Gîte isolé, calme et bien agencé
Pour les amoureux de nature et de randonnées, c'est un lieu idéal. Situé au milieu du département, c'est aussi pratique pour visiter le Cotentin et l'ouest du Calvados. L'équipement du logis est parfait, et le petit jardin également pour profiter de l'extérieur, ainsi que le parking devant la porte très pratique.
