Le patrimoine de La Source Gilhode est magnifique et idéalement situé pour nos randos vélo. Vincent et Nathalie sont prévenants et disponibles , ils font des efforts considérables pour préserver et embellir leur patrimoine exceptionnel.
Nous avons passé une bonne semaine dans cet ensemble de gîtes « les Gilhodes ». Accueil familial pour ce gîte traditionnel aveyronnais, en pierre, avec son corps de ferme. Les explications historiques sont sympas. L’équipement du gîte est correct. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la tranquillité du lieu, perché près de l’Aubrac, loin de la ville, endroit paisible et à l’écart du monde. La piscine partagée était également un vrai atout pour notre famille. La piscine et ses abords sont très agréables. Si l’occasion se présente nous repasserons avec plaisir.
Mr et mme Colin sont charmants , un superbe accueil avec un présent de bienvenue.
Le logement parfait avec tout le confort nécessaire .
Un environnement idyllique pour se ressourcer .
Je recommande vivement .
