Bon grand gîte rural
Nous avons passé un très bon week-end dans ce gîte rural très grand et pratique pour des familles et des enfants. Le cadre extérieur est magnifique et très calme et la maison très grande et chaleureuse. Le propriétaire est très réactif sur les demandes et très souple sur les horaires. Je recommande ce gîte pour des groupes d'amis ou des grandes familles qui souhaitent se réunir dans un cadre naturel très agréable.
