Un petit coin de paradis, idéal pour notre séjour entre amis. Entre la piscine, le barbecue et la plancha, tout était réuni pour passer un excellent moment. Le petit ruisseau était parfait pour profiter d’une sieste au calme.La maison est également très bien située, à seulement quelques minutes de Montbrison pour le marathon de la bière, ce qui était parfait pour nous.Les hôtes ont été très accueillants et disponibles tout au long du séjour. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
Sympathique petit séjour dans le logement d'Anaïs et Carlos. L'appartement etait frais, fonctionnel et propre. Les alentours verdoyants et le ruisseau apportaient de la fraicheur.Nous avons eu toutes les informations nécessaires et avons pu nous installer sans difficulté.
Nous avons passé un super long week end , au calme. L'appartement est assez isolé, donc idéal pour se ressourcer et profiter de sa famille.

Heureusement, nos 150 excellents commentaires sur la plateforme concurrente certifient la qualité de ce logement (Agnès a enlevé une étoile car elle n'avait pas souscrit à l'assurance, puis ses enfants ont cassé un objet, mais malgré tout, nous avons eu la gentillesse de ne pas lui prélever les dégâts causés [ni de lui laisser de mauvais commentaire...]). Nous vous invitons à aller lire cette centaine d'avis élogieux sur le site numéro 1 :) Notre statut "Super Host" garantit également le niveau d'accueil que nous offrons. Au plaisir de vous accueillir Au Chant Du Ruisseau. Carlos & Anaïs
