Très bon accueil et bonne introduction détaillé par le couple propriétaire, avec qui j'avais plusieures conversations très intéressantes.Je pouvais même garer ma moto électrique et mon vélo électrique dans la remise. Grand beau jardin, où on peut même se balader un peu. Petit gîte, ma agréable et largement suffisant pour une personne. Bonne atmosphère, bien situé pour faire des tours dans Lodéve et ses alentours (très belle région impressionante).Merci pour ce séjour, famille Volkmann :-)Michel R.
Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre séjour à Lodeve.
Le logement est petit mais bien équipé.
Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et bienveillants.
- Pas trop de détail sur l'équipement du logement sur les informations ABRITEL (ex: Couvercle micro-ondes, Poêle qui accroche).
- Manque au moins une autre casserole plus petite.
- Cuisine très humide avec salpêtre au plafond qui tombe sur la table de cuisine (avons trouvé des petites limaces noires).
- Manque des barreaux à la fenêtre de la chambre qui nous oblige a fermer les volets pour raison de sécurité et le soleil ne rentre donc jamais.
- Rajouter une moustiquaire à la fenêtre de la chambre qui donne directement sur la rue.
- La personne qui nous a réceptionnée a été très serviable, agréable et à l'écoute.. très bien.
Très belle région entre Larzac,vignes et mer.
Pleins de vieilles pierres à voir, de produits du terroir à deguster de personnes à qui parler.
Ingrid , notre hôte, toujours prête à donner des renseignements, preter des cartes Ign et faire un brin de causette...

Ma fille et moi sommes sous le charme de ce séjour dépaysant. Nos hôtes sont très avenants et bienveillants, merci pour tout à eux. Nous étions vraiment bien dans ce pied à terre bucolique ! Le jardin est époustouflant ! La maison est située à proximité de quantité de choses à faire en voiture dans les environs (lac à 12 mn, ballades, ...). Je recommande avec plaisir !
Meine Tochter und ich haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Die Ferienwohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet, der Garten wunderschön und der Vermieter kümmert sich wirklich gut um seine Gäste. Kann ich besten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.
Logement idéal pour un coupe .
Très beau jardin et propriétaires charmants .

Joli appartement dans belle maison et beau jardin méditerranéen
Très bon logement, pour couples, petit mais fonctionnel. Très grand et beau jardin avec vue imprenable sur Lodève. Propriétaires sympathiques. Seul bémol la présence quasi quotidienne du jardinier la dernière semaine de nos vacances soit le matin assez tôt soit en soirée assez tard, pas terrible si l'on souhaite être tranquille, sentiment d'être surveillé ... Sinon très bel endroit que l'on recommande. À noter proche centre ville 2 mn en voiture. Vie nocturne inexistante par contre l'été ( hors festival résurgences).
