Tolle Lage ub

Zu Zweit haben wir als Senioren wunderbare 10 Tage in dem alten Bauernhaus mit Charme verbracht. An Ausstattung hat uns nichts gefehlt.FĂŒr gehbehinderte Menschen erscheint uns das Haus schwierig.Auch das Schlafen ohne TĂŒren ist bei mehreren Personen vielleicht nicht jedermanns Sache. Die Lage und Aussicht sind exzellent und attraktive SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten sind mit dem Auto in 10 bis 60 Minuten wunderbar zu erreichen . Wandern in einer sehr vielfĂ€ltigen Flora ist vom Haus aus direkt möglich. FußlĂ€ufig ist ein sehr gutes Restaurant zu erreichen. Insgesamt eine sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft fĂŒr Individualisten, die die Auvergne erkunden wollen .
