zwembad georganiseerd. Ik kan niet wachten om terug te komen!
