Nous étions 10 adultes pendant 3 jours. Chaque couple avait son petit coin.
Malgré un problème de fuites et évacuations d'eau dans la sdb du petit gîte, qui je suppose seront réglés très rapidement, nous avons passés un agréable séjour dans ce gîte spacieux, propre et très bien équipé.
Nous avons bien profité de l'extérieur avec un grand coin repas, une autre terrasse qui donne sur la piscine, et d'autres petits coins bien agréable...
La piscine chauffée avec une très belle vue sur les vignes était très appréciable !
Merci à Lucia et Paul pour leur accueil et leurs gentilles attentions à notre arrivée et de nous avoir permis de repartir un peu plus tard le dernier jour.
Nous recommandons ce gîte +++

Bonjour et merci pour votre critique, nous l'apprécions. Les excuses pour la fuite qui a maintenant été réparée.
Ce fut un plaisir de vous faire rester dans notre chalet, nous espérons vous revoir tous à l'avenir.
Nous étions 13 entres cousins et enfants âgés de 5 à 13 ans. Lucia et son époux nous ont merveilleusement bien accueillis dans leur gîte familiale. Une deco a l’anglaise très soignée avec des bibelots qui ont une histoire ! Tout était conforme à l’annonce, voir mieux. Le gîte est spacieux, 6 chambres, un salon cosy et une belle cuisine. Un jardin bien agencé avec de nombreux coins à l’ombre. Une piscine qui surplombe les vignes ! Nous n’avons manqué de rien car bien fourni en vaisselle, jeux… nous avons hâte de revenir ! Merci Lucia pour votre accueil et votre belle attention à l’arrivée et surtout de nous avoir permis d’accéder au gîte plus tôt et de rendre les clés plus tard, c’était appréciable . À bientôt !

Merci beaucoup pour votre merveilleuse critique et ce fut aussi un plaisir pour nous.
Nous sommes impatients de vous revoir tous à l'avenir.
Salutations.
Paul et Lucia.
Nice and weell equiped property with an incredible swimming pool. Location is great in a very quiet village. The kitchen is fully equiped and charming, the living room is a bit small for 11 persons. Property manager is very strict on timing and want a guaranty deposit (dépôt de garantie) in cash that we were not informed.
