We arrived very late after a long drive but the key had been left in a safe place for us to retrieve. Cindy came the next day but we don't speak French and Cindy didn't speak English and communication was via the translate app on the phone - some of the details / instructions were very difficult to follow. We had booked for 13 but unfortunately only nine of us were able to go and enjoy the lovely facilities - big kitchen, dishwasher, large patio area, swimming pool area - perfect for a large family group of mixed ages.Would recommend not arriving late so that a full check in was undertaken upon arrival to avoid any misunderstandings. A full translation of all the information on the property would also have helped. However it was a very welcome break in lovely surroundings.
Gastrvije ontvangst door mevr Sinibaldi, groot huis met volledig uitgeruste keuken (beetje verouderd maar alles voorradig), ruime kamers met zeer goede bedden, Wifi functioneert top, goede communicatie met eigenares via SMS
Maison particulièrement bien équipée pour passer une semaine en famille réussie. La piscine chauffée est top avec le pool house, le terrain de pétanque parfait et la maison de très bonne taille.
Très bons échanges avec les propriétaires réactifs à chaque demande.

Merci Isabelle , vous êtes la bienvenue pour un prochain séjour . c’est très agréable d’avoir un groupe de voyageurs comme vous et votre famille !
Nous avons séjourné avec toute ma famille le temps d'un week end, et nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Delphine. La maison est grande, propre et il ne manquait absolument rien. La communication avec Delphine puis avec Cindy était parfaite, et les cadeaux de bienvenue étaient super et très appréciés. Un grand merci !

merci pour votre gentil message, vous êtes toujours les bienvenus !
Nous avons passé 15 jours agréables dans cette grande maison avec un grand terrain. Le terrain de boule pour pétanque a été très apprécié. Et que dire de cette grande piscine pendant la canicule ? Un régal ! Tres bon séjour. Et une hôte qui réagit au quart de tour. Bravo

Merci pour votre gentil commentaire! à une prochaine avec grand grand plaisir!
La maison a fait l'unanimité et toute la famille est contente de son séjour. La piscine est grande et clôturée, impossible pour un enfant d'y accéder sans l'aide d'un adulte. Nous avons également apprécié de pouvoir manger devant la piscine grâce à la table abritée et la petite cuisine, appréciable également la douche et le toilette à proximité. La maison est grande, deux étages avec chacun une salle de bain (baignoire + douche) et un toilette. Les chambres sont correctes même si certains lits double sont un peu petits pour deux adultes. Les enfants ont adoré la salle de jeux. Le barbecue est un peu petit pour une grande famille, la table de ping-pong est neuve, par contre le babyfoot laisse à désirer. Les propriétaires sont disponibles et arrangeants, nous avons eu le droit à un cadeau de bienvenue. Je recommande, je pense que nous reviendrons.

Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un bon séjour en famille. Merci pour vos remarques , nous essayons d'améliorer notre prestation chaque saison. Au plaisir de vous recevoir à nouveau!
La maison est beaucoup plus grande que montré sur les photos et le cadre de vie est extrêmement calme et chaleureux. La piscine est très propre et parfaite pour des amis ou de la famille. La maison est à proximité de beaucoup de lieu culturel en voiture et vous ne vous ennuierez pas en posant vos valise là-bas!

Merci pour ce gentil commentaire ! Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau cet hiver ou cet été !
L'arrivée dans la location à été perturbée par des dysfonctionnements liés à la piscine ( pompe à chaleur et système de filtration hors-service, robot nettoyeur défectueux) mais nous avons quand même pu profiter de la piscine après des réparations. Des propriétaires très sympathiques et disponibles. Une maison grande, calme et très bien équipée. Dommage que la piscine soit aussi éloignée la maison. Quelques mauvaises odeurs dans le sous-sol et dans la chambre d'enfants.
