2 belles semaines à Peypin

Nous avons passé 2 agréables semaines dans cette maison. Un merci tout particulier à Monsieur Michel, le gardien de la maison qui a été d'une grande aide et d'une gentillesse sans faille. Nous étions 10 personnes et la maison est suffisamment grande et bien organisée pour ne pas être les uns sur les autres. Certes un peu vieillotte et rustique, un petit rafraichissement ne pourrait qu'améliorer cette belle propriété. Idem pour la terrasse autour de la piscine qui est très abimée. Mais nous avons apprécié la grande piscine et les nombreux transats dont nous avons bien profité. Globalement la maison est bien équipée, et pour les petites choses manquantes (dans la cuisine par ex) Monsieur Michel a été très serviable en nous apportant tout le nécessaire ce qui a vraiment amélioré notre confort. Plusieurs soucis de coupure électrique pendant le séjour, mais une action est semble-t-il en cours auprès d'Enedis. Le cadre superbe, le calme, l'absence de vis à vis viennent couronner le tout. Nous recommandons !

Les collines de Pagnol

Nous avons passé un formidable séjour dans la maison de Laurent. Elle est située en plein dans les collines chères à Marcel Pagnol, et l'environnement immédiat de la maison est beau et très calme. La grande piscine et le vaste terrain permettent d'y passer de très belles vacances. Monsieur Michel et sa femme, les gardiens, ont été tout à fait charmants avec nous. Merci !
