J’ai été accueilli de manière remarquable par les propriétaires de ce gîte niché au cœur du pays de la Vésubie, leurs conseils et recommandations ont été précieuses pour découvrir la vallée de la Vésubie ainsi que la vallée de la Roya. Les randonnées autour sont superbes et le Mercantour par sa faune (bouquetin, chamois et marmottes) est vraiment tout proche.Le logement est conforme aux descriptions de l’annonce et rien de manque à la liste équipements, grande télévision (même si on est là pour s’en passer) je reviendrai très probablement me ressourcer dans ce lieu à découvrir.

Première saison sur Abritel et vous êtes le premier client sur cette plateforme. Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de déposer cette très belle appréciation bien descriptive. Oui ces deux petites maisons sont petits nids au coeur d'une merveilleuse vallée, ressourçante et apaisante. Au plaisir de vous recevoir à nouveau.
