Beau Gite en pleine nature.

9.0

En pleine nature grand parc adjacent au gite avec possibilité de balade au milieu des avocatiers. Les hôtes très agréables. Partie nuit séparé de la partie commune (cuisine, salle à manger, salon...). Belle chambres (2 chambres pour 4)

Very peaceful, rural location but close enough to town. Perfectly equipped kitchen - thanks for the milk. Comfy chair for morning coffee! Great shower

Only one comment - a lower than the bed wee stool, seat or chair in the bedroom would be fab for putting on and lacing up shoes

Very friendly and helpful owners. Quiet, peaceful location in the middle of nature.

The room was a little bit smelly.
