Super séjour. Très bon accueil de nos hôtes. Tout au long de nos vacances échanges tres agréables avec des petits conseils sur les choses à voir et faire. Logement confortable et très bien équipé. De plus le Nymphéa avec sa terrasse, vue sur canal est bien situé, au calme. Pedalos et barques à disposition, un vrai plus. Nous recommandons vivement.
