Sehr familienfreundliches Objekt, die Kinder liebten den Pool und das Billardspiel. In diesem Haus gibt es sehr viel Platz und Jean-Yves war ein sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Vermieter.
Tout y est pour passer un excellent séjour entre amis avec des jeunes enfants et des ados.
Maison authentique et spacieuse, bien située, tout est pensé autant pour les enfants que pour les adultes.
Très bon contact avec les propriétaires qui sont des personnes charmantes et discrètes, répondent à nos différentes demandes avec le sourire !!
Nous n’hésiterons pas à revenir passer un séjour.
